When will Bernie go !!

Well, there's certainly an air of "Mission Accomplished" by some here....

I don't get that at all personally. For me though, life isn't all about the destination. You gots to enjoy the ride.
 
Looks like Bernie will have his favourite choccies to choose from for a September surprise

Hampson, meanwhile, has been on the Tigers' long-term injury list since March with a lingering back injury and is set to play his first minutes for the season against Geelong's VFL team on Saturday.

Steve Morris is also set to play in Saturday morning's VFL match against Geelong should he get through a fitness test later in the week.


On the plus side Concs and Griff doing OK too.

Much more fun when the driver goes direct and fast rather than slow, backwards and sideways.

I think its more "all the blokes who repeated everything was *smile*ed for a year, were unequivocally wrong"

The jury is still out for another 6-7 weeks I would have thought.

Not for those who said Dimma would be sacked by round 12 and were actively barracking for that outcome. Verdict is in!!

Jury is still out on the season though, agreed.

I really doubt that there would be anyone on here that wanted us to lose but yes I put my hand up for wanted him gone. Just like Im hoping he will lead us to a flag but still big doubts about that!

I would have thought that too. Actually, I do think it.

If we lose to Carlton, which I hope we do, we are just two or three more losses away from removing the head coach.

With so much heat ready to be applied, we could have a new coach by Easter.
 

ah, the retiree comes out to the heavy lifting :hihi as seems to be his function on PRE.

i stand by it, it was early in the season and clearly I wouldn't endorse a change right now.

who knows, which cara as head coach we might've beaten GWS and Fremantle and sitting first or second.

ever thought of that, oh geek squad?

such a bunch of near-sighted cardigan-wearers ;)

As the ball movement coach, and given you and your cohorts reckon Dimma is only there to cut the oranges after Balme sent him overseas in the pre season, perhaps Caracalla is the one who pulled the handbrake in those games.

Ever though of that, oh learned one?

tobes, you've been behind the game ever since you started bagging a list with coleman medallists and AA gods. i suspect it's because you wouldn't know a game plan if it fell into your lap. hence your limited perspective.

Oh dear. I forgot you have intimate knowledge of what goes on in the coach's box, what with all your afl experience and all. How can any of us mere supporters possibly understand!

BTW what does your inside man at the AFL think of Dimma now? You know, your imaginary friend?
 
for all those flower-sniffers who see 2017 thus far as some kind of justification to throw spittle all over this thread, i ask you this simple question:

how do you explain the career best form of B Elllis, B Houli, D Astbury, S Grigg, N Vlastuin. all of them mature players who experienced downturns over the last three years. yes, all at the same time.

i'll give you a hint:

it ain't divine intervention.

ask yourselves whether they spontaneously sparked, along with Chimp, Tross and Dusty, or whether there was a more earthly reason.

such as ... a drastic change in philosophy and system, perhaps?

more tackles. less kicks.

more playing on. less time in possession.

more turnovers. more risk.

hardwick has been there eight years. and you all think he's had a coaching epiphany right now, coinciding with the arrival of several key assistants?

bright-siders, you are all chronically deluded. some of you know a thing or two about footy, and I have time for you, but most of you know very little. just the way it is!

so let's enjoy september, as I think we can cause some damage. good times :)
