Dimma says a lot of feel good stuff at pressers, I take it with a grain of Chris Scott Brand Salt. He left the door open for Rance when most of us knew that was never going to happen.
Could be a motivational thing for the players concerned as well, all I know is Dimma is a magician so I don't question his methods.
The door may still be ajar though. If Stack plays the VFL GF and does well, and we get an injury or two that keeps a small forward or small back out for the Grand Final, Stack may well get a gig.
