Richmond isn't in the AFL?

All done in about 20 minutes. Here's the Q&A:
Jay Singh - What can Richmond fans look forward to this season?
AFL - Winning!
Ben Smith - Will Chris knights be in our best 22 if injury free?
AFL - Chris is having as good a pre-season as he's had. We're starting to see the return of Chris to his best form. Look forward to seeing him play early NAB Challenge.
Grant Turner - Will Ben griffiths be an important player this season/have a big role?
AFL - We'd hope so. We thought he made significant improvement last year and looking for him to take another step this year.
Shane Hall - Gday Damien! Is there Many niggling injuries amongst the team or is most of the boys doing full pre season training?
AFL - Most are doing a full pre-season. This time of year is full of niggles for most sides as we enter game playing scenarios.
Ben Smith - What are your thoughts on Connor menadue apparently his super quick?
AFL - Not only is Connor super quick, he also looks a quality player. He's a real student of the game, and we've been really impressed with his work rate.
Brad McGowan - Is it true you are trying to get Shaun Hampson to take Megan Gales name when they marry in the hope he is inspired to the great heights of Brendon?
AFL - Leave the jokes to the funny blokes!
Kayla Tobin - Will the boys stop kicking sideways and backwards and hand balling all the time this year ?? id like to not have so many heart attacks
AFL - Do you know who the number one backwards kicking side is? Hawthorn!
Dennis Pearce - Hi Damien, will Matt McDonough be playing forward and will he be in best 22??
AFL - He will be playing forward and has had a really good pre-season thus far. As for the best 22, that's in Matt's court.
Simon Ward - Out of the new recruits which is most likely to have a senior impact this year??
AFL - They've all been really impressive and all have shown signs that they at some stage will be pushing for selection.
Chris Michaels - Good luck for the year Dimma, just wondering where you see Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin spending most of their time this year? Is seeing them both playing across the half forward line at the same time a realistic chance with the addition of Taylor Hunt who can help free one of them up? Would be a nightmare for opposition defenders.
AFL - We'd like to see Dusty more through the midfield this year. Brett we thought had a great second half of the year playing more forward so will be similar this year.
Kelvin Turner - Good luck for the season,Dimma.Will we see a McKenzie/McBean forward duo in a couple of years?
AFL - Both are going well this pre-season and both have shown signs of improvement, be great to see how both perform in NAB Challenge if selected.
Nick McKerrow - Who in your eyes will be the best replacement at this stage to take Jake Kings spot as a small forward this year?
AFL - To the first one, we'd like to think we've recruited well over the last couple of years to fulfil this role. Those players will get an opportunity to cement a place from round one in the NAB Challenge.
Conrad McDonald - Hey Dimma - how is Ricky Petterd going this pre-season? Do you think you'll keep him around mid-fwd or do you have another role in mind?
AFL - Ricky's had a great pre-season, the strength of Ricky is his flexibility so he has to be prepared to play mid, back and forward.
Aaron - Daniel Will mcbean play a role this year and has he added any size #askthecoach
AFL - I'd be disappointed if he didn't. He's added significant size since he arrived at the club.
Paul Burge - Hey Dimma - What are your expectations for Ben Lennon in 2015? And who has impressed you the most with their improvement over the preseason?
AFL - We think Ben will be an improved player for us this year.

Waste of time.

Waste of time.
The problem with these public Q&As is the questions are heavily filtered and moderated before being passed through to Dimma, while Dimma can't say much more than the usual bland preseason cliches otherwise the footy 'journos' will be all over him chasing tomorrow's backpage headline.

Yep exactly
Im happy with his answers
Dont want a coach talking up rubbish. Just want to see action
-
Could have given a bit more though...
-
A good coach would use these things to drive his players.
Who will replace King as small forward? ****** has his nose in front at the moment and would play round 1 if it was tomorrow, ##### and %%%%% will need to go past him in the NAB cup games to grab the spot.

Don't agree. I thought his answer was better. Why should you tell the world what the team is doing?
Would rather him say nothing and let the selected team do the talking on the field. For too long we have talked the talk without walking the walk.
-
I'd be happy with him not doing it at all, but don't pee down our backs and tell us it's raining.
-
Wish someone asked are we a better side than last year

Q:- From Tigertragic967: Dimma I'm a big man but nonetheless a sensitive man. And this morning I woke up with welts all over my nether regions. Should I get this looked at? Also, what should I have for dinner tonight? Chicken or the beef?
A: From D.Hardwick:- Oh look, he's training well and we'd hope he'd be in the mix round one. Did I mention how versatile Petterd is around the ground? Pettard Pettard Pettard Pettard. Newman Pettard Pettard. I love lamp. I love table. Pettard.

Yes which is why it's a waste of everyone's time. All froth and bubble,

Dimma - We'd like to see Dusty more through the midfield this year. Brett we thought had a great second half of the year playing more forward so will be similar this year.
Probably the only thing interesting I got out of the Q&A. Dimma must have faith in Dusty's tank lasting longer this year and him learning to work both ways and defensively for Dusty to play more through the midfield this year.

As a guess they'll be in Dimma's mind - Titch, Gordon, Lloyd, Morris (training forward in the preseason from reports), McDonough & Butler. Still no one out of those who owns that role or shows signs of becoming an elite speedy small defensive and goalkicking forward. What Dimma would do to find another Cyril Rioli.

January 30, 2015 1:59 PM
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has provided an insight into the Tigers’ pre-season training and planning in a special stuff Q & A with afl.com.au. Here’s a snapshot of Hardwick’s thoughts on a variety of Yellow and Black topics . . .
Playing three talls in the forward line
“We'd like to think so, but the situation is we've got to pick the forward line that kicks the most goals. We'll have a look all options in the NAB Challenge.”
