Richmond’s next senior coach

[TigerImposter]

Hahahahahahahahaha just say you don't like Dimma and be done with it. We all know it geez.

That's a very naive statement TT as I actually have a lot of respect for the man as he was basically a battler who worked hard with a FD department to over achieve for his standard of intelligence. You really have to admire and respect people like Dimma.

But in your blinded eyes, the losses were all Dimma's fault and the wins were all the assistants good work.

But what about those games where we led all game but lost at the death, whose fault is that, Dimma's i guess but weren't the assistants in charge while we were winning, how come it's not their fault that leads led to losses, and what about oppo run on's, Dimma's fault obviously cause he is too stupid to holt that run but the assistants sit in that same box and send orders out or did Dimma muzzle them at that exact time. I'm confused TI maybe fill us in please on whose fault it really all is.

I never said any of that TT , but your inability to read posts. I said his strengths were that he humbled himself and listened and worked with a team of people that made him successful. The reality is you're selling Dimma short or even hate him by taking such wonderful characteristics away from him.

Is there any chance Wayne Campbell could return as football manager or possibly a replacement for the chief, no inside knowledge but he was in the group sitting near Brendan Gayle for the Saints?

 

[NaturalDisaster]

So you agree with me that he needed to improve as he was shite before 2016. I’m not mocking anyone as it’s fact.

Needing to improve on something doesn’t mean you’re shit though.

 

[TigerImposter]

Needing to improve on something doesn’t mean you’re s**t though.

And again I never stated that. I clearly stated in my OP Dimma's strengths and weaknesses and the major point being he'd forgotten what got him his success and how he then reverted back to his old ways.

He’s been saying it for years.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Uncharacteristically shithouse post from you TI

It's not that surprising.

We had a star studded line up that would do that, but he was found out in 2016 and the club spent millions on supporting him. Dimma was a listener and when he humbled himself and used this skill he became successful. IN 2016 another poster and myself made the analogy where Dimma was trying to play chess with three extra pawns and replacing them over a Rook , horse and Bishop. He would then put the King in front of the Queen and Pawns at the back. He was then leaving his team exposed. Surprisingly it all started to unravel again this season in similar fashion. He honourably quit before it got dire and Minibus restored the chess pieces back to the traditional ones and into their original places. Dimma over complicated things as he thought he was a genius, but in reality his true strengths were that he was just a humble listener and follower.

Several finals we were staring down the barrel , you don’t get the team up being clueless ,I think you’re stitching together a narrative to suit your case , he was very very successful however I accept he ran his course and he acknowledged he didn’t have within him to turn around , that’s no failing and I’m thankful

I don't have a narrative, but was only trying to suggest reasons why Dimma rose and then fell again

Hardwick isn't smart and never has been. He worked with a great team and FD in our success. That’s why a review was done in 2016 bc he’d run the joint down with a quality list. His strength was he was able to work and operate better with smarter assistants. In the end they were diminished bc he was arrogant , naive and foolish by taking the lump of the soft cap.
He was then back to 2016 and even worse off bc he became a tyrant . He was then found out to be totally clueless bc he’d lost the brains and support around him. In the end he was also losing the players with bad press conferences relating to them.
Don’t get me wrong I appreciate everything he did, but up until 2016 he was clueless and after 2021 he was hanging onto what everyone had taught him, but as things deteriorated he then went back to 2016 mode by playing players out of position, but even worse refusing to make team changes.
There were two games lost where we should’ve won. Subbing Miller off against Melbourne in the last quarter leaving a fatigued Ryan to ruck and moving Balta who was holding up the BL into the ruck. Undies and Gawn got off the chain, Young was exposed in the BL and JVR ripped him apart. The second game was dropping Miller for the Essendon game. Miller kills it in the VFL and kicks the winning goal on the run 50m out. Jack is destroyed all night. Plays an unfit Nankervis instead of Miller to ruck with Ryan against Draper. Draper has a field day and Nankervis coughs up multiple goals. We lose the unlosable and then KDH says goodbye I’m cooked. Mickey Mouse could’ve coached us that night for a win, but Dimmas incompetence with the MC totally butchered it.
Dimma unfortunately without support was more stubborn and ignorant when challenged and would make incompetent decisions which was his downfall.
He quit bc he was back to his true self and found out and in the end he couldn’t go through 2016 where he had a strong list and couldn’t get the players up. All in his own admission, not that we needed it bc it was so bloody obvious.
The RFC was becoming like the fall of the Roman Empire:

As Nero fiddled Rome burnt
As Dimma fiddled the RFC burnt.

Dimma forgot his greatest strength which made him a triple premiership coach and that was humility.
In 2016 he admitted after losses he would go to his man cave and sit on the rocking chair stressing how to improve the team. He was given a lifeline with millions spent on a review, new FD , fitness staff and technology. They sent him to Harvard to learn about PR and communication and when he arrived back he came to a team that was more positive, fitter and hungrier for success. He humbled himself and worked with everyone and success came. In the end he forgot all this and started to believe he was the emperor of the RFC and was indestructible. He cooked his own goose by forgetting his true qualities.

Just when I thought you had finally worked it all out...this.

Get back on your meds TI, this version of you is back to the 2016 days yourself.
Harvard again? And to learn PR and communication? You just made that up. Are you that stupid that you don't understand the quality of that institution, or that people from all over the world compete to get in there? We've sent a number of staff over there to learn and improve. And we aren't the only AFL club to do so.

Is there any chance Wayne Campbell could return as football manager or possibly a replacement for the chief, no inside knowledge but he was in the group sitting near Brendan Gayle for the Saints?

God no.

 

[Tiger51]

God no.

Very insightful answer, I will now consult my
bible and look for guidance

Wouldn’t think he’s ceo material ,he fills a role livo is in , don’t see the club moving him on

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I cant believe people still spell McWalters name wrong

 

[Tiges1229]

Hahahahahahahahaha just say you don't like Dimma and be done with it. We all know it geez.

He’s just another troll mate hence the name

 

[Triggering Tiger]

Don't want hinkles or bucks and any old timers past their used by date like sheeds and malthouse.

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Why the Tigers must not rush into appointing McQualter as their next full-time senior coach

Who should be Richmond's next full-time coach?

Once shyte always shyte saying goes. I recall when I was betting I was Shyte then I improved myself by reading and looking at stats nahhh was still shyte lol

I believe they will just go with current coach while team plays well. It's not Einstein material.

Plum AFL job sitting on the GC. I’d say next to no chance

If we're all honest with ourselves, the majority of us would have been happy to see the end of Dimma at seasons end 2016. I'll put my hand up.

In truth, I thought he did not have the ability to take us to the next level following our EF exit to NM in 2015. One example that day was his inability to assist Cotchin to break his clamp like tag. Clear the F50 and put Cotch 1 out in the goal square with the no name for 10 minutes FFS!!

No doubt the club saw something and provided him with the assistance and support to get to that next level. Thank God the club stayed true.

Whilst your assessment of Dimma's abilities are quite harsh, there are some valid points you make. However, Dimma had the ability to build relationships which is imo the key to a successful coach. Anyone who watch the 2020 doco on Amazon whilst the club was in the hub would not question Dimma's coaching ability.

When Dimma announced his decision to quit it came as a shock, but not a surprise. He did look tired. So maybe your assessment has some merit.

I supported Dimma in overseeing the re-build or re-set; but now that he has departed, it's like a breathe of fresh air has swept through the place.

What was teagues apprenticeship like by comparison , he learnt off Brendan Bolton l spare me
