Dimma so full of excuses, actions speak louder than words, if he just stood by these 2 mantra's when appointed,
When its your turn to go you better go and
If you cant kick you wont get a game the likes of grigg, hampson, chaplin, pettard, lonergan gone now, thomas hard at it but slow as a treacle and has poor skills, wouldn't have been recruited or getting regular games.....
Then their was trying dusty at half back, newy fwd, jack half fwd.....
The game plan god knows what it is....
Seriously how can some supporters/posters say give him a chance or cant sack coaches like old Richmond wtf we've given him 5 years, he cant coach, he has no systems, cant develope, keeps playing favourites, i luv my club joined up as a little tacker now a platinum member (30 years+) not sure how long i can put up with this rubbish....For the posters who keep defending him, well if u had a builder build ur house and they stuffed it up would u get them to build ur next house? thats what u need to ask urself....
Do i think he'll coach next year yep
but we need to start sounding out prospective coaches, dimma will not take us to the promised land, surely most realise this....We've given him his chance unfortunately he has failed, Dany Daly and Mark 'not chocco' Williams need to go too....
To many players especially some of the senior players have had a bloody good ride, even when newy, king and Edwards were having shockers they were never dropped...Same goes for grigg & chaplin....
How Miles was not upgraded prior to the season is as baffling as hardwick saying 'we are a better side than last year'...
Make no mistakes about this we have the better list but they (dees) have the better coach, the better game plan, the better systems.
I am worried cause the dogs, dees and GC that we all beat last year have beaten us this year, they will surpass us FULLY in 1-2 years unless Hardwick does a tommy hafey "The one thing Tommy stood for as a coach" ...The words relentless and ruthless come to mind....
How bout this beauty at his presser today "Dees came to play and we didnt"
Hmmm straight from hardwicks mouth during the week "There would be an emphasis on employing the traits, such as Hafey's determination to get the best out of himself, when the team runs out against the Demons" and "We've put special emphasis on that this week and we hope our boys respect him and bring that out in the game." ...Guess the players didn't follow the plan but hey this seems to be an occurring problem with no hard decisions being made at the selection table week in, week out....
As a supporter im guttered enough of the bullsh!t words i want ACTION....
Where is the spread, geez Melbourne run, spread just opened us up....As a supporter i could see that the team needed speed long time ago and other teams were recruiting speed but not dimma, also the Richmond game plan a thread i started 3 years ago shows our game style is just plain rubbish....And another thing that has irked me for some years is our tendency to simply bomb into our forward 50 how can no one see this in the coaches box and if they can why is it still happening....
I want to see Todd Elton, Helbig, Batch, Arnot, Dea and O'Hanlon given extended games thats been afforded to some of the under performing senior players....Gordon has one average game dropped....Its typical Dimma as like when Arnot got dropped after giving his all against the Hawks, thought there were worse than him but hey he's a youngster easy to drop....
If we as a club go by hafey's mantra Grigg and a few of his team mates would never get a game at Richmond "Hafey's determination to get the best out of himself"...To many players just float through their careers, if u want that go play somewhere else, time for Hardwick to show his hand, to show what he is made off, come on Dimma be ruthless, be relentless!!!
