    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
