Hardwick quits

[Downtown06]

Nothing but respect for this man.

Hope the rest of you lot give him nothing less…..

I give this bloke my life for what he did for us

 

[Bojangles17]

who are the new coach candidates? im necked so I can only think of 3

leppa
buckley
shaun griggs

Plus newy ,,, I think we will talk with Buckley

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Is this true or bullshit

 

[cairo tiger]

surprised but not. I am a bit speechless. thanks dimma for everything, I have potted you a few times.

 

[jetbhag]

Does this mean we get another pick in the mid season draft???

 

[Spacedog]

So what are the circumstances behind this decision, as at face value its seems a reckless decision leaving the playing group and club high and dry

If he’s lost the passion for coaching and the club, which it sounds like he has, then it’s pointless for him to be there. It’s sort of a selfless move to be able to realise that and step down and also probably give up some money.

 

[biaseddustyfan]

reckon it got stale when shocking brought in the stand rule

I s**t you not we have left another premiership on the table because of shocking/afl

can't wait to hear dimmer go all in about that bullshit in a book now that he can say whatever he wants

 

[beaver's army]

A massive thank you to Dimma. You brought us all so much joy in the last 10+ years. I will never forget 2017 and how good it felt seeing you raise the cup.

Forever grateful

 

[thedreamisreal]

Thanks for the memories Dimma.

Maybe we could unleash the Giesch and win the flag this year. 3/4 time huddles at the punt road end. * me we’d be a juggernaut

 

[GN272]

DIMMA - I can't thank you any more for what you've done at the RFC and wish you the very best for the future.

No
No

[Nostradumbass]

I'm actually shocked.... Had a feeling he might go this year but not halfway through the season

Buckley for me right now. Don’t like him but he is the most astute coach there is on the market. Knows what it takes to coach a big club.

 

[Big Unit 30]

Gutted.
The best years of following the Tiges were under his watch. I’ll never feel the high of anything like the 17 flag again in my life.
Good luck Dimma … even if you end up at West Coast or elsewhere

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

It’s time someone said it to him.

Dimma, you’ll always be a Richmond man.

Thank you for everything!

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Geez I hope not

 

[Daka]

I always thought he would quit or Richmond come to an agreement that it's in the best interest of the club to mutually part ways.
But i must admit I'm bit suprised it's this early.

 

[Ctl]

Dissapointing, sell the dream to Taranto and Hopper then leave. This should've been decided in the offseason, but i don't blame dimma

 

[Masotiger]

Morris running with burnout being the main factor

If he is cooked mentally and continues to do the job it would be absolutely detrimental to his mental health

At the end of the day you need to be your own advocate and good on Hardwick for recognising that it’s not worth it

Also, probably realises he doesn't have the quality of assistants and on-field leaders to make coaching fun again. Instead it appeared to be a hard slog for him. Love him and at least it was his call in the end.

 

[Burning bright]

Look this might sound a bit selfish but I would love for him to coach another 9 games bring in the caretaker probably Rutten for that period under his wing as the main man.

Thank you for all your service to the club you have left a large chapter in our clubs history book in one of the most storied football clubs in the world let alone Australia

the Hardwick dynasty at the mighty Richmond Football club.

Stay for Cotchins 300th, depart together

Pies were a basket case until McRae arrived.
