Dimma's presser today:

Richmond sits two points behind eighth-placed St Kilda after last week's thrilling win over Brisbane and take on a dangerous Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval before matches against Hawthorn and Essendon in the run home.
The finals race lingers as a possible distraction, but Hardwick doesn't expect any issues keeping his side focused on the immediate task at hand.
"It's pretty easy, that's what we do," he said.
"We stick firmly to what we can control and that's this week's game versus Port Adelaide.
"Our prep is firmly on them and the way they play the game."
The Tigers may still need to win their remaining three games against Port Adelaide (away), Hawthorn and Essendon to secure an eighth-place finish or better.
“We just have to be perfect this week. What happens next? we’re not too worried,” Hardwick said.
“We’re going to focus on this week as best we can. What we do know is that our best football is good enough to beat any team… bring the intention, we know most games will fall our way.
