This clown has drained our players of any flair, attack or natural football instinct. Why the heck would both Vickery and Lloyd look to offload when they are 25m out from goal and their job is to kick goals?
Why does it take to the last qtr to play Jack deep in the fwd line, he is near on the best key forward in the game and he's running through the middle of the ground. For stuffs sake play him deep and leave him there, opposition backs get nervous as hell when deep on him.
Why would Vickery as one of our best set shot goal kickers pass the ball off to Lloyd in a contest when he is 40m out, go back and kick the goal.
We have no flair, no run, no natural attack as all Dimma wants to know about is defending, well mate unless you change what you're doing then you'll be out of a job before you know it. The game is about attacking and scoring, we push up and have no structure for when we win the footy in the back half and are left to either bomb the ball or just give it straight back to the opposition.
We can't play both C.Ellis and Menadue in the same side, not yet anyway. Connor poo himself on a couple of occasions tonight. We don't score enough and yet you won't play Lennon, a natural goal kicker.
Anyway enough is enough Dimma, you're single handedly taking away any chance we've had of any sort of success in the past 30 years through your stubbornness.
Either change it up and be daring or just concede and do the honourable thing and pee off

Bravo
It's not gonna happen tho.
He's a stuffn dud and has the support of the dud admin.
It's all in the motto "Stability in mediocrity"
-
Premature re-signing till 2018.
The league change the rules to make the game quicker and higher scoring and Dimma is playing footy Sydney style circa 2003.

Booooo

The guy is a stuffing moron

Dark Siders,
I am ready......

We need to cut loose this Adelaide connection from our football department which I believe is the source of our coaching/recruiting issues. We have to look to others who have a different philosophy and understand the nuances of the modern game and the way it is developing moving forward. As another poster mentioned we are purely treading water these days, other teams are passing us with their game plans and we when we do make any changes we simply copy other styles and then do it badly to boot. Don't get me wrong Hardwick has done a great job turning us around list wise during compromised drafts and then getting us to consecutive finals appearances but quite frankly I think we have squeezed him dry and what we need now is beyond his coaching ability and the same goes for those around him. Do we need to get to the point of desperation like the Demons before we realise that major changes are needed to get us heading in the right direction. The granting of Hardwick's extension was akin to the same dumb error by Vickery last night and a number of his teammates. Maybe dumb mistakes are like a cancer running through the club and behind the scenes dumb decisions are costing us big time as they are on the field.
Before its too late I think its time that instead of the usual yes we made mistakes and we will fix it up next week situation we instead need to really sit down and start treating the problem and not the symptoms. We simply have the wrong game plan for the current times and we don't have the cattle to execute the type of gameplan we need, if we keep convincing ourselves we do then we are doomed to failure and we may as well kiss this season and the next two goodbye.

I want to like Hardwick for rebuilding a basket case into a competitive side during the hardest time in modern football to do so. That is the expansion sides using some draft picks we should have had on players we could have had. Might be a different story if those clubs didn't happen and we had 3 or 4 better players from those drafts now hitting 100-150 games. He isn't a bad coach but he clearly can't take us any further and I don't think there is anything wrong with admitting that and it isn't a reason to pot the bloke. Only the best can squeeze the most out of their second tier and plodders and we need someone experienced like that who can do something with this list. I have no suggestions and I'm struggling to care at this point but that's my 2 cents at the moment.
-
Lozza, at a guess I'd say no matter how bad the results we will see Hardwick coaching at least until deep into 2017.

Agreed. But I still really care, unfortunately.

I do enough to watch the games and read feedback but they have just left me feeling so numb that I'm not sure if I care what happens from here. I'm not feeling angry or upset, only a little disappointment but it's that sort of disappointment when I forget to record a TV show or something.

Worsfold has managed to coach a win for the Bummers when many thought they would go winless for the season. Goes to show that good coaches can make things happen with the cattle they have. Cant imagine us being able to get close with two thirds of our side missing, we struggle with three players missing.

And more than likely we will lose to Melbourne, even The legendary Tommy Hafeys death wouldnt get us over the line.
-
how many years did Worsfold sign for ??
-
Essendon have gone past us........ohhhhhhhhhhh
-
Bummers when many thought they would go winless for the season.
Yeah but those people were delusional

everyone is delusional. anyone that thinks otherwise is being delusional

Just watched his post match. Every loss it's the same.

Well, I guess in his defence, they are all losses..... :shh

This bloke won't deliver a premiership, let alone a three peat of success.
He's had an embarrassment of riches or at worst, the same pool of rookies and draftees to choose from as everyone else at our end.
So, what was the point of giving him another two years?
I don't understand.
Can anyone even give me the clubs reasoning behind it?
I'd love to know.

Dees are weak till they turn into Supermen to play us ....

Yep we are their Grand final match for player and fan alike...
I'll never forget the time a Dees fan rang in on the radio and said beating richmond was like no other team and enjoyed watching it in the nude on his couch :help

A coaches first job is to turn boys into men.
Fail!
-
If the season continues as it has started then I'm hoping that we will pay him out. Contracts don't mean they can't be sacked.
If we stink it up and miss finals there will be some angry tiger fans around the club will know about it.

If we win a final there will still be some angry fans
Some people are just miserable sots pounding their frustration into a keyboard

Barrett had a go at Dimma in his Sliding Doors column:
IF ..... Dimma really wants to influence the media in what issues it should and shouldn't tackle ...
THEN ... it's very simple. Stop choking in the coach's box, and help stop your players from choking on-field, when games enter the crunch moments.

Fair call
-
We appointed Hardwick to lead us to the promised land and 7 years in he chokes like that against stuffing Collingwood!
Coaching 101 - fail.
Then again, the promised land was only even 'win one final' land
-
Dimma just called Chaplin an all australian defender...
-
Can already quote from Hardwicks presser after the game,"we know behind closed doors we have the right structures in place we just need to get better and learn from this game, its very disappointing but we just have to fight our way out of it".....deja effin vu.

poo coach

CLUELESS

Being at the game today, it was really clear that we lacked system. There was never anything for our players to kick to up the ground. Headless chooky everywhere.
We have a class/list problem too but the coaching problem is evident

maybe thats what astbury was talking about

This moron has his directives.
All his theories within the game plan are based on "So long as his directives are executed".
That's not coaching, it's accounting.
Can't coach. He's a joke on game day and never, ever tries anything until,it's too late.
He's just a big fail, as is the club for reappointing him for two years based on NOTHING.
RFC, your arrogance is tragic.
-
Doing pretty well in the rebuild year

Just listend to his post match presser...pfft, same old poo... :help
When asked if the skill errors were easily fixed he says, "we have probably been here before" :banghead...really Damien and we haven't changed....FFS.
"Stock standard for us starting the season like this isnt it".. :scream
"Trialling blokes in different positions".....WHY....just WHY.
He notices Deledio and Maric no being there and how we miss them....FFs Damien, may I remind you to read my signature.
And there it is......"Adelade were outstanding"... :clapping :clapping :clapping...every week he says how much better the op is..
"Our offence is killing our defence and undoubtedly we will go through it again".. :huh :huh :huh
Can't listen to his poo anymore, now he's talking about how good the Crows are again. Just stuff off Damien.

Just quietly I thought Dusty did OK in the back line
