Look forward to you making a point that stands up on its own merit rather than belittling the person who disagree's with you.

Im used to white boards. Try not to ...
I have often heard it argued that reality is not an absolute, that each individual has his own perception of reality. The implication is that because each of us perceives the world through our own eyes, reality itself changes from person to person.The implication is that because each of us perceives the world through our own eyes, reality itself changes from person to person.While it’s true that everyone perceives reality differently, reality could care less about our perceptions. Reality does not change to adapt to our viewpoints; reality is what is.
Reality is fact.
Reality is truth.
Reality, however, is not always a known, which is where perception of reality comes in. While reality is a fixed factor in the equation of life, perception of reality is a variable.This is why it is so important to learn to differentiate between a principle and an opinion. The most significant aspect of a principle is that it can neither be created nor altered. Thus, a principle is the essence of reality. It is what it is, and it’s up to us to discover it.The problem arises when people refuse to accept the reality that principles can only be discovered, and instead choose to believe they can create their own principles. Which means they believe they can create their own reality, and that’s a belief that can lead to disastrous consequences.
SUGGESTED: Knocking Down Your Mental Blocks
There are an infinite number of natural laws to be discovered, but, fortunately, you don’t have to have a detailed understanding of every one of them to achieve your goals. However, there is one law with which you must be totally familiar and which you must unfailingly use as a guide for your actions.The law I am referring to is the ultimate, immutable law of the universe, the foundation of reality itself: Actions have consequences. Although I believe most of us intellectually understand the inherent truth of this principle, firsthand observation has convinced me that very few people give it more than a passing thought as they go about their daily lives.
Why would people ignore such an all-powerful, immutable principle?
Because truth can often be harsh, and, as human beings, we quite naturally gravitate toward less pain and more pleasure.
We simply do not like our little self-delusive worlds to be upset by such a trivial matter as truth. We don’t worry about the consequences we may have to deal with tomorrow; we just want to feel good today.However, we only succeed in deluding ourselves when we engage in such shallow thinking. The reality is that one must be willing to experience the discomfort often associated with truth if his objective is to achieve positive, long-term results.Another major obstacle to an accurate perception of reality is what I like to refer to as the Paradigm Restriction.
We are all confined not only to the planet on which we live, but, metaphorically speaking, we reside within our own mental worlds. It is difficult to comprehend ideas and circumstances we are not accustomed to hearing and seeing within the invisible parameters that surround our lives.Thus, one of the causes of our differing perceptions of truth is that we all start from our own set of assumptions. This is precisely the reason why the serious seeker of truth must learn to question everything and be willing to give up cherished notions, even if it means suffering discomfort.
The best antidote for the Paradigm Restriction is an open mind. This requires rejection of custom and tradition as a basis of fact, and, in its place, acceptance of logic and reason. To get on the right track in life requires that you learn to correctly perceive reality and have the courage to accept it.
Which bits do you read?
Well said Baloo & written Ninjaaaaaa. ( love your reads).
What happened, what was said by who & whom, whether it's true or not is just opinion & here say .
At the end of the day he has us in PF with a real chance.
I would have taken a finals berth before the season started and finals win. Tick & tick.
How we finished off the last 2 of the 3 games with no passion, no heart, desire, absolutely nothing , I had us bottom 4. ( with Dimma gone as I had enough ).What do I know but being a passionate Tiger supporter like many of us here are with opinions & theories.
We are here now.
For me now a GF berth is what we ALL want. We are so close.
Whether it is the year of the Tiger who knows but we are bloody sweeping everything coming our way like a Tsunami.
Whether it was Dimma, Blake, Justin,Truck , Balmey, Gale or Peggy WHO really cares.
Winning sure beats losing.

I get it Baron: it's just a different "it"Baron Samedi said:
You and others say he has been "shown the way" and has little choice but to tow the line. I just think this is nonsense. When new people come into an organisation and there is an appetite for change then that change happens because a leadership team embraces it. Change can't be successful without support from the top and in the case of a footy club that inevitably includes the head coach.
The difference between you and I is that I strongly believe we should be applauding Dimma for embracing and being a part of the change not casting him as some lame duck dummy being dragged along.
As for next year I have already given my view that we need to evolve and that the next iteration of our team will include some of the impressive young players we have around the club. I don't think we will play ultra small forward lines going forward. But whatever the evolution is then we should have trust that the team around the footy part of our club can get it right, and that includes Dimma as a leader but also Balme and the Assisitant coaches.
Good organisations thrive because everyone is invested. To suggest the major cog in that team is not invested and not a leader in the process cannot be true imo.

How good will it be to be singing the song while Trent and Dima lift the holy grail over their heads!
In my post you quoted above I wrote, “To his credit Hardwick has been smart enough to go along with these many changes; not of his making.” And in a follow up post I also wrote, “Hardwick has rightly bought into these substantial changes.”Sintiger said:
For you to write, “To think that improvement happens despite the coach, that the change has happened around him whilst he hasn't changed himself is amazing in its naivety imo. It is just so obvious that Dimma is part of the change and that he is invested in it” tells me you are in such a rush to put your view across by any means you don’t read a post that you are quoting very well. Or you just cherry pick bits and pieces that you think justifies your point of view.
To state the obvious and to repeat myself again, Hardwick has bought into the many changes in the footy department making him part of those changes. And why wouldn’t he; after all his 2016 season failure demanded changes, the supporters and members demanded changes and ultimately the CEO and board saw that changes were needed.
Hardwick knows which side of his bread is buttered on and I dare say he knows how fortunate he is to still be head coach. I’m many things but naive is not one of them!
based on some of the bright-eyed posts in here you'd think Dimma was the best first-year coach going around.

The list hasn't changed that much Toby, the main difference being our engine room in 2016 was directed to slow it down and maintain possession thus throttling the natural instincts out of our best players.
This year Hardwick to his credit has let the assistants do their jobs, something he has been reluctant to do in past seasons.
The tactical nous of Carracalla, Leppitch and co have been unleashed combined with Hardwicks man management skills have our club playing to their strengths and firing on all 8 cylinders with a turbocharger.

It has changed heaps.
Here is the list of players who played senior footy in 2015.
https://afltables.com/afl/stats/2015.html#14
Plenty of changes. Not only in terms of players who are no longer on the list (I count 11, so just under 30%), but also players who were regular senior players then who aren't now.
The 2015 EF side had 10 players in it who aren't best 22 this year.
To say the list hasn't changed that much is yet more rubbish I'm afraid and ignores the fact that list changes since then have had a big bearing on where we find ourselves now compared to then (but certainly not the sole reason).

Pish posh 15 players on the list in 2015 played last Friday plus we had Deledio, Newman Foley and we still had Shorty, CEllis and Miles and Maric still gave half a yelp.
Our ouside run was green but we still had a good list which showed. It won 15 games despite the Dimma handicap.
