like I said, the Gary Ablett of goal post shifting. Either you didn't read my post, are incapable of comprehending it, or are just taking the p!ss. It's all in keeping though so no surprises.

You can whinge about 'goal post shifting' as much as you like, but you still haven't explicitly laid out what you were 'right' about.

What did you get right?

We all know you're a nutbag.

Speak for yourself please, no attempts at bullying tactics. I have my own views on who and who isn't on a reasonably even mental keel.

you can read right? consensus pass mark? ergo, Dimma can coach? Club were right to back their man? etc etc? Its basic stuff.

So... we win a final and that vindicates the Hardwick extension.

Far, far too simplistic. This playing group needed a new game plan. It came from outside the club.

I'd say the likes of Harry and Lamby have shown far greater insight in their identification of the problems and possible solutions at Punt Rd than your bone headed "she's right, Dimma'll come good".

You really want kudos for being a fanboi?

far too simplistic for you because it means you're wrong, hence the GA of GPS. For the overwhelming majority, she's a pretty basic KPI. PRE, the media, everywhere, over and over again:, 'he's gotta win a final'.

So why does a finals win entitle you to gloat?

Shouldn't Harry and Lamby be gloating, since they were the ones who correctly identified both problem and solution?

Hint - it didn't require Dimma to suddenly become a coaching God.

If the club brings him back in 2018 on anything less than a PF berth the board needs a total cleanout.

had a quick look and found this, it was said by pretty much everyone at some point before or during the season, in different ways. I don't see this as any big gotcha or anything BTW, its just the way it was and is, 'he's gotta win a final'. Heard it on Fox all year, heard it on here all year.

Even when we are wrong...

We are insightful!

Have you been reading today's debate?

Already said Dimma gets next year.

You're not bringing up anything new.

Cute, but you ain't making any sense.

How am I wrong?

Dimma got his PF berth so he survives.

Again - what did you get right that you need to unload a bucketload of whinge on this thread :hihi

(you whinge very, very well)

Huh? That's a bit of a crock imo. 2016 was a poor performance. Other than that the Tigers have gradually improved. When he took over the Tiges we were a bottom 2 side. Gradually our performances improved to our first top 8 finish in 2013, first time in 12 years. We have remained in the top 8 for 3 of the next 4 years, the only real blemish was in 2016. I a m a firm believer that, in most cases, you have to experience a relatively lengthy period at that top half and finals experience before you are a genuine chance of the ultimate success. I just don't agree that Dimma has been poor for 3 of the last 4 years. Good coaches continually evolve the playing list and game plan and that's exactly what Hardwick has done. That's not to say there hasn;t been frustration fo rall of us along the way. But that is normal pprocess imo.

Yep. The claim he was a terrible coach, has no idea about modern football, pulls the handbrake blah blah blah ignores that we made finals in 2013-2015 winning 15, 12 and 15 games in the process.

"Oh, but we had a top 4 list", they say.

Well, if a coach that was that bad, that was that out of touch with modern football, was shackling the players every step of the way, was still able to take the team to those numbers of wins,then this list wasn't just top 4, it was one of the best of the modern era. It doesn't stack up. Compare this years team to that which played finals in 2015. Chalk and cheese.

not whinging, hanging *smile* is the correct term. I reckon I'm making myself pretty clear. But once you're done, you try and deflect, confuse and insult, its your modus operandi.

Ok - got it.

We win a QF in spectacular style and you jump on here to "hang *smile*" on folks.

Knock yourself out :hihi
 
Need to keep Dimma on for another 3 year term sign him up any time , stabiluty and young very good players cant get a game right now on a regular basis .
move on lets get some flags over the next 3 years with Dimma in charge ..
