I kept thinking in the last quarter. Do something Dimma.

move Griffiths or Lids to FF and Maric down back covering the hole.

griffiths needs to be tried in the F50 but then again when rances goes down every 2 mins like a tosser someone needs to keep their feet

Dimma has no plan B Bo we have seen it in all our losing games. We either win or lose depending on our selections and pre-game planning.

I thought that if he had been moved to a high half forward flank role he could have impacted. You got a bloke who can kick it 70 metres - so if your behind and if you cant score (and we couldnt after 1/4 time - plonk him forward and make him the go to man about 60 out from goal - who knows he could have snaffled a couple of cheap goals.

Imagine Griff with that wind behind him!

Your guys have no idea
Dimma did switch in last quarter
Switched from Water to Gatorade
Then moved himself from in the stand to the boundary
Very poor day for Dimma I thought

No one is denying his coaching efforts after 1/4 time werent much chop. To be honest I would give him about a 3/10 for his coaching today.

was not wrong to play this kid yeah he had a bad one. i would play him next week as well.
 i scratch my head and ask why is their #1 defender in rutten playing on a first gamer why was nothing done about it.
why didnt riewoldt or miller tear them a new one when the best defender is on a kid.

what purpose did miller serve today talia went to jack rutten to elton who had miller. dont blame the first gamer blame the other two who should have capitalised on a very poor situation.

sheesh how poor was rance again  today.  fall over play from behind rance got another football lesson. how soft is houli back to old habits is the biggest front runner in the game thank Geez it was only a two yr contract he signed.

still think the way to alleviate the forward problems is start maric in a pocket and bring graham into the team. keep elton and give him a decent block of games pee miller off where he belongs what a deplorable player.

finally we will not win many games even against poor sides if our ball use  and decision making does not dramatically improve theres only about 5 who use it well under pressure the rest are panic merchants.

Agree.

He wasn't ready, he had a real crack tho. He will be dropped and have his confidence destroyed.

Genius move MC..
Go Tigers!

I should correct my quote - I meant wrong to debut him in a game such as this, if he played a few weeks earlier he gets a taste and u know if he can handle it

Should have played him against GWS. Seriously, are the blokes on our MC taking the pee? You bring in a kid for his first game against one of the best teams?? Is that the way to debut a kid according to our brains trust? Even Wallet has more sense.
Young Todd will still be a good player you'd think...shouldn't have played today though. That's not his fault so we shouldn't bag him. Bag the blokes that still make these mind boggling selections. "No more gifting games at Tigerland" Yeah, right....

Just shows that we still lack a lot of depth.

Miller needs to go and we need to develop the young kids.

Maybe bring Batch back in and play Griff forward or put Astbury forward.

Elts will be a good player, just not ready yet.
