It's not too late for Dimma to make the move.

Ross won’t either. Honest but a borderline AFL regular
Riewoldt is a smart enough footballer to play a role in our best side each week. If opposition coaches ignore him, he’ll be damaging… as team first selfless players are.
Cotchin has never been a goal kicking mid, and for me he’s still an inside mid only but with Prestia being injury prone he’ll still be there and only effectively there.
My concerns are an aging squad still reliant on guys in their 30s to carry us.
Hopefully the Balta to the forward line theories are squashed forever and Grimes and Tarrant stay fit and stand up.
I think we may make the 8 but are unlikely to threaten…. and that’s ok after what we’ve achieved

I reckon we will go close to being unbeaten thus year . Similar to the drug cheats in 2000.
I don’t subscribe to the age if the list is a concern , just diatribe sparked by Barrett and other haters . Cotchin and Riewoldt showed nothing to concern me last year that they were on the slide . In fact they were superb in the back half where surprise surprise we were pretty good . Same as Grimes and Tarrant ( who , uninformed haters aside) was simply an outstanding success as a recruit .
Where we may fall down is if we play blokes like mansell and Miller . The love for these blokes from some on our board and the podcast is staggering. They remind me of Chris Hyde and Michael Laffy . They should only get a gig when or if the injury list gets very long.
2023 I feel the Tigers mean business.

The question we should be asking is can Balta kick a ton from defence.
The goal he kicked back over the head kick out against Melbourne real should happen more often
Can Balta be the Stephen Curry of kicking long goals way out?? Darren Bennett used to be able to kick long goals before playing NFL but Balta can play defence so could be on the receiving end for a shot in some interesting positions.
The other thing is when Balta kicks goals from 50 plus our forward line are able to have a rest. The interesting part is setting Balta up while he plays his defensive role

His 2 goals very important in a close game so kudos to him but I'm still not convinced with his decision making.
He seems to run back into trouble instead of just burning the opposition with his pace. Anyone else notice he does unnecessary spins and gets himself into more trouble?

My hot take. People who bag players who have played under 20 games are f....ing stupid.
Bump.
Maurice makes far too many mistakes.
If he didn't have a famous name people would talk about him like Mansell.
That missed tackle on Laird is inexcusable, Rory didn't even know he was coming and still just brushed him off.

Hot Take: Hopper and Taranto ain't it.
Look like C Tier Prestia's at this stage.

Savage !!
Damo style.....
IF
you were frustrated with Shedda last year given a year too long...
THEN
brace in for double the frustration with both Jack and Cotch
They have been champions of the club all three of them.
Is Dimma to far up the opposite spectrum of your Clarkson/Mitchell method of moving champs on before they are struggling.
