Don't disagree. I've heard Jack is to front the media on Monday in support of Dimma on behalf of the players. My reaction to that is 1) why wait until Monday? and 2) Why not have Cotch make that statement as captain and also due to Mrs Cotchin's interactions with Mrs Hardwick recently
Sounds like the way we got rid of Hafey, that worked well.
Why the hell would you get rid of the coach who has won the last 2 flags? Simple answer: you don't.
As for the PR angle, I would be saying absolutely nothing, giving the story as little oxygen as possible. Are there new stories about this in the press? If not, why start them? Riewoldt to face the press? I wouldn't bother, but this is better than Cotchin doing it as he would be asked about his wife's comments rather than the actual situation, I doubt he would get one question on the playing group's attitude, they would be straight in on what his wife was posting.

We will loss the first two games and they will be calling for his head. From there we will go on and win the flag.
As for Cotch, even if he has lost a bit of respect for Dimma he won't let that get in the way of his love for both club and teammates. It will not affect his attitude and desire for success. He knows he has the chance to be an immortal in the history of the game if the team can clinch there 4th and even 5th flag with him leading as Captain. Then there is Dusty who will be aiming to win his 4th and 5th Norm Smith medal as well as another Brownlow. You couldn't have 2 better players in a side to have that type of motivation to pull a side together to work through this Dimma crap.
McGuire threatens legal action if someone from the media as much as gives Collingwood a stern look.
Agree. Bring on the 3 peat and 4th & 5th Nornies.
While recognising that the main Dimma/Cotch relationship is Coach/Captain, and without personally knowing either of them (and therefore only making comment based on observations), I'd suggest their relationship goes a bit deeper. Call it mateship, call it mentor, even call it minor father figure.
Now I'm sure there are plenty of posters that have a mate that they loved like a brother, who went and did something that disappointed them (I sure have). It doesn't mean you have to no longer work with or have a social life with the person. Depends on circumstances.
It gets down to how bad the "indiscretion" is in Cotch's (or any other player's) mind. And even then, you'd like to think that as professionals they'd be able to compartmentalise things sufficiently to keep personal views of Dimma's life separate from their jobs as footballers.
For me, bottom line is it's nobody's business but those directly involved, and most footballers couldn't care less.
No, prior to Monday , teams were restricted to training in small groups
IF Dimma was involved with this woman as far back as 2019, then it clearly has had no impact on his coaching or the playing group.
We have won 2 glorious Premierships in this time frame.
The tabloid footy media parasites are just stirring up crap as usual.

how did he find the time?
and agree with the posts a few pages about about the daily mail. it is just as likely the opposite of what they wrote is true.
Correct. Half the worries in the world never happen. But don’t be imprudent or reckless nevertheless.
If thats the case, they should sack him for not finding her earlier.
Why wait ? The drum sticks are in the Tigers hands right now & they can dictate when & where!
What horse *smile*. Standing up for human rights and against racism/bullying is not politics.
If you read any of Konrad's books you'd know that being a Richmond man is about acknowledging that no one is perfect and we all make mistakes we wish we could take back. Dimma is going nowhere.
