When will Bernie go !!

Don't think this thread is relevant anymore.

Clearly one person is not to blame for last years aberration. Everyone at the club last yr was responsible.....and everyone at the club this yr is responsible for what may be a year to remember.

Agree and also various responses from various players, coaches and officials slowly give a piece of the changes. Not all Bernied fault.

Eg player conditioning. Forget the player (maybe Prestia or Rance) mntioned they have an olympic person at the club that has helped make a lot of improvement.
 
Yes all the changes were made while the head coach sat there and just nodded his head.............what a load of crap

Really guys stop embarrassing yourselves.

Working yourself into a lather because in your heart of hearts you know Dmma underperformed is pretty transparent to the rest of us.

Plastering us in hyperbole and sputum as a replacement for logic and common sense in trying to argue 15 win lists in 2013 and 2015 are vastly inferior to a 15 win list in 2017 doesn't pass the pub test.

The RFC realised what the problem was in 2016 and addressed it. Balmey has set the tone. Leppa has provided the forward line (acknowledged by Dimma) Blake has set the game plan ( confirmed by Blake) the team was overcoached (agreed by Dimma) and we have changed tack to embrace emotion (acknowledged by nearly everyone that matters) and for that reason we are getting more out of our list.

So happy for you to go back and yell at your respective walls but really what a sad sad bunch you are.

What a strange post

Not one person has argued there hasn't been change nor that the new people are a key part of that change. The key difference is that to say it all happened despite Dimma and around him without him being a major part of it simply defies all logic of how organisations work, including football clubs.

Like our football team on the field its teams who succeed and there are leaders of teams. The head coach is the key off field leader
 
For what its worth for those that didn't see a recent interview with Dimma on Talking footy, click link below. He is on at the 3rd part about 22:30 min mark of the episode.

He addresses some of the changes

Spot on sin. Strangeness, logic defying, denying what is self evident truth about leadership. But it won't convince the half dozen or so Malcolm Roberts.
 
And lets not forget that Hardwick was humble enough to accept the changes and embrace them.
 
It's Sunday morning and I'm just leaving church.

I have a vision of about a dozen grown men sitting around in their seventies with drool running down their chins and bibs on. There still discussing the Hardwick coaching conundrum from way back when. Who was right means little at this point as the Tigers have gone on to be the dominant force of that generation, haveing spent 30 plus years in the wilderness.

Based on what I'm hearing in the conversation, the 5 premierships means little.

What's really important is who was right, was it Hardwick or Leppracella? Was it Balmey or Benny?

Two young nurses enter the room, going unnoticed they switch on the Tv just in time to see the Tigers winning the 2040 grand final. Not one of the men looks up, the argument goes on.

Life can be owe so short , sometimes its important to just enjoy the moment and by the way wipe that dribble of your chin.

I've had to many tinnies celebrating, can no longer lift my hand that far, n besides that's supposed to be the nurses job.
 
Well the man at the top cops all the crap when things are going bad but few of the credits when things go well. To me this year is a combination of collective pre season thought, every thing working, a relatively injury free year particularly to key players. However Hardwick has to take a fair share of the kudos'. Living in Sydney my swans friends are feral today that Longmire didn't learn from Hardwick how to play Geelong and why didn't he shut down Henderson as Hardwick did. To me it seems that the collective wisdom of the coaching staff, the team selection approach learned from the late season defeat at KP and the selection group put players in to counter Henderson in particular - Towner. Longmire simply didn't have similar players as the Swans line up lacks pace.

No problem with a disagreement.
I don't believe you need to call someone an idiot to get your point across.
Rather than report it I post about it.
Each to their own!

Who called you an idiot? Again, over-sensitive victim stuff.

Many think themselves idiots for reading lambs posts. (I'm not one of them, the mutton is often on the money)
 
Interesting that the recruiting staff had to tell the coaches what the strengths of the list were.
