If Dimma had been thinking of leaving for a while, I'm not sure why he insisted on playing Dusty and to a lesser extent Chimp essentially as permanent forwards. You would think it was a measure to further preserve their careers?

Well, well, well ... the cards are now all up in the air.
Going to be fascinating seeing how RFC handles all the spinning plates for the remainder of the season.

I don’t think the assistants will get the head gig.
they might apply as they should but if they fail they might move on.
I sense a big clean out coming.

How about appointing ChatGPT as new coach?
Going forward it will be interesting to see how AI processing tools could potentially assist in game plan development.

Currently ChatGPT uses a language model to process requests.

However in the future if AI intelligence could be used to review thousands of hours of actual video footage (and actually understand what it is looking at), it could then be tasked to break down everything it sees into predetermined information packets and asked to devise various creative ways to beat the game plans being reviewed.

Currently we rely on the experience, expertise and creativity of coaches to understand what they are seeing and to react accordingly (the art of coaching).

Where as in the future, (a somewhat distant one) this art may be replaced with an algorithm.

Imagine the after game pressers. All programmed spin.

Everyone ages a bucket load in 13 years. Think he's held up pretty well really.
And the 13 year increments get more severe the deeper your innings…

37-50 is a nasty jump, with cartilage and collagen fleeing the building like it’s on fire.

I blame mansell! FFS just score and Dimma would have lived to fight another day…. But deep down, it was inevitable.

Dimma has brought us so much success. The stuff dreams are made of. The creator of the Richmond man…. I hope we don’t lose the philosophy of what it is to be a Richmond man.

I hope dimma fronts up this week… the tiger army would love to show their gratitude.

The last time I was this sad at a bloke leaving tigerland… was when Richo hanged up the boots.

Our new coach has big boots to fill… Go tiges!

If you fed the last 5 years of AFL footage in to ChatGBT, then uploaded the AFL laws of the game, the thing will just totally *smile* itself from sheer confusion

Can’t imagine the place without him.
Cultural driver and father to many of the players.
Need our leaders around the club, notably Gale, Balm and O’Rourke to stand up and take control of this situation. Communication must be clear and decisive.
