When will Bernie go !!

While i think Dimma has learnt from past mistakes and done extremely well at this point in the season, i would agree that it is not the time to be patting him on the back for a job well done. Clearly it is also not the time for known antagonists to continue putting knives into his back.
 
And he is an AA coach when his players do not know how to close out or shut down a game at the critical moment?

Come on, that's a fluff piece giving him this ranking.

And, has that interim ranking been assigned in the light of his obvious involvement in constructing a list that is deficient in tall timber?

and what he did to make changes for this season.
Nah! Gotta be absolute " I call bull *smile* " interview on SEN.
Everybody knows all our improvement n adjustments are purely due to Leppacella - Balmey taking over the circus. Dimma's just a plastic figurehead the board keeps up in the coaches box windscreen like a little bobble head toy or noddy dog.
 
What's the point of a mid-season AA nomination?
I thought the season went for 24 weeks and the finals were played in September.
 
There you go.

I do not disagree with you Tiger Maschocist.

And you did not disagree with me.

Why sub optimise?

Torpedo the *smile*!

Damn. Was just poking a bit of fun at all the Dimma haters when I trimmed a little bit of tigermikes comment about the radio interview.
How come all of a sudden we're not disagreeing with one another when we weren't even having a conversation?

Don't see any real value or method in torpedoing Hardwick. Would much rather torpedo the drafters n traders who have delivered so much mediocrity into the club over many years n left us with a list that still has a few gaping holes in it.
 
SuperCoach Ken Hinkley's stocks fall again. It's like a rollercoaster supporting this guy!!! Look forward to Lamby and Asian Tet's take.
 
Caracellas game plan. Preseasons dictate the game style you play as this is when you train and rehearse it. The fact that Hardwick was on study leave says it all and it's a bit rich him taking credit for it. Hardwick preseasons usually lead to 3-7 starts to the season.

OK, some logic. So who was responsible for the run of losses after the first 5 wins? Dimma took control back is the compatible theory right? Then the others wrested it back for the last 2 wins?

We're lucky our coaching team have any time to focus on the opposition at all IMO with all this in-fighting.

Still Caracella. But Hardwicks comments re turning the game dour pre Adelaide game was of concern. Will be interesting what Balme and the club do if another club come sniffing fir Blake.
 
I can't believe Bernie had the hide to accept the mid season AA accolades.

Leppacella must be ropeable.
 
Yeah Dimma's gotta go. Half way through the season and we're only top 4. Pathetic. Fair dinkum.

Agree. Don't need him seeing lepacella has them playing better football.

Yep. Amazing that the coaches box hasn't spontaneously combusted yet given the incredible tension between Bernie and the rest.

I know, if we didn't know better I'm sure people could assume its due to personal thoughts and feelings towards coaches
 
My son was having a mineral water with a current starting 22 player on the weekend.

He said Dimma's going great. Very much in charge, very much consistent, positive message that the players are 100% behind.

still, he only works for him. what would he know?

plus its third hand.

so, he could have said that Dimmas got the handbrake on and leppacella are on leave having workplace bullying nervous breakdowns?

way too straightforward and logical et. Don't buy it. Next thing you'll be saying Neil Armstrong was an astronaut.

yeah, I thought that. Dimma probably gave all the players sub-cutaneous, slow release Rhoypnol before they left on their weekend off, so on Saturday night, at 21st's all across the country, they'de all just tell people what they wanted to hear?
