Lots of people earn a lot more than Dimma, do a lot worse things and never have to read about it. It’s no ones business but his and his families

Some need to step out of pure world view or perhaps remove their purity ring.
Divorces happen all the time.
How does it effect your life unless you have an unfulfilled life and live vicariously through other people and their issues.

Sorry WP
The “it’s none of our business” card is rubbish

He’s earning a small fortune to perform a role which involves being in the public eye .. this is known for every coach when they take the role

Secondly , he played the Mrs Hardwick card more than any other coach has ever played the Mrs ..... card

So he deserves the scrutiny

I get your point Damo

But he gets paid to coach the football ckub, our club. That is his role, that is what he should be scrutinised for.

If it impacts on his ability to do his job then I'd expect the questions to be asked

But he isn't the first coach to go through a  marriage breakdown. He won't be the last

Just this pre-seaon there were 2 others and neither of them has had the media obsess like they have with Dimma.

The footy media should talk footy, this personal stuff is rubbish.  Gutter journalism which can be saved for the daily mail.

There are differences .. the other two coaches didn’t play the “Mrs Buckley” and “Mrs Goodwin” card at every opportunity. They also weren’t involved with a club staffer whilst married.

I would think of the three coaches, one stands out to cop the most scrutiny.

I agree with Damo but it has reached a point where everyone needs to now move on an focus on the footy.
It’s not Hollywood
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Hutchy said he doubts we can make top 4 as we only played 7 new/different players on the weekend compared to the 2017 GF side - Aarts, Baker, Balta, Bolton, Eggy, Lynch & Pickett. Our success has prevented the next generation coming through.

Compared us to the Swans & Dogs who have 16 new/different players in their current 22 since the 2016 GF.

Well you see hutchy when your team is winning flags you have more continuity in your 22 as opposed to when your team is down the bottom of the ladder or missing finals and you’re experimenting more or blooding youth.....

The zone is dead......long live the zone. sHocking has killed it. The AFL anti Richmond attitude strikes again.
