Same thoughts. We can see the Dimma system still working well at both those clubs, so I reckon once Mini is officially new coach he gets to do as he wants and throw away Dimma's old processing book in the bin and start afresh.
There's potential that could happen. There's also potential that Mini is so biased towards the current gamestyle he can't see a way to beat it. (oh to be a fly on the wall in
their interviews to see what they truly think!).
You know what I think beats the Dimma game style? Talent and desire.
Geelong won a GF last year. They don't play the Dimma style - but they had a lot of talent. They also had the desire to work hard enough to win.
Collingwood have some very good talent, performing at the upper end of the scale in terms of those individuals.
GWS similiar. Full of talented players, but also now have role players doing the dirty work the club didn't have back in 2019.
You know what we don't have a lot of? Elite players. Game busting, match turning players. Players who are hungry to win.
I don't care what game style we have, or who the coach is. Until we fix the list, we're a long way off.
I reckon we're going to struggle to get some Free Agents signing with us, or entice people in via trade, until our coach is proven.
Would you rather take the same money and play for Clarko or Dimma or Mini/Yze?
