Dimma turned 39 today and while in the middle of his press conference, the players lead by Jack holding a cake busted in and sang happy birthday lol. Jack said something like "Happy 50th old man!" :lol

Hardwick - "They're a terrific group. I've got to give them credit. One thing they do is they're always upbeat and that's the great thing about coaching this group. They're a terrific bunch of fellas."

Jack Riewoldt's stunt takes the cake
Ben Pollard
From: Herald Sun
August 18, 2011 4:11PM
A BIRTHDAY cake may have improved Richmond spearhead Jack Riewoldt's season in Damien Hardwick's eyes.
During the week, Riewoldt rated his season no better than 65 out of 100. But after delivering his coach a cake on his 39th birthday at Punt Rd this afternoon, "Jumping Jack'' may have elevated his standing.
"It (his season) was probably a 60 before the birthday cake; 70 after,'' Hardwick said.
While Hardwick delivered the verdict in good humour, he was deadly serious about Riewoldt's impact in 2011.
"From a goals point of view, he has been down (56 goals; 78 in 2010) but his score assists have more than doubled since last year, so it depends on how you look at his season,'' he said.
"If we get 50 goals and 30-odd score assists out of Jack, I'd say that's a pretty good season.''
Hardwick said it wasn't all about scoring though, and at times Riewoldt hadn't been up to scratch defensively.
His troubles have been indicative of Richmond's up-and-down form; troubles that Hardwick said the Tigers just had to work through.
"The thing we've focused on is getting our defensive intensity back; it probably fell away over a four to stuff block,'' he said.
"The guys took it up a level last week (in the win over Sydney) and that eventually got us over the line.''
The coach hopes that intensity continues on Sunday against Melbourne, a team Hardwick hasn't beaten in his time in charge.
He said Jake Batchelor would be out for the season with shoulder injury, with VFL players Jeromey Webberley, Matt White and Jamie O'Reilly pushing for promotion.

A Real coach would have laid down the basis of whats required of his footballers so it would never have come to this.
You can't see this?
Kid urselves if it makes u feel good,There are so many things about this club that fall short of the winning requirement,big and small.

"Here sir,this is for u and while i'm at it,for me too.
LMAO@ playing finals with that much inconsistency in discipline.
WGAF If its the idiots birthday-How stuffien old is he,ffs???
He's a grown man who is being paid to harden the club up- bad choice.
This has killed it for me.
IDGAF anymore-enough is enough.
Go the All Blacks!!!!!!

wouldnt happen at Collingwood or Geelong, thats for sure
No but Collingwood will sack their dual premiership coach very soon and Bomber basically pooed in the face of Geelong and Ablett Jnr!
I think a healthy relationship between players and coach is great for morale.

"Hey guys-let me see a show of hands-Who reckons we should present Dimma with a cake with sparklers for his 30th birthday at his next press conference?"
*30 hands go up to the sound of girlish giggles,high fives and some jumping up and down on the spot while hands clapping*

All to similar to the Sydney bus trip.when the players treated it as a joke after a loss.buying snuggies and clowing around etc etc.we have an ordinary culture that players have publically stated recently that we got ahead of ourselves .most people on here are completely blind if you couldn't and can't realize this.that's why we are the worst performing Melbourne based club for the past 20 years.and yet again another year without finals.now who's birthday is it next week?? Francis Jackson??
-
I wonder whether they will bring out a 40th birthday cake this time next year when Hardwick's coaching career is in the bin by then!
Deledio appearing on The Footy Show is getting ahead of ourselves!

Yep Lids thinks he is a bit of a comedian .supporters don't think it's funny that we are a failure as a club .we can't even match the likes of the western bulldogs and North in regards to finals appearance .might add.interesting culture at the dogs.don't make the finals, coach gone.he has only took them to finals 3 previous years.
-
Was rather gay :help :birthday

Yeah and Smorgan said that a grand final is the only thing that will get a pass mark. I thought Eade did ok considering the injuries he has faced. Unless Malthouse go there, i can't see them getting a good coach especially after saying that he thinks a rebuild is not neccasary.
-
thought Eade did okay as well.
Blooded 10 players this year at the Dogs, they will no doubt bounce back
-
Forget the coach and players, this thread is the embarrassment! :chuck
I haven't seen so many horse poo posts in one thread in a long time! While we are at it, why don't we demand that the club song be banned after victories because we just don't deserve it.
It's the coaches friggin birthday not a cosmetics shopping tour.
You negative lot ARE the ferals that all the other clubs laugh about.
-
We are the supporters that have supported for the past 30 years with no joy
-
We are the supporters that have supported for the past 30 years will no joy
Pfffffffffffft!! Your not supporting The club Everything you post is a negative about the place and how it's ran how do you call that support???

I think most people have missed the point in regards to the birthday cake. It was not done to actually celebrate his birthday, it was done as a joke. Hence, " Happy 50th old man" from Jack.
I don't mind it as everyone complained that Wallace was not close enough to his players and had his favorites, Dimma is closer and still makes the tough calls such as subbing Jack when he hit his head ( although now i know a chorus of people will will now say Jackson should be dropped for ill discipline etc!).
I also don't mind if people think it is gay, each to their own, but a win hopefully tomorrow will put all those arguments to rest!
-
...and that's 1300 quality posts :yep
Do I get a cake too ?

Thats why this is called a forum.
I dont agree with the way things have been done and still dont agree, disgrace that the club sold home games. re invent supporter groups that are failures etc 3121, The social club membership is also a joke.
And dont get me started on footy issues, eg signing of Mcgaune for 3 years, promotion of Hislop, you could go on and on
If its negative bad luck, the truth hurts sometimes,
Its laughable that Dimma comes out and says what a great group of players to coach
etc
REALITY IS THAT THEY ARE A POOR TEAM., great real Dimma
Check the ladder.
Western Bulldogs and other clubs make hard decisions, do we ??

if the western bulldogs made hard decisions, brad johnson would have been let go 3 yrs ealier and aker would not have been treted so bad
if the bulldogs made hard decisons, smorgan would have been gone last yr too
ffs bulldogs do not make hard decisons
-
I dont see the big deal, seems they just wanted to catch him off guard and from his reaction they did. MEH Whatever!
-
The social club membership is also a joke.
Well, that's just made up my mind, thanks for that
Buying a bigger Foxtel package instead!

You just keep surpassing yourself with the crap you spew forth.
Nothing like the bus trip at all.
What did you want the players to do on that trip. Sulk all the way home?
You may have some idea about football, but none what so ever about people.

you cant even explain the difference between a reason and an excuse, even though you rattle on about no more excuses, so how do you mange problems?
Do you expect your employees to sulk for days when things go wrong , or remain upbeat and hope to improve and learn from their mistakes?

Dont employ nuffers for a start is a great help :thumbsup

I dont know whether the club has made tuff decisions on not.The proof of the pudding wil be in the years to come.However we could do worse than look at how North and Doggies have been able to play finals football consistantly over the last 20 years whereas we have not.if we werent Richmond with a giant supporter base that has dug into their pockets twice in recent memory ,once to save the club and now to further the club,I fear we would have been dead and buried by now,or sitting on the gold coast somewhere.
I really do think that this current regime running the club (on field and off field) needs to get success,as otherwise i think the future for us might be fraught with upheaval,and all that this entails
-
agree with you there :thumbsup
-
Surely there are bigger things to whinge about a harmless wanky joke on the coach.
Would rather see this than read a player revolt against the leather skin.
-

Yeah, great culture. 57 years since their one and only premiership. There's a winning culture right there.

Agree with that last sentence
Doggies made the easiest decision in the world this week because when faced with the truth Smorgon & Garlick didn't like it
They took the easy way out this week
