Do not know but makes huge sense for the AFL to throw $M at him. Would stop player defections sort of last chance saloon exercise there. Even if it happens will never thank him enough for 2017 in my declining years. Was privileged to see Billy Barrett and Mike Greens efforts in 69 and Balme's huge goal in 74 but the 2017 win was something I never expected to see again.
He hasn't ruled it out. GC talk is speculation I guess but if he likes the idea of retiring to Qld and having the AFL fund that retirement, GCS would be an ideal team for him to resume his coaching with.
Or Tassie.
I like the sentiment, but it looks nothing like Dimma. If I saw that head in isolation in a pub trivia quiz I'd never guess who it was in 100 goes.
It is but many of us have had to come to decisions about our future or a job and making big decisions is hard. Sometimes it just takes time and you have to be ready.
I know I have been in the situation so as much as I agree with the bad timing I find it hard to criticise him for it.
I hope he does .. just not for Essendon, Geelong or Carlton.
Yeah that'll be worse. I'm still fuming about Fly at Scumwood. Had it been GWS or GC or even the Aints I wouldn't mind.
Dimma leaving breaks my hope he would coach long term with 2 maybe 3 generations like Bill Belichick of the NE Pats in the NFL, Fergo of Manure and even Sheedy.
If the right opportunity presents itself, then I won't be at all surprised if he's coaching in 2024.
Depending on how the seasons pan out for each club you'd have to think West Coast the Gold Coast and Port will all make a pitch for him.
If the Blues axe Crazy Vossy now it will destroy them, but in 18 month time if things haven't improved for them they too might make a play for him.
Balme said Dimma is genuine. is Flat and will take time awy. Fully expects and wants him to coach again. believes he will get an offer from somewhere that big it would be hard to turn down.
I dont think Dimma has anything planned. According to Balme the longer he is out the more attractive the offers will be. so you may not see him coach until 2025.
