FWIW I believe that an ex player shouldn't coach at the club where they played as their first Senior gig..Only one I can think of was Roos at Sydney, and even then he was out of the game four yrs before he started as an assistant at the swans. We've seen "favorite sons" fail so many times..eg Hird, Vossy etc..
Would love the pies to get Maxwell, Lockyer or Burns to do the job. Would mean more years in the wilderness for them..

In Dimma's tenure he's had a Brownlow medalist, potentially a 2 time Brownlow runner up, one of the best full backs of all time and a 2 time Coleman Medalist for 0 finals wins. We now are positioned with no young gun defender coming through, no key forward coming through and no outstanding young mid coming through. Scary times

Cornes said Tigers getting ahead of themselves.
When asked, Dimma replied "Cornes is paid to make *smile* comments" or something like that.
Wasn't deflection at all. Just slapped Cornes back after getting fed up with Cornes' persistent sniping. It was the only highlight of the weekend worth remembering imo
Ok here are a few explanations -gutfull said:
1) drinking ones own bath water
2) thinking the game is won in your head before the bounce of the ball
3) picking T. Hunt to play

It's one of those throwaway cliches. Why would anyone get upset about what Cornes says? Hardwick could have handled it better. I can't see how the Tigers could be getting ahead of themselves. It's not like we've been playing great footy over the year. I don't think we've put a game of 4 quarters together this year.
You don't think the penny's dropped yet re: appointing a former pies player as coach doesn't work for them?Tigaman said:
I've seen Dimma's presser a few times now on the various footy shows.
The reaction to Kane Cornes is interesting. Was Dimma simply embarrassed with the teams performance, which lead to anger over predictable comments from snipers like Cornes, or was there more to it? Dimma's comment 'i'd love to see kane' wasn't a physical threat, as Dimma is too savvy for that. It sounded like a hint that Kane didn't know what he was talking about and that something else had happened.
I'm still livid about the loss. Every time we are presented with an opportunity we seemingly go to water. Having said that, there is usually a continuum of effort under Dimma at the very least. I believe something happened to rock morale. It may have been a personal issue within the club. These things happen.
What matters now is Brisbane. If we can lose by ten goals, we can stomp throats too.
