Wait til the middle of next season when the Titans are flying and Michael Whiting is the sole journo at Dimma's weekly pressers

An alternative was that he stuck around for a few more mediocre years with us and then we had an unhappy split like Clarko at Hawthorn.

It was clear that his time with us was coming to an end.

Couldn’t give a stuff what he does now.

Yep and the bitching and griping from the chicken littles around here for those years would want me to do a Sonsie on them

Chucky did you know there's actually a Chicken Little emoticon here? :chickenlittle I thought it was fish sucking on a dummy but anyway...use it wisely my friend. :shh

Thanks I didn’t know that was there

Just another example of why Balmey is so important and good for our Club.  :clapping

Yep a gentleman and always willing to have a chat about anything

Now without wanting to sound like a smart behind, you should have asked him about the soft cap and how we work it and about how we structure our assistant coaches. You might then get a better understanding as to why we don't pay overs. They way je explains it is forst rate.  :shh

Never met the legend , can only try to understand him from his book. With him and Benny running the show I have no doubt our coaching decision and anything else for that matter is in the correct hands.
It’s a shame these two  aren’t running the country they’d get my vote hands down

Pathetic cheap shot Frankie. Not sure why you saw the need TBBH. I wasn't having a go at you but you true to form had to taking a shot?

So just so I'm clear if Balmey gave you the similar responses that I posted would his be "idiotic"?

Don't answer that

From Barrett's 'Sliding Doors' column:

IF ...
Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper happened to roll their eyes upon hearing Dimma Hardwick saying: "I likened it to waking up on Christmas Day and walking out to a set of brand new toys" upon this week publicly accepting the Suns' six-year coaching contract

THEN ...
that would've been understandable and justified. Taranto and Hopper were Dimma's "new toys" this time last year, when he convinced them to leave GWS and head to the Tigers.
