Yeah it was more of a running gag for Dimma because he would jokingly bring her up in press conferences and the media seemed to enjoy the banter
But in reality she would of had no more or less of a presence at the club as any other coaches partner
Didn’t Scott and Goodwin go through separations during the same period? Seems Dimma’s split only got focus due to some tall poppy syndrome at play with us being at the peak of our powers
Mrs hardwick apparently forced him to pick pickett for the gf at gunpoint.

Tbf if Mrs Hardwick is anything like my better half she would be managing every single second of my life
Being flawless in example is his job mate. That’s why he is a head coach and paid big bucks. It’s then about the type of example you want to set. For Dimma, it was the family man, mrs hardwick vibe that he chose. You can’t preach something for others to follow and then behind the scenes not live those values. When you get found out everyone realises it was all a fraud
Can relate.

Some interesting things in the book. Some interestkng insights on Jack Higgins, Lids and Vickery. Plus the story about the 6 or 7 players taking drugs early on. What do people reckon? Great book I reckon, couldn't put it down!

A cryptic comment about higgins saying he was "good and bad but that's for another day" (ie no details). Lids and cotchin a bit of rivalry between them. Vickery a bit odd. Cotch and sheds walking in on some players about to take drugs. Grab the book, it's great!

Just had a random thought about the great man.
How good was his 2012 Brownlow year, and how does it stack up to other Brownlow seasons.
I would could confidently say Cotchin 2012 was > than:
IMO only Dusty, Danger, Fyfe (once), Swan, Judd (once) and GAJ (twice) has better Brownlow seasons.
What a farkin legend

Disagree.
He preached being yourself, to continually grow and be the best you can be. He definitely did not preach how to manage your personal life.
His marriage failed, like many others. Nothing to do with his job.
I want to know who the six players that went to Neville Crowe’s funeral were

It was probably the hardest one to win
And the fairest fixture - every team played each other exactly once in H&A. And it completely shut down the numpties who carry on about our MCG advantage.

I keep reminding Lions supporters at work.
You were given a great gift but failed to open it.

Where do you rate Sam Mitchell in all that?
Covid Cup was the best. It proved we were a great dynastic side.
Played one game with Home ground advantage all year (v Carlton in RD 1 - as if Carlton don't play most of their games at the MCG anyway, rather than their 'technical' home ground at Marvel), and played 3 games 'away' - the rest were neutral. Finished 3rd (the two sides that finished above us - Port played 6 games with Home ground advantage and 2 'away' - Lions played 9 'home' games and 2 'away'. We then beat the side that finished top (Port) on their home ground in the prelim and won the flag on a neutral site.
(Interestingly, Geelong had 3 home games and 4 away. They finished 4th. But for Covid which forced games to hubs, Richmond and Geelong were clearly the two best sides).

Really put the rubber stamp of our era in 2020.
I don't care what the oppo nuff nuffs or some media people say or more the point didn't say,But 2020 defined us as a great side.
As you stated we went all over the place and even on GF day we lost 2 important players in defence in Vlas & Houli(Hammy issues).
Yet we still prevailed.
What a Team!

I mentioned his 2012 season - I reckon Cotchin's was better (even though they obviously tied for votes)
