Still shaking my head that you think you know more about the game and what makes a good coach than Grant Thomas!

Actually no I'm not. It doesn't surprise me at all. :help

Anyways, its grand final week. More important things to focus on than the coaching merits of Grant Thomas vs Baron Samedi.

Go Blues Tigers!
 
One St Kilda coach mentioned used to work for me for a few years. A bigger numpty i have never met in my entire life.

I would put little to no fail in a word he uttered

And yet that same St Kilda coach has players who played under him, one of whom is a modern day great, say he was the the biggest influence on his career and is still very close to him!
 
Forget about Grant Thomas.

Dimma's peers voted him the best coach in the league this season and they know more about coaching than all of PRE's geniuses put together.

Damien Hardwick is alright.

Why?

According to Tobes, he comes straight from the Grant Thomas school of excellence :hihi :hihi :hihi

Good enough for me.

Later Tobes :cutelaugh
 
There is one undeniable fact and that is Dimma is the coach of a Grand final team in 2017.

Everyone who called for his sacking ( including yours truly) was wrong. Let's all just admit it and get on with supporting our great footy club on Saturday.

GO TIGERS !!

why?
we should be debating whether to extend his contract by 4 or 6 years. imagine the confidence boost if we did it before Saturday.

I've been watching the footy show since it started.
It's a Great breeding ground for up and coming coaches

Shirley you jest? 4 or 6 years is a bit of a reach
2 years + 1 year option is enough for any coach

I am a realist. I don't for a second think that this grand final appearance is purely down to the assistants and Balmey.

Dimma has had a very good year.

What concerns me, and what many don't understand, is that it wasn't instinctive.

He was facing the sack and the club told him things needed to change.

This year, Hardwick by his own admission has been humbled.

Say we win on Saturday. *smile*ing fantastic - that's what we're all here for.

I want more flags. A dynasty.

The foundation hasn't been built by the head coach. It's been built for him.

To me, that isn't ideal. If Hardwick's instincts aren't suited to today's game, what is he there for?

What we are seeing this year is a very good list finally being allowed to play.

Forgive me, but I take a very dim view on the head coach taking eight years to "learn" a thing or two.

Win or lose, I have reservations and I stand by them.

Plenty of other things to enjoy - an incredible list sprinkled with stars and quirky characters, a massive supporter base, home ground advantage.

We can win on Saturday and it'll be glorious.

Sadly, as always you're looking for one person to blame for any and all faults and failings when it's always has been and always will be about the sum total of the collective. Read n try to comprehend the Marchfly article n you may one day finally understand.

Well said Masochist. Clubs win/lose, never as a result of one person or even two or three for that matter.

I think you'll find I am invariably replying to others, FB.

That's fine, don't mind defending my position.

PRE is filled with sooks looking to square up for some trifle I've long forgotten.
