No wonder we booed him in that Prelim!

I didn’t say he did. Dimma lit a fire when he said Dusty owed RFC nothing and wouldn’t stand in his way if he chose to leave.
I reckon he was on the hooch at the time.
I am struggling to think of coaching behaviour in the past, which has come anywhere near creating such a level of (unwanted) controversy.
I booed him.
He came out and said it was time for a change and his preference was to join Geelong.
Why can't we boo him but it's ok to booo Ottens who only asked for 40k extra and Wallace said NO, and we properly ended paying more to get Simmonds to come over.
You keep forgetting that in the same article he also said "He's a required Richmond player & a very important Richmond player."
Can't be much more equivocal than that.
Maybe it's time for you to acknowledge that your reading of it is muddled.
I didn't care people booed, just said I didn't. No judgement here!
I reckon anyone who suggests Damian Hardwick smokes dope is a bit of a dope themselves.
It wasn’t an article it was comment at a press conference.
And his mention of “owed Richmond nothing and wouldn’t stand in his way”caused a predictable response from the media and lots of unnecessary headlines detrimental to Dusty, and a needless distraction for the club.
A bad day for all three and I stand by my earlier comment.
I understood that at that time Dimma had made public that he was using dope legitimately prescribed for medical purposes?
My understanding is that medicinal use and recreational use aren't the same thing.
Bloody funny that there was almost identical comment from Truck over seagull Heppell a day or two ago n no-one even noticed. Yet poor old seagull is Essendrugs current captain, fit n still playing.
So suggesting he's "on the hooch" implies he's getting high and therefore his decision making is impacted.
Medicinal marijuana doesn't impair people in the same way.
I was rapt he left wasn't by luck he left and we made a few more changes things went for the better and loved how he couldn't watch us win flags.
Almost identical commentary from the coaches, Dimma regarding Dusty if he leaves owing Richmond nothing n Truck regarding Seagull if he leaves owing Essendrugs nothing.
Dimma's comments about an unfit, out of form champion player still draws outrage, angst n vitriol many weeks after it was made.
Trucks comments about the clubs current captain who's fit n in reasonable form draws virtually nil interest.
So Moderator you appear to have crossed out from this file your earlier reference to the fact that he may been using prescribed medication!!
In your own pissy way you appear to be following the cover up tactics seen recently concerning the news about Adelaide. And you are calling me a dope.
On the earlier subject, are you saying Dimma’s remarks were inappropriate but he was having a bad day and because his use was prescribed, we should just forget about the mess he left?

Masochist the media attention given to Dusty is in no way comparable to the result in the Heppell case.
Dimma messed up.
