Hearing Dimma on 360 last week - he didn't seem resolute in restarting a new rebuild, making it clear to Robbo and Mr. Burns that once this list is done, he may be done with them.
Its the first I've heard Dimma speak like this, usually it's very straight lined, PC answer - this answer was more honest, and more importantly, the vibe I sensed was he's maybe mentally preparing for life after coaching.
Richmond senior coach since 2010, by the end of his contract, he'll have completed his 15th season - longer in duration than probably all our coaches since T Shirt Tommy - combined.
So who do we look towards? Here are some potential options for us,
Chris Newman - Newy has built a solid foundation working with Hawthorn for years, life could come full circle if the transition between Newman and Dimma took place, similar to Mitchell and Clarkson.
Kane Lambert - lauded for his leadership and cool composure, if the desire to become a coach follows, he could work as an assistant under Dimma for a few years until he's promoted to the senior position.
Jack Riewoldt - As passionate about the game as ever, they often say a head coach needs to have charisma, and this is Jack in a nutshell. Could he transition into coaching? Looks more likely to follow in the media pathway of his cousin.
Trent Cotchin - Many ventures await outside of football, Cotch seems to be building his acumen away from the football world - in a similar vein to Chris Judd. If Cotch was to commit to coaching, the take over would be tantalising and very exciting for the fans.
Ivan Maric - Another leader, praised for his calmness and honesty, he's got a wonderful rapport with so many of our current eastern European players- he could very well put his hand up, and maybe coach a couple of stand alone games. Could he become senior coach? It's not out of the question.
Some candidates outside the club spring to mind, but Richmond seem like the club that will go through a process to hire a new coach rather than employ an already established coach from another club. It will be interested to see what lays ahead the next five years, what do you think could happen?
My prediction, Dimma coaches until 2027-2028, take over by Lambo or Newy
