If the club was worried they would have offered him more to stay. A bloke who's been at the club 24 years isn't more invested in a coach then the club
I guess we'll poach the pies stats dude in march anyway
 
I love Balme and think he was important at the time but he’s what
70 now?

If it comes to looking a new operations staff in key roles we should be investing in younger guys who will be in for the long haul

You mean the sort of younger person that will f off after a few years for greener pastures like Clarke is about to, Thursfield, Austin, Inness, Caracella, McCrae, Kingsley, Hill and Dimma himself et al have already done.

Balmey could have gone to Adelaide for plenty of extra coin and told them to jam it in the end.

It’s the nature of the beast
It’s not like we didn’t Poach Balme from the pies after a very short stint in terms of football admin staff and they got him from Geelong before that
The only reason Balme didn’t make the move back to SA was due to his health it was the same time he took a major step back for what he does with us
 
dimma went hard for livo, but ends up with his right hand man
dimma turning into sneaky rat. a bit sad really, I get the feeling Hardwick might end up like Malthouse and sheeds where not many tiger faithful care too much about these days. And would consider them flakey egomaniacs69.
Sheedy had a great playing career with us, I watched us a lot from 67, until 75 ish. GFs in 72 - 74. He's my favourite Kevin.

I wasn't watching footy much by Malthouse's time.

Dimma never played for us, just coached. It was sad to lose assistants along the way. Kudos on the 13 years 3 flags, but we've not been great since 21. Dimma steps down mid season did us a solid too.

Suns want him? Good luck. Haven't made finals in the AFL team.

But Yze and Newman & Zeibull are great INs

A much needed change of face/voice.

HARDWICK POACHES ANOTHER TIGER

Sam Landsberger
Richmond will confront another member of its premiership dynasty in Opening Round with life member and team manager Mark Opie reuniting with Suns coach Damien Hardwick on the Gold Coast.
Opie served the Tigers for 24 years and recently assisted football boss Tim Livingstone on match days running the interchange bench.
The part-time stalwart has long been considered part of the fabric at Punt Rd, but has bobbed up at Metricon Stadium in recent weeks.
The lifelong Richmond supporter has joined former Tigers Shaun Grigg (midfield coach), Alex Rance (leadership consultant) and Hayden Hill (football analysis manager) as part of Hardwick’s new regime.
But from that quartet only Hill and Opie were employed at Tigerland last year. Grigg was poached from Geelong while Rance had been living in Queensland and contacted Hardwick when he signed as Suns’ coach.
It’s believed Hardwick’s top three off-field targets when he joined the Suns were Hill, Blair Hartley (Richmond’s general manager of football talent), and Danny Daly (Brisbane’s general manager of football).

Continues to raid our football department and will continue to in future, usually coaches who leave on good terms never do that there's always that mutual respect about poaching staff. The way he went about it how he left and continues it loosing that respect can't wait to beat his plastic club of toys.
geezus ops i thought u were a tiger through and through you can piss of with dimma
 

according to the landsberger article this is the bloke that has replaced Hayden hill. Pretty disappointing Hardwick went after someone as important as Blair Hartley as well as a couple of players, a lot of the good will has been eroded. Pretty telling that Yze mentioned wanting to prove Dimma wrong in the 7news segment ahead of round 0
If we win, someone needs to throw a bunch of sausages at the prick... **** it, if we lose, chuck a big bratwurst at him anyway.

Balmey only knocked back Adelaide due to his health conditions.
