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

Big Tone seems man enough to me.

Try this on for size. off the top of my head Hinkley inherited; Boak, Hartlett, Cornes, Carlile, Gray, Schulz, Trengove, Broadbent ,Westhoff ,Jonas ,Wingard , Ebert

Now what do you think of hinkley  inheriting these players. And all these blokes apart from wingard were there in 2011 so don't even try

Some of these Port players mentioned are A grade like our ones mentioned earlier (Boak, Hartlett, Gray and Wingard) but the others are solid citizens at best. Which we also had on our list when Hardwick took over (Richo, Tuck, Foley, Newman, Bowden) I'd argue that our list of A graders and these guys are better than the lilts you just put up.
So IMO Port were in much more trouble than we were when Hinkley took over then when Hardwick took over.
The fact Hardwick even played players like Nason tells me he had NFI when he took over. That dope wouldn't get a game at Balwyn.
I'm so sick of all the excuses. Dimma has had long enough and needs to put up or pizz off. Making finals is great but IMO not even close to a pass mark and not even close to him deserving another 2 years to the year he has in front of him.
I'd offer him a new contract in October 2016 if and when he delivered us a minimum of a top 4 spot and at least a finals win. Solid KPI's that are there for all to see.
NO MORE EXCUSES

and even that is lenient.

Richmond sells papers. That's why news about Collingwood re-signing Buckley ends up being a story bagging us    .


Hardwick the one left in limbo

Richmond remain the only club without their senior coach secured beyond this season after Collingwood finalised Nathan Buckley’s tenure to the end of 2017.

The Tigers have yet to officially announce the future of their coach of the past six years Damien Hardwick, whose current contract expires at the end of this season.

While Hardwick sweats on any new deal, four other clubs with coaches coming out of contract at the end of 2016 have extended those deals since Christmas.

While the coaches at 17 clubs remain contractually tied for at least another two seasons, last Thursday night’s NAB Challenge calamity has been perceived by the industry as the start of the cracks within Richmond beginning to show.

The Tigers are preparing answers for the AFL as to why Hardwick played a period in the final quarter against Port Adelaide with just 15 players on the field.

Richmond’s unprofessional conduct over the debacle has been questioned not only by the league and rival clubs, but by their own supporters.

Richmond extends Hardwick's contract for two more years

Damien Hardwick will remain Richmond coach until at least the end of 2018

Richmond has extended Damien Hardwick’s coaching contract for a further two years.

Hardwick, who was in the final year of his current deal with the Club, will now continue as the Tigers’ coach until the end of the 2018 season.

Richmond President, Peggy O’Neal said the Board was pleased to extend Hardwick’s contract on the eve of the 2016 home-and-away season.

“In making this decision the Board considered what Damien has accomplished during his tenure, including the fact he has taken the team to three consecutive finals series,” O’Neal said.

“We also considered whether he was the right man to take us further and, after thorough analysis and discussion, the unanimous view was that Damien is the right man to coach our Club.

“Importantly, Damien has the character and values we want in someone who leads our players. The players also have great respect for their coach and his approach to getting the best out of them.

“Stability and unity have been critical to this Club’s recent improvement and the Board’s view was that a two-year contract extension was both deserved and prudent.”

Hardwick said he is proud to continue as senior coach of the Richmond Football Club, and eager to commence the 2016 AFL season.

“It has always been an honour to coach the Richmond Football Club and the support that the Board provides not just myself, but the entire Club, is never taken for granted,” Hardwick said.

Oh yeah. 

Stuffin idiots

[Eat_em_Alive]

Yayyyyyyyyyy  how exciting 


 

[potsclub]

Surely they arent stupid enough to not put a clause into his contract.
Also it isnt hare to pay a contract off either.
With that being said we are on the right track until now. Lets see how the first 6 rounds pan out.  Could be a good thing.

[🏅Dooks]

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.

stuffing idiots.

Gonna bite hard when Collingwood show us up and the next 2-3 games come hard. Yeah. Give him another 2 years. Just so we can say 5 (or near 5) finals in 5 years

Success   

[torch]

Premature decision!

[potsclub]

Far out.... still going

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Can't wait for Richmond to play Collingwood in round two.

Yeah. So when we most likely lose and we tell you that of course we were bound to lose, you can play the 'you guys hate Richmond' Card as a plan B.

If you are going to be the provocateur and then play the victim you have to be accountable.

But you'll just hit the 'report' button because you can hide behind it

Sort of like when someone gets punched in the face its their own fault sorta vibe?
