You media are clutching at straws, Dimma was just being passionate, and he took full accountability for the loss. Get over yourself. Lot of people commended Dimma for his comments. Nothing sooky about it. Also that comment around the big 3 teams having it easy is a massive generalisation. Lots of variables other than "home ground". Most of those guys play each other... twice..

[@user-rk6nn8gh9i]

He's a massive sook and always had been.

[@Geromi87]

Only the media wimps would think Dimma was smoking.. Noone else does

[@alexcanak]

The home ground is much less of a factor as the lack of travel. Non Melbourne teams travel every second week.

[@peterfreeman1585]

That home Ground is usually the MCG. 'Away' games are usually 'quasi-Home' games for Melbourne based clubs. A sweet little advantage.

[@txgc771]

Interstate teams also get 12 genuine home field games Vic teams might get 3

Wtf this isn’t sooking? Isn’t it just honest feedback, the exact honest insight the media have been demand / asking for?! He’s not complaining about home or away games, he’s saying they need to grow up to win the games they should, home or away! Worst take of the year

[@LDSports933]

[@gustaaf1892]

He is being paid very big money and he has a group of players that will only get better when you consider the young academy talent they have drafted in recent years and will again in this year's draft. The Gold Coast will become a real Premiership threat on the back of that, so Dimma won't be leaving before his contract is up.

[@worker-wf2em]

Lol

[@gazncoll]

In all the years John Longmire has been in Sydney no-one has heard him speak that way publicly. Bad language is everywhere, it's not required in press conferences Dimma and is not professional, so get over yourself. Swear at the players and when you 're in a public presser .. act like a professional.

[@iankearns774]

Settle petal, everyone is different. Some people wear their heart on their sleeve. I take it you have never had a rocket from a coach in the huddle? You would really be calling for your safe space if you think Dimmas swearing was bad.

[@jainmelbourne]

100% agree. Tthe new LA Lakers coach did the same thing last week. And this was only the press conference used to announce he got the job. I’m prepared to give Dimma some wiggle room as after a bad result the emotions are high, but its unnecessary. You aren’t at the pub with your mates

[@stavio12]

He's got a point, interstate teams have it way more harder than Victorians. Before you jump down my throat I'm a Victorian supporting a Victorian team so that is one thing I do acknowledge that they have to travel way more than us, doesn't make it easy for them.

Understand the travel argument from interstate teams but Melbourne teams literally have no home ground advantages. Goes in swings and roundabouts. 15 games at the G this year for Richmond this year means playing Carlton, Esswndon Collingwood twice at your "home ground" 😂

[@jackrobinson3901]

Richmond played 14 games at the MCG in 2022, 13 in 2023 and have 13 in 2024……not sure how that makes an average of 15 which Cornes repeatedly mentioned. If you are going to quote a stat repeatedly it’s not a bad idea to get it right…..just sayin.

[@CHUCKALUCKALUCKA]

It's a round up; if they played finals in those years it would be 15 at the G (not to mention a few more at Marvel each year). His broader point is about Dimma not having to travel - do you really get hung up on whether the precise average is quoted accurately in lieu of addressing the point? Just sayin.

CCJ is absolutely useless. One of the big trade errors Rawlings has made. I doubt he plays another game for North. Teakle has shown more in a couple of games for North than CCJ has in his entire time at North. He'll be delisted when his contract expires.

[@brendonwatt6098]

Oath he is a sook. Stopped winning at Richmond, dropped a game by a point with 5 seconds left then ups and quits two days later, he was burnt out, cooked snags 1000 different ways, blah blah blah, went and boinked his young fit root in exotic places for 4 months then was all of a sudden ready to coach a fresh list on a very nice paycheck, in the place where he hooked up with his young root after backdooring his wife. Haven’t people noticed that when they had that success in 17-20 is when leppa rutten Kingsley and fly were all there and then when they were all gone, aka 2021, they fell to crap. Hardwick is just blessed with having the job of head coach, but he is not the genius premiership coach he was made out to be. Hasn’t won as Richmond or Gold Coast coach since sooking about going there when they beat gws in like round 9 2021 🤣 Clutching at straws? It’s all factual from literally a decade and half of examples from this sook. I swear and make any sailor blush but I wouldn’t be doing it on tv at a press conference as an afl coach. And plenty of other coaches who have been in the role almost as long don’t, so there’s no excuse from him. It was clear as day he had every intention on saying it and him saying excuse it doesn’t excuse it. People only liked him due to success in that time, outside that time, and as a person, there’s not a whole lot, or much of anything, to like about Damien Hardwick.

As a Hawthorn man, I think Hardwick is not a sook. He wears his heart on his sleeve and puts a 100% into his job. The man has been involved in probably 6 or 7 premiership wins with, is it Port Adelaide? Essendon, Hawthorn and Richmond. To knock this guy who came out of a sunny holiday and semi-retirement to help the Suns is idiotic. I'm more concerned that Dimma looks after himself because he's been at the top end of everything for a long time. You can't knock his methods. Give the man some respect. He's up there with Leigh Matthews and Clarko. Probably one of the three best coaches in the last 40 years. He was a great player too. What the hell is the matter with some of you ppl on Nine?
