let me preface by saying I want Dimma to hang around for the rebuild, he has it in him, the people around him needs to be reviewed.
I wish Kingsley was still here with the midfield we have now.
If Dimma chose to leave, I’d be knocking on Leppa’s door.
Buckley will always be a FIGJAM

You can only coach what you have, coaching like a millionaire with a two dollar side accept the reality. Remember the instructions to Tuck "see ball get ball"
Young, Sonsie, Clarke, Bauer, Gibcus, Cumberland, Rioli Jr. Yes it has been a couple of rough weeks for them. I like out spine list and believe we can build around that in the next 3 years. Looking forward to seeing Brown and Banks as well.
Dimma is a great coach.....but even great coaches make mistakes.
First day of preseason with a new S&C head, new assistant, 2 new and very high profile recruits, a plethora of inexperienced youngsters and a group of highly decorated champions who may have somewhat lost the desire, focus and passion necessary to reach the lofty highs they once did.
In short, a team in transition.....and for that very reason he should have been there on day 1!

So Matthew Lloyd claims maybe we should look at moving on Hardwick and pay half the amount we are paying Hardwick and get a development coach. The left over money then spent on more assistant coaches.
Sounds reasonable. But Hardwick has already proven he is a development coach. He coached a team that was labeled worse than Fitzroy to three flags.
Sometimes I wonder whether these people in the media actually think before they talk.

Lyold seriously he struggles to put a sentence together.
All the cockroaches are coming for us
I swear some people in the media just want to get rid of Hardwick from Tigerland purely because he's a proven triple Premiership coach.
They love a feeding frenzy & are smelling blood. It's round 7. We made finals just last year.
I made the mistake of wanting to oust Dimma back in 2016. Fortunately those in a better position to know stuck fat & made the wiser decision.
3 flags later..
Won't be falling into that same trap again.
In Dimma I trust.

Me either oldie.
We get rid of Hardwick the star and replace him with Donkey. No Thanks.
Had a look through the assistant coaches at each club last night. There’s not a lot of stand outs in my mind. Caracalla maybe one of the best of them, but I keep hearing he’s a quiet, corner of the room sort of guy that likes to focus on tactics more so than direct coaching and leading of a large group of people.
Can confirm the Cara comment, been that way for years.
I'm not as down on Buckley as everyone else, I think he'd be way better the second time around. Nigel Lappin has huge wraps on him, I'm inquisitive about what he wants the next five years to look like. Apparently very good tactically and very good one one with the kids.
I really like Buckley - but in the media only I think.
He's always been an articulate and clear and common sense person who doesn't dish out the cliches or talk in circles. Probably the most interesting coach (ex) to listen to I reckon. But I think he got wound up a bit tight as a coach.
I heard from several people inside of Cwood that he was absolutely obsessed, drove the players crazy with endless meetings and instructions. A few players have hinted as much as well.
Maybe he might have learnt from that. He's certainly more relaxed in the media, sense of humour comes through etc. But I'm not sure he's the sort of animal that can maintain that sort of perspective in a competitive environment as a head coach of an AFL team. Sort of see him as being overtly wedded to Cwood as well and dunno if he's capable of making the separation like most other coaches can.
not a rhetorical question,
can you name any who performed better post sacking/successioning?
there is a pretty long list of greats who went 2 clubs and 20 years too long.
I think you have to play the % on some things, and I suspect this is one.
I hope Ross Lyon becomes an exception this year.
if Dimma does coach somewhere else, Id be really really surprised if he has the energy and originality to scale the mountain again.
but I can see him doing it at Richmond.
yeah he sprung to mind, but
was he sacked?
poached doesn't count
I think stepping out of footy, and returning counts. which maybe Lethal did?
tigers probably are no.1 in the league for sacked senior coaches as assistants over the last decade?
Id certainly give Leppa another crack - think he'd be great at GCS
Malthouse at Collingwood after West Coast too. Went as well as he did at West Coast.
Agree with all that. Except Ross Lyon was better in the media.
