So hang on he hasn't told the players yet but Tom Morris announced it. 

Who leaked the info to him. 

I'm guessing there are some phone calls going on tonight 

I believe Dimma told it to Bevo, and Bevo is in a Whatspp group with Tom Morris.

 

pretty poor if the players are finding this out via a tweet

I wonder if he'll have a bevo response. I mean he should be able to tell the players himself.

Meanwhile Michael Voss is rapt because suddenly the attention is off him.

I think you mean truth 189227.

Sounds like he’d be stepping down after this w/e and not seeing out the season. He owes the Tigs nothing after delivering 3 flags.

Really?

If he is experiencing personal issues and needs to get away from football for his well being then ok.

But if not, surely he owes them the commitment he made at the start of this season - to see the season out, to honour is contract.

Remember he must have been the driver of going after Torranto and Hopper and his pitch prusumably was we are still in the premiership window. Otherwise why tie up so much salary cap space for two mid twenties players on long term contracts?

How does a new coach rebuild?

Inappropriate much?

The affair with the Richmond staffer was inappropriate. Blokes not only a bully and a thug, but a deceitful one at that. Good riddance to him.

It’s so out of the blue that I gotta wonder if he jumped or was pushed? Something tells me there’s a fair bit more to this story than meets the eye. 

I lost respect for Hardwick after the 2000 GF but you have to give him kudos for three Flags at Richmond, I won’t miss his press conferences or him.!!

Huge news. Two of the best coaches in the modern era departing within a week of each other.

Maybe they are going to become umpires 😋


Maybe tom broke it because he wants some credibility back or because he is a Melbourne supporter and wanted some revenge from 2000

Mid season? Nice one Dimma... Sore loser syndrome methinks.

Or he's made his decision he doesn't have the drive to see through a rebuild so wants to do the best thing by the club to start preparing for their new coach now. I respect what he's achieved and that he has chosen to step down when he has earned the right to stay on given his success at Richmond.

Has anyone considered that he may have a health issue that requires his full attention?

People who want to hate don't consider things like that

Deserves the respect of every footy fan, three flags should have/ could have been four. 

As a coach sure. As a person, nope sorry you dont get respect just because you win stuff. 

 

Interesting two multiple flag winning coaches, both of whom brought their teams up from the mire to sustained success coaching now struggling sides, leave in a matter of days. 
Is the fall from grace too much to manage??

If they are in any way related I can only imagine it's because Hardwick has seen the toll coaching has taken on Clarko and seen himself struggling in similar ways.

But I don't think it's a fall from grace situation.

Hardwick has been consistent in saying he'd coach Richmond until he felt he wasn't the right person to take the group forward. That's pragmatic and a win for both parties.

Really he's bailing out now so he doesn't have a Clarko 2019-2021 stretch of futility on his resume.

A minimum of 5 months off, maybe even 23 months off, then he can walk in fresh to a new job.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
