I generally like Caro. I just reckon this article is a piece of crap.

if dimma beat up his wife? was rooting richmond AFLW (or AFL) players? yeah pass judgement.

middle-aged man trades in for something with lower kilometres is not revelatory.

How is anybody to know Dimma hadn't had a root for a decade? Or that Mrs H didn't deliver him an ultimatum 'Its me or the club' and he chose the club?

Ive got a mate whose ex-wife I loved. awesome, easy, couple. I was shocked when they broke up, we had the obligatory 20 beers, and my mate told me he hadn't had a root for 3 years!

I believe only fools judge other people relationships
The lack of physical intimacy or as you po
Also very hard to compare. It was a very different time and players were part time, holding down a job outside of football.

DImma is very good and 3 flags is stunning. I never agreed with Hafey not getting the support to stay on and reckon we would have won more flags with him at the helm. If Dimma can equal Hafey's 4 flags and even go further I would be rapt. They're both legends of the club.

on Tommy. He had the full support and backing of everyone bar Graeme Richmond. Tommy knew that GR would make his coaching life misery if they started losing. GR would leak to journalists all the time against Richmond players he wanted to get rid of dropping negative stories on them. He did this to KB in 1979 first moving him to HFF then leaking to Rob Astbury that KB was retiring after that particular game.

I would have kept Hafey over GR.

I like Caro and everyone here knows I’m not a club apologist, but she’s grasping in her article.

I wonder what she will write about today's racist report on the pies? What is worse in the field of footydom. A marriage breakdown or a club full of systemic racism?

Hope the club can save some shekels so we can get Leppa or Fly back next year to help going forward.
