Damien Hardwick

Dimma's Joint meeting has been cancelled.
Break out room agog with Rusta.. Tea cosies.
Sounds of Dee Lite through the halls of Power on the boom box.
Meanwhile Neil "The Psychedelic Co-ordinator" Balme blankly looks out across Punt Rd oval from his office with feet resting on window ledge whilst reclining on his Director's chair and hands locked behind his bogan bonce.
Great Days at RFC!

I know. ... probably different substances ......but I'm picturing a bit of a love in on the balcony as per attached!

Not really the thread for it and I haven’t studied deeply but certainly heard plenty of stuff that legalising many types of drugs has a net benefit to society despite the mr garrison stigma they have - if properly administered. Any experts on this topic - maybe start a different thead?…..hmmm ok?

Interested to know if Dimma would be classified as a rebuild coach when he started.... Heard David King go on his latest North rant lastnight. ... Damien didn't rate a mention as a coach who had survived a list build.
Only Clarkson and Hinkley

Now I've remembered that King was an assistant under Plough and probably thinks he left us in good shape!:rolleyes:

Sounds like Dimma is giving a company that he has a personal investment in some promotion to me.

His mate Clarko is working for a canabis company.

Not hard to join the dots.

No surprise that the flogs in the media can't work this out.

Grigga, a boundary ruck contest is a portal to the 4th dimension, where physical size is inverted
Do you see how the grass is breathing? Notice the air molecules and the way they dance around the goal post? See the channel? The path, the groove, the natural arc, that the ball must take? You are part of that groove. Be one with it. You, The Groove, The Goal. There is no spoon.

Those gifts of rocks to players pre 2019 GF really starting to make sense now

You should be coaching at the level above AFL, to begin with.

I do hope the powers that be have grabbed a hold of the coach and asked/told him he needs to choose his comments carefully.

He should know by now, every single word he says to the press will be picked apart to the nth degree and if need be twisted and taken out of context to suit a particular narrative.

As I write and listen to SEN.... all they wanna talk about is where Dimma's coaching next and if Dustin's off to NSW.

Thats cause those SEN duds can’t read a whole sentence - any nuance that Dimma implied is lost. Dimma said Dusty is a required player, believes he is going nowhere, doesn’t want him to leave but, but, in the off chance Dusty feels he should go, then he is free to go (read free at the right cost cause Dusty is contracted till 2024).

My only comment is that the club needs to take control of the story, I don’t think it’s helpful for Dusty that speculation continues at this level, then again Dusty maybe be safely tucked away in his safe space oblivious to the media circus - who knows.

I think the whole Dusty talk/Dimma comments is softening the fan base up for what may already be in motion. Only time will tell.

That’s my only take on it too.
Dimma has only flamed the rumours even more now.

i think Hardwick said he would support Dusty whatever he chooses in life. maybe a little clumsy, but just his way of being a "richmond man" and showing he cares more for Dusty than as just Dusty the tiger.

Heard sun
Matt Randell 'Dusty is worth a first rounder + Papley"
What an absolute clown.
A one in millennium player is worth Papley in a swap??
If we deal with Sydney I want Mills or Heeney and there first.
