Confirmed: Dimma re-signed for two years (RFC site)

[WilliamPowell]

Lol the right track.

Surely they are smart enough to put a clause in to a proven finals failure  coach about performance.

Details for the members please.

Seriously, Dooks are you that naive to think they haven't?

I get that it doesn't suit a purpose to assume they haven't but it is more likely than unlikely that they have got performance clauses. Actually I'd back it in

And do you really think a board is going to tell us the full details of an employment contract? No board is going to do that and nor should they

I don't  agree with the extension don't believe it was necessary, certainly not 2 years but give them a little bit of credit that all "i"s are dotted and "t"s are crossed

And before anyone suggest i accept mediocrity, i don't. But a decisions been made, let the games begin

You don't know any of that. Are you that naive to think they have?

You'd back it in others wouldn't.  The club has a history (recent) of stunning decisions,  you can give them the benefit of the doubt. Not me.

A decision has been made let's 'all move on'. Yeah.

You don't accept mediocrity but you put yourself in a certain perceived position by being indirect and certainly posting in that direction. At minimum an each way bet is the view of a confused fan.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

The decisions been made. I don't agree with it personally but in the end the club saw fit to do it and we have to back their judgement.

I now look at the positive in this.

With all the results not sitting squarely on the coaches shoulders, the players now have the blow torch pointed directly at them.

In the end, it's our players that capitulated in the last 3 elimination finals. I hope that with more maturity, the addition of some class and the enthusiasm of youth, the playing group can finally put themselves in a position to make the 8 and ultimately top 4.

It would have been an easy excuse to just blame the coach for everything and let the players hide behind the hysteria of "sack the coach" if they started playing poorly. It's good to see that they don't now have that excuse.

Firstly, you are right i don't know but either do you. Cuts both ways but your attitude seems to be no matter they haven't /couldn't / wouldn't

 My gut feel is they have. Thats my choice

And where did i say "let's move on". I didn't so dont imply that i did

Decision has been made, we can't change it so we are stuck with it.

So as I said let the games  begin and let's see whether this decision bites, is a milestone or a stroke of genius

Its going to be fun on so many levels 

[WA Tiger]

Well let's hope he can do what Clarkson has done at the Hawks!

[tony_montana]

Good move

If anyone thinks the club did not put performance clauses into this extension, they are seriously deluded.

No it's the apparent acceptance of mediocrity (as demonstrated by refusing to slag off players, coaches, board members, employees, the club in a futile attempt to enact change) by the RCGG who are deluded.

[Petey]

I think everyone is deluded. The RCGG are deluded, the club is deluded and so are the annoying dark lords with NFI about anything other than being negative. Everyones deluded.

Face it and move on...you deluded pricks

Why would anyone expect the club to have  put a clause in the contract, when they just gave him two years off of the back of zero achievements?

I think it's a valid concern of Dooks.

It's not as tho the club have a winning reputation both in terms of management and Laing the game.

Hardwicks occupation is stuffn ridiculous and any questioning is fair.

From the Age ...

One captain who might be feeling the heat more than any other is Richmond's Trent Cotchin given the fact that his side has now lost three consecutive elimination finals, and his colours have been lowered in the last two of those.

There's no doubting the huge expectations surrounding the Tigers now that their list appears to be ready to go for a serious tilt at the top four.

But Richmond went some way to alleviating some of that pressure on Wednesday with coach Damien Hardwick signing a new two-year contract extension with the club.

Cotchin was rapt with the Richmond hierarchy's vote of confidence in Hardwick who has guided the Tigers to three finals series in a row for the first time since 1975.

"He's [Hardwick] obviously been amazing in the development of our group. He came in at a really challenging time when we had a really young list, made some big changes," Cotchin said.

"But from the start he's been really down the line with his plan and what was required for him to get the club to the best position to contend and make finals and we feel as though he's done a fantastic job."

[YellowandBlackBlood]

All hail the Emperor of the RCGG - Trent Cotchin!

What would he know? He wouldn't know what is happening in the inner sanctum. Or would he?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I think Gary Pert and Collingwood nailed the contract extension-
* talked up the coach
* said the days of long term contracts were gone
* intimated there was a get out clause in Bucks contract

1 year extension.
Coach supported in public, on notice behind the scenes.

Learn Richmond.
