A couple of days ago while the forum was down but did anyone else watch Hutchy's overdramatics on Footy Classifield on Monday night?
Hutchy wanted Richmond/Hardwick fined $10-20k for Dimma telling Jack "no media" after the game. Hutchy called it "a disgrace" and Hardwick should realise he has an obligation to the footy public and the media broadcaster's (FOX) rights
. Hardwick has apologised afterwards but Hutchy still was carrying on.
Caro said Hardwick is no media hater and probably wanted to keep a lid on things. Thomas said Hardwick shouldn't have done it but he is probably trying to avoid Jack saying anything in the moment that puts focus on one individual and Dimma wants to keep the focus on building a team-centred culture.
On a separate topic, Caro said our media manager Judith Donnelly is stepping down and will be replaced by Simon Matthews (who arrives from Essendon I believe).
