Oh no, anything but the downward spiral!
True. You could put triple premiership coaches who are under 60 in that category too IMHO.
Im just a footy fan and don't even barrack for GC, but even I can see that's fairly straightforward.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not barracking for dimma, I appreciate what he achieved with us, but now he's gone I hope he crashes and burns and we see some 'Dimma Dream turns into a Nightmare' headlines, but I find this manufactured outrage a bit odd, its like people feel like they've missed out on a good old fashioned Tiger coach knifing. Time was up at the Tiges, move on.

How did Peggy and Brendon compromise.
All involved were adults, no issues of grooming or exploiting a work place relationship with a club employee or the like. While they probably all understood the sadness it caused for those closely connected, nothing to see as far as the football club as employer was concerned.

Remember that thing before 2017, where he said he had to go back and speak to the recruiters and remind himself what everyone's strengths were, and that he was going to get everyone to play to their strengths in 2017.
So, you can use external scouting reports - sure. But he wouldn't have seen many GCS players in training, nor at VFL level. Yet he's sure 80% of the list is there? I agree it's likely all Sheedy style marketing, but you couldn't have formed that much of an opinion of 48ish players, in just a few weeks.
Remember, the day he re-signed, Caro said he's going to GC17. She'd had sources say as much. Now, we all hate her and her secret sources. But she's been fairly on the money with this one the whole way through. I've got no doubts in my mind that her intel has been good.
We paid a coach to have a holiday so he can prep for another side. Not going to regurgitate all the above I've said before.
But you can actually separate the being grateful for the 3 premierships, whilst still saying what he's done here is crap.
I thought his presser was nervous & a bit forced. Reverted to a few old tropes. Does he really have the passion he once did? Watch this space I reckon.
Look at it that we paid him a bonus for winning us three flags. I would offer Newman a free six month holiday too if he delivers us three flags. Don't let it stress you out G.
Who will Dimi choose as assistants?
Perhaps Jeff Gieschen, Terry Wallace, Mark Neeld.
Neeld for the GIFs alone.

Can picture Dimma in a presser pre Rfc match up:
We (Suns) Love playing at Marvel !!!
Then a wide grin.
Wonder where that (his appointment) leaves Bobble and 2 Phones.
I'm not stressed at all - despite what it might seem.
I'm 100% more eager to find out who is going to be our coach, what list decisions they're going to make, and how we can get some more picks in the draft.
I don't think we've got many pieces for our next premiership on our list right now, so I'm all for November haha.
Too obvious. He's on uncharted waters with that club and that state, so we can say 'good luck'....coz that's all it really is.
I said it earlier.....Malcolm Blight type scenario here for me.
He's picked a side he's expecting will be a quick build. But they don't have a great culture. I think it's going to be harder than he expected.
Let's see if he has the patience, or he really just wanted a drive by.
He actually wanted Cholly back after his impressive season last year, but he's gone downhill. Interesting to see what Dimma does with both.
The whole footy world has seen 14 years of Dimma already. They’ve watched the docos & read the books. He’s a well traveled path. The Suns have seen much of it too.
It’s going to be hard for him to be fresh, energised & authentic. He’s reinvented himself once already so I suppose he could do it again but he’s older & already climbed the mountains. Team AFL desperately want a messiah & will give him everything he needs to make them successful. I just hope there’s few tricks left in his showbag cause I *smile* hate that plastic organisation.

Blighty coached the Aints from Gold Coke, does this mean Dimma will coach Gold Coke from Elwood?
He could give a little baggy of seawater to each player, tell them to imagine its a wave, a big Burleigh heads barrel that they're all gunna surf to a flag? Could work.
