I completely agree. Countless numbers of coaches have been able to clear out the duds, but only a select few can develop those second tier players into A graders or develop a winning game plan that the entire team can follow and fewer still manage to do both and it's those coaches that win flags.
Dimma is currently in the first category with a good start in the game plan area.
Next year, finals or not, is the year that he must start turning the B graders into A graders.
Keep in mind we had 8 players play every game this year, Cotchin, Deledio, Foley, Houli, Martin, Nahas, Riewoldt and Vickery. Basically our current list of A graders or big improvers, so we weren't exactly unlucky with injuries.

unless you look at our defence and consider thursty and mcguane played a dozen games too many each. astbury and grimes played a dozen to few and moore missed the whole season
but on the plus side moores injury gave batchelor an opportunity

Great post mate. For once we haven't been sucked in by other clubs and the coaching merry go round
Yep, we've got to get it right sooner or later...............only been waiting over 30 years! :-\

I think in yr 2012 our goal needs to be to simply improve our interstate record, hopefully the crows win from this yr will be the kick start towards that. Alot of the interstate sides will be down the bottom again next yr and we must win a majority of these interstate trips as well as maintain our home record.
Carlton are a side that seems to have improved its interstate record in the past few years. Off memory they won in Adel, Perth, Syd and GC this yr and that has pushed them closer 2 being a contender. As much as I hate to say it, maybe we can learn something from Carlton
Lots of things need to go right.
- Another "Vickery" has to pop up (Post/Griff???)
- Good run of injuries
- Good start to the season, no long stretch of losses
- Back 6 stability with Grimes, Newman, Rance, Lids and Houli to build around. Moore (hope not) is gone!,,, maybe throw in Batchelor
- Foley to capitalise on his 22 games he played, big 2012, make it impossible for the opposition to mark Cotch, Martin and Foley
- King and Nahas can afford to go backwards
- A ruckman come to Tigerland, a good trade or two, next 3-4 kids come to Tiger land where 1 possibly 2 makes an impact.
- We can manage win one of our “sold off games”
- Find someone who can tag (other than Jackson)
- Talk about someone else who is burning down the house over the off season other than Cotin
- Luck of the Irish, player from left field who come in and can make an impact.
- Lots of off season praying.
then, just maybe we can sneak into the 8,
