Open Mike - Robert DiPierdomenico (2010) 

Utter legend of Australia 🦘🙏👍🙌

Great memories of dippers playing days in 1985 saw him play against Doug Hawkins in a preliminary final which was a great contest and play against Andrew Demetrio in the same year and won that contest easily

Saw him in Perth on the Northbridge cafe strip one Saturday night a few years ago. Everyone knew him & he was as extroverted as ever. Huge, charismatic personality.

A Legend, even if you don't Barrack for Hawthorn!!

It's nice what Dipper said about Crimmo right at the end of this. I'll admit I got a bit emotional about that! God bless you Crimmo, good on yer Dipper and long live the Hawthorn footy club!!

The best and gutsiest footballer at Hawthorn for a time with the worst haircut and ‘tash’ at Hawthorn for a time.

Dipper, what a Legend. Made the absolute most of his talents and career, for sure.

Met dipper on the gold coast as a 13 year old, absolute legend!

Legend.

Dipper what a bloke!...and what a tough player!...I saw him at the MCG one day I saw him at the ground...I seen him and said hi dipper!..…and from about 20 feet away he yelled out hi mate!....what a nice bloke!....he's one bloke I wish I had shaken he's hand...what a legend!....

Met Dipper at the Merriwagga Pub couple years ago and had a Great time with a Great bloke

What a great player for Hawthorn.

Legend!

Imagine standing under a high ball with Gary Ablett charging in from behind telling you he's gunna clean you up. That's balls!

Great interview thanks for up loading

Loved watching Dipper at his best, I thought the tax question was unnecessary and took the gloss off this interview.

jeans was a sergeant in victoria police and possibly a freemason were the umpires the same

11:10 just wouldn’t happen these days, we’ll ask darcy Moore he’s just hospitalised two players in two weeks

Great stuff! I had a very brief exchange with him on Twitter and he's a gentleman.

Mike was fairly blunt about their thuggery past when interviewing hit men like Matthews and Balme and even criticised Gary Pert for his dirty play but no mention of Dipper ending Curly Austin's career, taking out Robbie Flower in his last game or the many others he's taken out over the years. Lethal Lee must be laughing his head off they gave Dipper a brownlow and not him. To be fair though he could have easily won the Norm Smith in 87 despite being in a losing team. Fantastic performance considering Johnno almost broke his jaw in the first quarter

Thug

Yeah Mike always goes for a negative for every player on these programs

Yes a legend

You showed em Dipper.

Good man Dipper.

how could the dipper song not be mentioned

Well done

Dipper!

O my

the day kermit got cleaned up walked around dazed for 1/2hr then came back on which inspired the Hawks to come from behind and Win the day mitve been a grandfinal ?

BLOKE

Tough skilled and the racism he refers to was good for his well being. We all give stick to people as right of passage and if you can take it and give it you are accepted . Well Dipper was more than accepted. He was a tough competitor .

Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Met him down in Hobart in 2015 at the Salamanca markets at a local cafe. Tried to cut the line in front of me. Total flog.

Good on ya Dippa, Anglo Saxons.
