Hardwick quits

[DM#4]

Wowee didn’t see that coming. Wish the big man all the best - has had an epic run, lots of downs at the beginning but also plenty of great times in the latter years. Absolute champion coach of the club and will be remembered for providing a great period of joy to all Tiger fans.

Must be respected for stepping down before people start calling for his head. As much of a shock this announcement is, it’s probably the right time IMO.

The best years of my life.

The 2017 flag was an amazing achievement considering the previous year.

 

[BF Tiger]

Go well Dimma. Thanks for everything.

Does that mean we get Crazy voss?

go all out on leppa so we can derail pies season

 

[Spacedog]

It’s bloody annoying that everyone who would be in line to replace him from internally has been poached by other clubs. McCrae, Caracella, Kingsley and Leppitisch all would’ve been good options.

 

[damicky]

Wow, effective immediately or end of season?

According to SEN, he might coach 1 more game

 

[tigs2010]

Will this count as sacked coach bounce this weekend?


Anyway, i hope he takes some time off, rests up, then coaches us next year. Just what we bloody need he is.

Hope not we need the better draft pi…oh wait

As long as we don’t get Stinkley in return. Not sure I can handle losing while he guzzles his Coke Zero can

 

[U2tigers]

Thanks Dimma for everything.

But its time, and it's great we can move on as a club.

 

[Dont_Argue]

God bless - oversaw our best years, but right time to call it i think. Thanks for everything, leaves as richmonds greatest ever coach.

Does that mean we get Crazy voss?

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Thank you Dimma.
Your a legend of our club.
Stepping down putting the club first.
Always will be a Richmond Man.

 

[two blue tiger]

Thanks Dimma. Era has been remarkable. A legend of the club who'll always be held in highest esteem.

 

[biaseddustyfan]

360 talking about us asking Hinkley to come over

 

[Nostradumbass]

W..... T.. ... F

 

[Royce's Hart]

So who to take over for the rest of the year? Stephen Morris?

can't believe this was leaked by that dickhead tom morris, this should've been heard by the players first

 

[jetbhag]

Surely he coaches out the year

 

[RockJobster0312]

This is a real tough one to swallow.

Glad that it was his own call and wasn’t something that was forced on him. Deserves to go out on his own terms.

Three premierships. Defined a game style which forced rule changes.

Can’t ask for much more. You have a feeling that some structural and game style changes were required and that may have just been a bridge too far.

Sad to see him go. But deserves only admiration.

Just went and told my daughter...

"Telling you this right now, before you see your dad cry..."

Thank you Dimma.

Always will be a Richmond Man.

Agree. 4-5 clubs may be looking for new coaches. If Dimma won’t go next year it gives us the head start. Smart imo

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Thank you Dimma! But why now?

Looking forward to the press conference

So what are the circumstances behind this decision, as at face value its seems a reckless decision leaving the playing group and club high and dry
