Haven't heard the comment or the context it was given in.

Pure guess on my behalf but maybe Dimma was simply being honest. He knows we're no where near good enough to go all out attack n win a game by ten goals, so in an effort to keep some rational perspective. He's slipped a little expectation dampener out for all the over exuberant top four n premiership capable dreamers.

FMD. Anything else n I've got nuffin, absolutely nuffin :tumbleweed :tumbleweed.

Look it's all easily explainable - Dimma's merely practising reverse psychology to fire the boys up for a big ten goal plus win over Essendon. The man's a genius
 
Just throwing in a hypothetical here, but what if Dusty is waiting to see what Dimma's fate is before deciding what to do. He lived with the Hardwick's for a while and reportedly has an exceptional relationship with him.

If sacking Dimma would cost us Dusty would we do it?

When did he live with Dimma?
I know his first few years were spent at Marchfly's place n he spent a long time going around to Chocco's place every week or so. Didn't hear anything about him living at Dimma's.

Thank you lads,

As suspected if you can't defend it with a serious face what he said was as ridiculous and deplorable as it sounded.

Yes I would!!! What's the point of hanging on to a very good player if the coach will never allow the team to improve. *smile* should have gone 3 years ago but the peanuts running the asylum will stick fat!!
 
The players seem brainwashed to Damien's mantra.
How else do you explain last week's missed shot's at goal? Jack & Dusty included.
I'd punt him in a second no matter who left.
The message is stale, the message is wrong. This group needs a fresh voice 2 years ago.
 
Yes yes yes. So 100% correct tooheys.

Saddest thing is we're likely to end up wondering what these great top rnd players we have could have achieved under a different coach.

As recent photo shows with Dusty in a trance:

....."Yes, Dimma....Yes Dimma....whatever you say Dimma....I will follow your orders Dimma.....you are the best coach Dimma....we will pull the handbrake more often Dimma....."

You reckon missed shots at goal are his fault now?
Are they walking into goal thinking "we can't win by 10 goals so I better miss"?

Come on. Next he will be blamed for the Kennedy assassination.

Plenty to criticise him for but this is ridiculous

The negative mindset is all his. How it effects the individual players who knows.
