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

[Raoul Duke]

We should ask essendon where they found a spare 50m for their payouts.   1.3m lol.  We can donate to the Fantastic Fund.

Just another fund for the members to tip in their hard earned into so we can right the wrongs of the RFC.

I'd throw a few $$$ into the FHOF if we had one.

"We think Damien Hardwick’s a strong coach (now) for our footy club, and we think he’ll be a strong coach into the future as well . . .  He’ll get better and better. I believe he has all the attributes required to be a premiership coach . . . (although) that doesn’t guarantee anything.  In terms of Damien’s ability to coach, he’s a guy that has a clear sense of what he wants to see on the football field.  And I think he carries himself with a great purpose and a great confidence . . . We’ve got a shared vision of the future, and what that looks like, and we believe Damien’s a very important part of that.  It’s a shared responsibility, and that means everyone has to pull their weight and do their bit.”

Why are we paying 650k per season for a coach who is not ready to coach for a premiership?

[Harry]

Because inside these 4 walls he's regarded highly and is a fantastic person who'll learn from it and the players love him and gives us unity and solidarity inside these 4 walls genuine man who has the right credentials to be our next premiership coach and shows strong character and integrity just needs to improve but has buy in from everyone at the club as everyone is pulling in the same direction because the foundations have been set for the 4 walls and we just feel we need cream on top and even though it's very complicated and the review is ongoing we are confident damien is the right man to lead from the front and on several occasions he's shown he has all the traits of a premiership coach and inside our 4 walls we are delighted that he will be the coach of the Richmond Football Club up until the end of 2018 at least.

Shared approach is all good but becomes difficult when the members part of this approach are simply not good enough.

Hardwick and assistant coaches.

Essendon are far more profitable than us

[Harry]

Yeah 50 times more.  Must be all that drug money.

Don't think we've ever really had the billionaire & multi-millionaire sugar daddies that Essendon, Carlton, Hawthorn, Melbourne & Collingwood have always had....never been popular among the establishment and the so-called "big-end of town"....

[Harry]

Well Caro skinned Russo, Khoury and Gatto.

[Diocletian]

....and John Ilhan carked it just as he was about to splash the cash...

We had Bondy. 

[Diocletian]

I said "big-end of town", not "dead-end of town"....

[Eat_em_Alive]

Don't need the benefit of hindsight to realize that signing dickead for 2 years was a mistake

[Diocletian]

Yep - don't remember too many people not wanting the club to at least wait and see how the season panned out first....unfortunately his employers were among those few idiots who didn't....
