    I would imagine a sunnier place.

    This is obviously done with the Tigers blessing.

    They can now try out kids and plan for the future and look for a new Coach who can carry a rebuild.

    Sad news, he was my favourite post loss "presser" coach of all time and this year was going to be a big one for me and him. Oh well

    Reiwoldt, Cotchin and tarrant to retire at the end of year.

    Dusty, Grimes and Lynch are slowing down.

    No first round draft pick this year after spending on Tarranto and Hopper.

    Hardwick is smart. That cliff os coming quick then some thought.

    Dusty will retire. He and Dimma are very close. He won’t hang around for a rebuild and who can blame him. He’s achieved everything and more.

    But I don’t think Dimma wants to rebuild. If he did he’d stay with Richmond. 
    Gold Coast have a decent list already. West Coast are a decade away.

    Good on him for choosing his time.  He goes out with a record that any would envy.  He rebuilt a club from rock bottom, kept the wolves at bay and came out a three time premiership coach.  And in the end the media never got him!  That is a brilliant career.

    For a guy that’s probably still on the outer, that’s a massive story for Morris to break. Richmond would be furious with that leak.

    But good on Hardwick to know when the time is up. He‘s done what Clarko should have done in 2019.

    Hang on just a minute people. Morris broke the story but we have heard nothing official from Tigers. 🤔

    I think we can back in a new lifestyle on the GC, for Dimma and his partner.

    They have a list that can play finals.

    Agree he is not about to rebuild a list.

    The only other realistic possibility is Port, also with a ready made list.

    Richmond coach Damien Hardwick, the man who guided the Tigers out of the wilderness to win three premierships in four years, is set to quit, The Age has confirmed.

    The Tigers will hold a press conference on Tuesday to make the announcement, which will be effective immediately.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
