Strange game to be trying to have a snide dig against those that don't rate Hardwick.

32 scores to 20? really? has dimma got a remote control ball?

didnt think it was so much a snide dig, as a sarcastic excavation.

A 5 goal win against a young team of battlers at home. Think you are better off being a smart arse when we beat a team of substance.

ive tried that. doesnt seem to have much effect

its a matrix where Dimma can only have a slight chance of not being hopeless 25% of the time.

lose to a sh!t side, hes hopeless; beat a sh!t side, hes hopeless; lose to a good side, hes hopeless; beat a good side,

brisbane beat essendon at home a fortnight ago.

None of those guys are in the class of Cotchin, Rance, Reiwoldt and Martin. Not sure our future is that great.
They might be one day.

Riewoldt hardly had a stellar start to his career and rance was called benny hill !!

We have some serious young talent coming through imo, best I've seen in a long time

Fair enough. Has been a long time though since we have unearthed a genuine gun.
 
Would love fly as our head coach
Every time I've heard him talk I've been impressed
And Seems to be getting great results with some limited players in the 2's as well.

Hardwick is getting great results with some limited players in the 1s!

Dominated inside 50s but goal kicking cost us a better result. Been a common theme this year. Of course some will blame Dimma for that too.

Actually when Dimma has put his favourite limited players in this year, Morris, Batch, Hunt we are 0 and 3.

Lepacella moved most if not all of the drones out ( only for Dimma to smuggle them in occasionally) . And if our drones are now Lambert and Miles we are doing OK.

BTW I heard the twos won by 100 points. Pity our depth is so poor.
 
Today was really poor from the team. At half time I thought we were going to lose to the wooden spooners but at least we didn't.
Can't knock the fact we have ten wins.
Next week is a far greater test.
 
Training load?

Focus on the last block and momentum into September?

The last two weeks have been abysmal.

seems a possibility. we were so flat last week. today was more about strength than run which lends weight to your theory.
still a long way out though
 
Not going anywhere with Bernie as head coach. All we are doing is losing valuable time while dusty rance cotch and jack are in their prime.

Tick tock.

Could be right, however the boys in the magoos are playing as good as they have all year.

They are a big chance to win the next 5 to make 10 in a row

I am definitely an optimistic supporter however as reminded by non RFC friends we have played Blues and Lions twice, equating to 4 wins of the 10...

Still having a better year than I thought we would in February so I'm not complaining, just hope we can really pick up some form going into the backend of the season, position ourselves well for finals and give ourselves a good crack at winning a few.. or more :)

Must be. Too obvious from last week's loss.

i'm not convinced that's a legitimate excuse. if we have increased our training load with September in mind, than most/all of our rivals would be doing the same thing.
 
I see we had 66 clangers yesterday, and lead the league with an average of 58 per game. I am surprised we win so many games with such a high level of fundamental flaws.

To my eye, we have too many players that generate unforced turnovers. Can anyone access that stat?
Or goals conceded from unforced turnovers?


My view is that this is the key reason we can't make the leap to being a top 4 team.
 
The high pressure, high intensity breakneck speed we try and play will always throw up clangers. It would be interesting to see the oppositions clanger counts against us and whether they have more in matches against us.

Expect the Saints who could do a thing wrong if they tried.
