I’m not looking at immediate performance I’m looking at how he Carrys himself and how the team responds , our onfield work is at the mercy of who we have out there , as clarko has proven there’s fa you can do without the right cattle . 12w is ample time for us to realize if he can cut it or not , now it’s over to mini
Where’s his mate Blake?
as i said, i like him and he's highly regarded. but the success long-term of stand-in coaches isn't good. hard act to follow too.
Good luck to anyone following Dimma, but the numbers on successful retread coaches is Mick Malthouse in the last 30 years. Leppa etc, forget them.
How many of the stand in coaches where triple premiership assistants , near 100% were a moving part in a failed regime so naturally they’d be a poor appointment
blight seemed to do okay.
I said the same thing to my brother the other day and his comeback was that was in the old days.
Thood for Fort Bo
what do you think the club will do if minibus gets us into the finals?
All I’m saying is I feel the next 12 w is a genuine road test , off to a good start imho , he sees the game well and has buy in ,,,I see a min of 6+ wins for the taking we ll be close and it will only enhance his prospects, nice challenge sat nightThood for Fort Bo
In his back pocket staying out of the lime light
lol Think we beat Geesook and we are traveling brilliantly. Yeah, the same gameplan that we don't have the ability to master again due to some decision-makers, went off it to start our handball movement I get it.
It's not about winning it's about changing things around looking at a style that suits the players you have. Losing say by 30 points and making something happen even if you lose rather than looking at the best team in the comp for 1 quarter and plodding along the other 3 hoping we hang on like last game.
Where have i said we are travelling brilliantly? I guess it's just unfortunate for you that you don't rate Port (2nd on the ladder), Geelong (currently in the 8) or the team that just rolled them with a coach who hasn't't even had the job for 2 weeks. And it's also unfortunate that us winning makes you mad.
It's not rating even with dima coaching we beat top teams or lost close ones to them. Remember coming from 40 points down vs Geelong last season hit the front only to lose by a point? Do you also remember what happened vs North f north? I'm not mad cause we fn won dude I'm just been realistic with the squad age-wise and recruiting-wise. The fact we beat Geelong who have lost 6 themselves and beat a team one position behind us doesn't do much confidence for the future. The squad is a big factor for me coaching not so much as whoever gets the gig is going to be in for a ride.
Every man and their dog new we knew we were rebuilding on the run from last year. They even said it. It's why we have been going to the draft since we bought Lynch over. Let me know what the squad age looks like once you retire Jack, Cotchin and Tarrant off, then the year after add Grimes and possibly Dusty. Our next serious tilt won't start until 2025 minimum. This is what rebuilding looks like while you get games into Hugo, Balta, Ross, Ryan, Sonsie, Cumbo etc etc. I think a few people have forgotten what it looks like.
Nailed it. But but but but the losses won’t somebody think about the losses
Well if you wanted to go back there was plenty , one guess whereI said the same thing to my brother the other day and his comeback was that was in the old days.
Wow, he has a really big head
Agree...
Def the modern coach with the challenge of leading 45 men is very much a managerial leadership position , tactical input comes from qty assistants and their Own background too
Great post. There is only one man capable of being all these things .....
Yeah, smashed it at St Kilda......
the point is he was a "retread" as you call them. many grand finals with the cats and two flags with the crows. could coach.
