What do we think Dimma was alluding to but wouldn’t elaborate on regarding our forwards vs Carltank’s defenders.
When probed, he suggested the reporters go back and watch the tape.
Illegal tactics like scragging or holding off the ball?
interesting stuff
 
I’d say he was alluding to the fact that it seemed like every time the ball went into Carlton’s forward line the umpires picked a free kick. Some were there, others were very soft.

Yet when the same thing happened in our forward line we got nothing. Nada. Bubkis.

Zero free kicks in our forward line for the entire game.

The AFL was desperate for their opening Thursday night Match to be a tight contest. Not content with having ruined last year‘s Grand Final, Richmond opened up like a steam train and threatened to derail another spectacle.

Gill had a tough week. A man can only take so much.

I'd be having a chat with the umps during the week, they were rubbish last night & we all know they love the pies.

I thought it was a combination of being pissed off about some of the frees we gave away and that some of those frees were bulls***.

Or that he expected his big forwards Tom and Jack to win more contests.
Throughout the presser he repeated that we didnt win the 50-50s that we normally would. That we got beaten around the ground.
He couldnt be diplomatic to say that our fellas should have towelled up those good ordinary types in Waitering and Liam Jam.

Or to view it another way. Does he focus on the impiring? Or look to his players to win each contest again those useless hack *smiles*.
