I dunno man. Mrs Hardwick told him to look in the mirror in 2016.

He realised he was too dour, too intense with the young men under his care.

Since then he’s tasted the ultimate success three times.

All well and good to get a hungry, focused Dimma in 2021, but I hope he doesn’t lose sight of what made him a great coach in 2017.

This really saddens me.

Dimma has given me such incredible highs and happiness over the past 4 years. I am sorry that it has not extended to his home life.

It does also strike me that post-2016 he was able to find a balance inside himself when it came to football and coaching, but seemingly unable to achieve that at home.

I am sad for Dimma, Mrs H and their kids.
Sad for the kids.

For Dimma and Mrs H have no idea why they have separate and at the end of the day may be the best outcome for them both. Plenty of people have separated amicably and moved on to bigger and better things.

I feel for the kids too, I hope that it can be as amicable as possible, because it's the kids who get hurt.

If something comes to hurt us next year I sure hope it aint this.

Especially with some serious senior assitants no longer there to carry some of the load for him if he needs it.

Hopefully for Dimma and Mrs Dimma they can sort it out and heal going forward.

C'mon C'mon out with it. Was the temptress actually an attendee / resident of aforementioned hub and therefore perhaps a partner of another hub resident. Or was she an outside visitor or perhaps employee of the hub operators looking after the hub residents.

Can't go in with just a half Goss, " I know something n you don't " announcement that pretty much everyone already knows anyway. Give it full throttle n tittilate everyone properly.

I don't know how accurate it is, but I've read rumours online that it was a Richmond employee in her 20s.

Seems to be the word on the street. Be interesting to have a look at the Gary Rohan thread and compare a few posts now.
If it is true I really feel for his daughters who are only slightly younger. It would be a weird and uncomfortable thing to find out about your father.

One thing that’s not a rumour is Dimma getting into great shape since joining the club. Lost the belly and gained in muscle. It’s probably the best he’s looked since he was a player.

Quick transformation at his age.

I won’t comment on the rumour, but on that topic, when someone is 18 months away from turning 50, you’ll find it’s a very common age for anyone to test the boundaries of who they are again.

Not to mention he was seen hugging Dusty after the G.F!! Must be gay.
Rumours online and word on the street.
Must be true

I watched the St Kilda semi this arvo. Right at the end in the rooms there's a fine young lady in rfc official outfit and yoga pants. You can't miss her. Anyone know who she is?
