I’m starting to get worried by some of the texts I’m getting from so many people and some whose mail is usually pretty good.
The club has serious form in relation to imposing their views/morals/opinions on their customers (us), with their overdoing of the woke stuff on many who just want to barrack for a football club and not get involved in politics.
So it wouldn’t surprise to see them pressure an employee (coach) out of the place because he’s done something they don’t like. I hope not, would be a serious overstep and could be the undoing of a great era.
Are you hearing that there maybe a change in coaching ranks?

What's the one thing most are reading on big footy and social media when posting rumours, I was told this by a source lol seriously every man and his dog is receiving dimma rumour talk left, right and centre. Also, saying dimma has been sacked and will be announced this week coming, I call *smile*, especially bout the 2nd female staff member.

Love Dimma and up there with Hafey as tiger immortal but reckon now is perfect time to make change. This year will be extremely hard for the boys to get motivated and someone new and hungry would be good fit. Mc Crae or Kingsley

Third coach wife split according to News.com. But they are choosing not to name him.

Since when did the journos become so sensitive to impact of naming people?
Might be waiting till they get confirmation of the rumour. That way they don't have to start every comment with allegedly.

Gotta love the dribblin *smile* going on.
It's a footy club FFS a microcosm of normal human society, but with everybody else perving in. Nothing happens at a footy club that doesn't happen occasionally in your own neighbourhood.
Way beyond time that the flogs in suits and the eternally outraged stopped their social engineering every time someone farts.

Oooooh! Did he find himself a juicy young horn bag too? Or perhaps it was simply all the pressure n intensity of elite coaching that eroded his marriage. Perhaps he n his missus simply found different life channels n priorities that caused them to drift apart.
All so farking irrelevant n normal human society that it shouldn't even raise a mention except for the fact that it makes someone a profit.

I'll strain the wires tomorrow, just in case Dusty shakes Dangerfield into a fence in my neighbourhood.
Put a battery pack on the fence just in case eZyT. Might make it seriously interesting.

Because this one is more sensitive than the rest. It involves Chris Scott parting ways with his gerbil. And it wasnt mutual.

Wasn’t that the same thought when Mr G Richmond wanted Hafey out?

Why do people want to fix something when it is not broken?

Having been running my own businesses for decades until I retired 3 years ago I learnt that in a majority of turmoil situations it is best to sit on your hands and let it play out for a while before making a decision. Most times it solves itself. Those times it didn't fix itself a decision was easier to make and it didn't hurt the business if that decision was made 3 months later or a year later.

Sit tight. Allow those in the RFC Footy Department, coaches, players etc to sort it out if it needs sorting out. If they can't, then that's when management steps in!

End of Rant!

Doing that to quote and old saying, they would be cutting their noses off to spite their face. Why would they think of dumping the best coach in the land because of his personal relationship maybe below some puritans standards. We are not all perfect

Yeah, Dimma still has 3 more birds on his 'to do list. They pushed training back to allow him to get that sorted before we focus on pre season
Silence from the club is a little disconcerting. McGuire threatened legal action over Collingwood rumours and had the AFL's integrity dept run an investigation. Speculation about Hardwick's job had better be *smile*.
