Balme just said he backs Dimma 100% and he won’t be going anywhere. So it doesn’t look good, Caracella as caretaker ?se7en said:
He took us to a flag, for this we will be forever grateful.
He doesn't seem to make many changes during games, but I seem to recall another coach a bit like that. Would tell players to win their position rather than moving them around, one Tommy Hafey from memory. Now, I know the game has changed and the coach does need to react to what is happening. But, you also have to keep players accountable, make them persist and change the way they are playing if they are getting beaten. I'm not convinced Hardwick quite has this balance right and probably should be making more in-game changes. But I'm far from convinced he is some unthinking moron as seems to be implied here.

I actually seriously question dimmas judgement. He said to stacky before the game 'its gunna take time for you to get up to the speed of AFL'. Losing it.
Now Dimma might be in trouble from the AFL with some exchange he had with an emergency dumpire......WTF do you want pricks!!!
Richmond is the Cash Cow for Gestapo Gill and his goons.

This is a very strong side which definitely can challenge and i like their is no Castagna, Ellis and Butler. Short on the HFF with his booming kick would be a major asset plus he, Rioli and Higgins are all very skilled.
Hardwick will forever be the Premiership coach that broke a 37 year drought. He can coach clearly.
However if the players won't do what he asks anymore, then it's time to find new ones. Either that or eventually he'll be moved on for someone with fresh ideas.
That won't happen for a season or two yet so no point worrying about it too much atm.

It certainly will be an interesting year for Dimma. He was unable to stem the spiral in 2016, but took away some valuable lessons to build a premiership team.
You would think he would be well placed to address the current "mini crisis" before it spirals out of control. Although he is not helped by injuries to virtually every key player and his entire leadership group is now grounded. However he does now need to get the best out of every other player whom many are well below their best.

I think other then Sydney , every team even the great Hawks and Cats have missed finals in the last 10 years while been in a very good era, bloody tough caper this AFL
Shout out to Dimma - made the necessary change at quarter time to not give the Power the easy switch across the ground, and they were stumped.
And also putting Shedda to half back.
Kudos!
