Passionate Dimma says "couldn't care less what people outside our club think!"

[wayne]

I get the feeling Newman wasn't forced out... he probably had a 5 year contract in front of him, personally delivered by a pleading Dimma.

[sdc01]

maybe he was imagining he was Clarko and Newy was Hodge.....

Pls merge with Sack Dimma thread

Hmmm. Chrissy Newman.

Spoken about in glowing terms by the coach in his end of year speech.

Personally mentioned and thanked by duel All Australian and JD medalist Alex Rance.

Credited with creating a new tradition of pride in the jumper that players call their armour.

One of the few that actually stood up in the final.

Wins the award for biggest whipping boy on OER in season 2015

Go figure.

RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick has declared he "couldn't care less what people outside our club think" and he won't be driven by proving outsiders wrong in 2016.

HAHAHAHA

Following the Tigers' third straight elimination final defeat, Hardwick conceded the club would come under pressure to notch a breakthrough finals win next season.

Conceeded? HAHAHAHAHAHA

In a passionate best and fairest speech on Tuesday night, he said the Tigers should be inspired by retiring former captain Chris Newman in their pursuit of success, telling his players they must grab their opportunity, because "one day it won’t be there".

Wow.He's like Vince Lombardi.

"We won’t be driven by proving outsiders wrong … to be totally honest I couldn’t care less what people outside our club think," Hardwick said at the Jack Dyer Medal count.
"The rest of the football world wants to point the finger at us and tell us we aren’t up to it.
"I ask you, would Chris Newman curl up in a corner and feel sorry for himself and say it’s all too hard? Not on your life. And there is no way this club will.

"As our song says, we will fight and fight and win. I’m up for the fight, the players are up for the fight … as is the whole club."

Can someone please get me a bucket so I can spew up all that narcissism

Hardwick said he drew inspiration from Australian golfer Jason Day, who "finished top 10 in a major championship nine times before he won a major".
"These are lessons in persistence and putting yourself in a position to contend," he said.
"We must continue to do exactly that as a club. That in itself takes an enormous amount of work."
"Hard work and commitment are the only answers."

Well, I feel confident now.




Out of contract at the end of next season, he told the players "the past matters zero" and they needed to take every opportunity to make themselves better players.
"You must grab the opportunity because as Chris Newman will tell you, one day it won’t be there," he said.

LMATFO @ Newman the Martyr.
Hardwick is a loser.

He sounds like Danny Frawley, when he was stranded on the island, Loser.

And Dimma cares even less what the "expert" keyboard warriors on this site think. You know - all you guys (and girls) who have never coached an elite team or played sport at an elite level.  Just saying'.

I would go so far to say he doesn't care at all

[Yeahright]

In reality it just shows how poor we have been in the past. Our young players have no real hero's within the team to admire and strive to be like. One thing Newy did do was play for the jumper, which he deserves credit for, and I think that was what Dimma was trying to promote.

Talk for yourself. Not sure how many games dogged actually played but me and him forged somewhat of an elite career
