Dimma quits [merged]

[Diocletian]

Were Cameron & Campbell even at Richmond at any point during his tenure? Pretty sure they weren't?

[PremiershipClock]

Cameron was on the panel that hired him

Yeah they were bother here for a little while when Dimma coached.

Graig Cameron is the worst List Manager in the history of football. Wasn't surprised we improved after he left. Helmut

Dunno if that's a typo in the first sentence there or not but either way it sounds about right.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

It is a typo but I won't edit it....

I hope to god it’s just gcs imploding and they fired dew to lure Hardwick (think Essendon and Rutten with trying to get clarkson) and it doesn’t eventuate

Purely speculative but there’s love between Dew and Hardwick right? Like I’m assuming he won’t take it out of respect?

The whole thing could well be premeditated. Although I’m not overly concerned either way. I think it was time for us to part ways with Dimma regardless.

Dimma clearly doesn’t like anything too old or slow. Jumps ship at first sign of aging.

Likes them young and vibrant with a tinge of carrot. 

I think he’ll be at Gold Coast next season. 

I like this post so apt. Hope you don't mind if i use it.

ps. In what world Hutchy would we offer Hinkley 4 years to convince him to coach us when the Club has said we're after an untried senior coach?!

I agree with this part, unless maybe the Melbourne fishbowl had something to do with it and the relatively low attention he'll get in GC is a factor.

Otherwise I believe he was trying to stay competitive, traded our picks for ready made players to address our biggest deficiency in 2022, and honestly burn out creeps up fast and quietly I know from my own experience as a worker and manager.

Absolutely looks premeditated- I’m hearing similar from those that would know

Gold Coast expected to offer Damien Hardwick five-year deal

Gold Coast are a step closer to confirming Damien Hardwick as their next coach, with club chief executive Mark Evans planning to jump on a plane to talk to Hardwick on his European vacation.

A senior club source, who was not authorised to speak publicly on the issue, has confirmed to The Scoop that the club reached out to Hardwick via phone last week to enquire if the three-time premiership coach at Richmond was interested in continuing his senior coaching career at the Suns.

Following that conversation, the club devised a clandestine plan to send a senior representative to Europe to meet Hardwick face to face.

A senior industry source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Hardwick was expected to be offered a five-year contract.

I called out Dimmas BS from day one. He's as fake as they come. Yes was a great coach for us, but as a man, a fake and a fraud. Not that I give a 💩, he helped gain us 3 cups
