Dimma has a video email newsletter now for members. You would've got the first one during this week.
* Played 4 of the top 5 sides and haven't been able to get the results we were after. 8 minute lapses cost us in each game.
* All sides cop those 8 minutes bursts against them but we need to get better at not letting it hurt us so much on the scoreboard.
* We know we've dramatically improved since last year. This time last year these sides were smashing us by 10 goals. We've been competitive and honest for the whole of games this year. The gamestyle has come on and developed. Our ability to control the ball is very good. The scribes say we are poor disposers of the ball but we are ranked Top 4 in disposal efficiency so that dispels that myth. We do turn it over like all sides - we just need to not let it hit us on the scoreboard. Our defensive sides have definitely improved - scores against us have gone down significantly; ball pressure has been a hell of a lot better and our tackle pressure has improved also. Credited Ross Smith and the other assistant coaches.
* Forward line has been a struggle this year. Jack and Ty by their own admission can play better but also our ball use inside forward 50 has been poor prior to the Eagles game where it improved. As our ball use inside forward 50 improves it will make Jack and Ty's job easier.
* Pleased with our midfield depth - Grigg, Foley, Tuck, Conca and Ellis have been enormously important to us. We don't rely on Cotch and Martin playing well every weekend which is a positive sign for a young side.
* How do we improve? By start winning games. It's no longer good enough to just compete; we need to win now. We've put all our planning and preparation into this week's game and we're confident about getting the result.
* Thanks for your support. We are all trying our backsides off. There's good spirit within the playing group which is a credit to Newman as captain.

nice to receive the email...not..

Danny Daly this week...
* From the coaches box the crowd sounded like 75k were at the ground. The noise was so loud after each goal.
* We could have easily kicked 8-9 goals in first quarter. We switched the play well and kept the ball inside 50.
* Defence has really stood up this year. Last year we allowed too many goals kicked against us. The acquisition of Ross Smith has played a big part in the turnaround and Leppa's work has helped Rance and Grimes. Lids going into the midfield has put more pressue on Newy and Houli but they have handled it well.
* We brought in a runner in Jacko to replace the injured Vickery. Used and rotated Lids, Cotch and Dusty more up forward with Vickery not there. That created a mismatch and freed up Jack and Miller more. Also allowed Miller to go into the ruck.
* Jacko tagged Ryan O'Keefe out of the game in the last uqarter which stopped their half-back rebound.
* Daly praised the midfield which he overseas. We are No.1 or No.2 in clearances in the AFL. Big Ivan has played a big part in that.
* Dreamtime becomes an important game. A win could put us in the Top 8. Essendon going well as anyone in the midfield and with their spread. The win over the Swans was nice but we need to move on from that and focus on the Bombers. Boys need to step up for Newy's 200th. The gate is shared this week so the more supporters that turn up the best for us not only off-field but on-field cheering the boys on. We appreciate what you the supporters and members have done so far but make sure you get to the game and get behind the boys.

Once again Jacko has filled a valuable role for us that doesn't show up on the stats.
In our best 22 every week IMHO.

Well said. :clapping

Cause up to that point ROK was tearing us up :shh

Now that will be quite enough of that thank you.
Can't have you two agreeing with me.
:lol

;D
I was actually being sarcastic
-
Should have guessed I suppose.
-
We will need to shut down Cale Hooker's run and carry in the 4th quarter next week. Jacko is the man to do it.
-
If we gain midfield supremacy, simple , we win :shh
-
Hooker will cut us to pieces if Jacko doesnt go to him. Make the call, Damien.

Assistant Coach MARK WILLIAMS this week.
After a disappointing loss at the Dreamtime game on Saturday, Mark shares his thoughts on a midfield which is playing well, the hard work of Ivan Maric and how Shane Edwards stepped up in front of goal.
He also touches on the tough challenge we have against the Hawks at the MCG on Saturday.

Okay back to the topic ppl!

:lol
i like how he reckons the crowd noise affected our goal kicking
and people wonder why the fwd line isn;t functioning with this dude on the line
pull your heads in
-
Shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but Williams sounds like a bit of a drip.
Part of me wonders if he was put up by Dimma to deliver that clip on how well the midfield is functioning, considering it's not his area of responsibility.
-

Lol not likely, we re a step away from turning it around :shh

Agree MM but then again, so does Ross Lyon.

Dimma is in this week's episode:
* Viewed our tough draw in the first 10 rounds as a positive. We got a chance to measure where we are at early on.
* Our improvement shows in us not only being able to match it with those sides around us but also now match it with those sides who were above us on the ladder last year.
* Now need to keep things in perspective as far as our long term goals and have strong efforts in the next two weeks against Freo and GWS.
* Saints game positive - able to limit stoppages (Saints like second stoppages) which was our plan going into the game. 75 was the lowest for the year.
* negative - too fast offensively which allowed the Saints to score on the rebound and chalk up 113 points in total.
* Overall - a great game of footy. Franetic. Players with hands on their hips for 15-20 secs after every goal.
* Jack has been No.2 in defensive tackles so the defensive side of his game has been good all year. Last two weeks the offensive side has clicked and the goals have come (14 goals).
* Vickery similar to where Jack was. Doing his part defensively but offensive side hasn't clicked yet.
* Rance - can hold his head up high. Nick R only kicked 3 goals and all those came from centre bounces which are hard to stop. Gave away 4 frees so that's one area he can tidy up.
* Griffiths - pleased with his efforts in our backline. His vunerability is his durability so our work now is to keep him on the park.
* This week - try to lock Freo down as much as we can and attack offensively as we can.
* We are ranked 8th in clearances. Have come back to the field the last week or so, so we need to work on that this week.
* Sandilands dominates the hitouts but Freo don't get the clearances you'd expect from that dominace. There's a few guys we need to curb such as Pavlich.

'65 and Gerk have shone in this thread - hard to split them :rollin

Dimma in the latest video newsletter doing a midseason review. See you email for the link to the video.
* At the start of the season if you gave us a 6-6 record we would've been reasonably happy with that given the tough draw we've had. However as a coach, the closer you get towards the top the more you look at the games you let slip. He was disappointed we let go the Eagles and Geelong games which were games he felt we could've won. The Freo game was another where IHO we had control of the game for large periods but could'nt get across the line.
* Last 4-week block - wins over Hawthorn, St Kilda, loss to Freo as mentioned, and a win over GWS. Normally going 3-1 in any block would be good but we were very disappointed about dropping the Freo game. We didn't play at the standard we set for ourselves; they went lower and harder for longer.
* The Bye came at a good time. Teams at around rounds 11-12 were starting to fatigue. Especially in the conditions we had to play in in the last two weeks. We have a number of indicators we monitor closely and they were right on the edge of our player fatigue levels. So we are really happy to have the bye when we did.
* Players got 4 days off over the bye to freshen up. To mentally freshen up is just as if not more the key component than physically freshening up which the boys no doubt will have.
* Coaches over the break did a thorough two-day midseason review. Looked at what we're doing well as well as areas we need to improve and we identified a number of those. One of those areas which people would have noticed is our efficiency or lack of in our forward 50. Something we will work on in the remaining 10 games and especially in the next 4-week block of games. To rectify the problem where we have inside 50 dominance but that dominance not reflecting on the scoreboard.
* Dimma also over the break caught up with our recruiting department. Did a bit of list management as well as caught up with other departments around the Club. Tick a few things off and see how we are tracking for the remaining 10 games.
* Adelaide game - The Crows despite the disappointing loss for them last week are one of the form sides of the comp. They are a clearance machine; a contested possession dominant side; large contested possession side. It'll be a tough battle in-close so we to get the ball outside which we do well and get the ball moving our way.
* Next 4-week block - a season maker or breaker. Need to solidify our position or it's season over. Despite the pundits saying our draw opens up now, we know from this season that if you are off 5% you'll get beaten. The improvement will come from our key forwards who have been competitive but haven't hit their straps yet or being at the level we'd like. Dimma still feels our back-six can improve with more experience playing together - Griffiths, Grimes (who is back this week) and Morris. Look to those guys to see us improve.
* A good thing is seeing players at Coburg step-up - Elton was outstanding on the weekend and others stood up as well.
* Wish us luck against Adelaide and hopefully we'll get the result.
-
It's interesting that for years all of our concerns here never seemed to be addressed at the club by TW, Spud etc. Now the club/coaches are not only aware but also let us all know they are seeking to correct them. We have been bemoaning the lack of conversion between forward 50 entries and score board pressure for weeks and sure enough they are seeking to tactically fix the problem. I continue to be impressed by our direction :cheers
-
Dimma again this week with his review of the Adelaide and Melbourne games etc ...
* Adelaide game - thought our intensity was good early but it fell away as the game went along especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
* Last 3 weeks the opposition has scored with an accuracy of 80% which is some kind of record. We've been giving the opposition to many easy corridor shots so we need to work on that.
* Dimma was pleased with our defensive efforts. We've conceded the 2nd least inside 50s (avg. 45 per game) which is a significant improvement on last year.
* In the Melbourne game we had 36 scoring shots which is pleasing but our inaccuracy hurt us obviously. We kicked 5.10 from set shots within the corridor so that was really disappointing. So we kept the scoreboard closer than we would've liked. Something to work on over the next 4 weeks.
* It's that time of year when injuries and suspensions start to bite so we needs other to step up.
Dimma was pleased with ...
Conca who was outstanding in the way he played
Ellis took another step forward
Derickx's desperation and intensity around the contest was good. He got a little bit tired towards the end but we were pleased with his output. His ruckwork was quite good.
McGuane - contributed with 2.2. Probably should have had 4 and fluffed another handballing to Jack in the goalsquare.
* Gold Coast game - lost up there last year but we feel better placed this time around. Just need to get back to playing our best and lifting our intensity. Nice to get the players up there training in the Sun.
* We just need to hang tough over the next few rounds because Jackson and Martin will be back next week and Moore will get another game under his belt. Just need to grind out wins as this month is the make or break month for sides aiming for finals.
-
We've been beaten by opposition in last quarters over the past 5 games
Too many easy shots at goal and hence opposition get accurate scores at the same time were been butchering the ball in fwd line
We are handicapped at the moment and coaching staff are under the pump
No excuses playing Pia against Adelaide
Still a coaching stuff up since we have a youth policy :shh
-
Mr RFCO how come i dont get these emails? :banghead

Dimma this week discusses the Gold Coast and North losses:
* Last two weeks disappointing to go down by a kick in each match.
* Down to 30 players to choose from each week. Basically we've run out of midfielders so we are just hanging on.
* Gold Coast game - poor intensity in the first half. Everyone mentions the final six minutes costing us but the game was gone in the first half. Credit to our boys for fighting back but a lesson in you can't be that poor in a first half against any side desperate for a win.
* North game - improved effort. Dimma mentioned the players took control from a leadership point of view. However still areas we need to work on - Our disposal efficiency was at its lowest in 12 months. We kicked at just 39% in the back half in the last quarter. We also had our most forward-half turnovers in 12 months. These are things we can work on to correct.
* Positives - form of Ellis, Conca and Morris.
* Another thing that has hurt us has been suspensions - White, Jackson and Martin. So our discipline needs to improve. We gave away 5 goals from free kicks and 3 of those from 50m penalities. In a 4 point game those undisciplined acts cost you the game. This is something we can control and stamp out of our game.
* Still aiming for finals. We go in confident of winning every one of the remaining six games.
* No bigger game than this week against Carlton. We haven't beaten them under his (Dimma's) tenure so far so we want to get one up on them. Even though it's an away game (gate shared) Dimma wants the Tiger Army to show up and get the boys across the line. Drew Petire mentioned how loud our fans were when a free kick didn't go our way.
-
* Gold Coast game - poor intensity in the first half. Everyone mentions the final six minutes costing us but the game was gone in the first half. Credit to our boys for fighting back but a lesson in you can't be that poor in a first half against any side desperate for a win.
Obviously the final 6 minutes didn't cost us. And it's not like you can blame the first half when we were 2 goals up with 30secs to go. Come on Dimma.

-
play like we did in the second 1/2 for the whole game and GC would have needed 10 goals in the last 6 minutes to win.
when you play that poorly for a half of footy and you loose, that is the main reason.
-
Dimma again in this week's email clip for members (ed. check your email inbox for the video link) ...
* A funny couple of weeks. Firstly a disappointing narrow loss to Carlton which we haven't beaten under his (Dimma's) tenure. We just didn't play well enough for long enough. Intensity was down and in the last couple of minutes we have a couple of breakdowns in structure - one at a stoppage where Armfield slipped out of the back because our guys didn't communicate well enough out there. Then had an error from Morris who did well to get back there but then kicked it out on the full. Just one of those games like the previous two close loses that we'll learn from. As both a coaching and playing group we need to get better and address those areas.
* Things we've tried to rectify over the last few weeks:
(i) our ball movement has been stationary compared to previous. Against Brisbane we started to get our ball movement and intensity back to where we expect.
(ii) a different tact with our reviews on Mondays. Normally Dimma does a big team review but we've now individualised them. Effectively the player will come in with Dimma and the line coach and go through their individual games. Normally Dimma would do 5-6 of these a week but in the last couple of weeks he's doing the whole 22. Been good as he feels he can get his message across and identify the areas of improvement needed, plus he/we can put the onus on the players to get better in certain areas.
* Good to get back on the winners list against Brisbane. You usually give the interstate state a 4 goal start when you play them on their home turf. Brisbane we on similar wins to us but we always felt we were the better side and the KPIs backed that up. Pleasing thing is we started a little bit slowly. We built up and won just our second second-quarter which was a good result and then started to pull away. Disappointing that in the last quarter we went to sleep for a period of time; we lost our intensity; we lost our ability to play on quickly. We had seven uncontested marks in the midfield during that period but not one 'mark & play on' which was disappointing and an indicator we weren't moving the ball to the best of our ability. Pleasing thing though is when we were challenged we stood up unlike the previous 3 weeks. Good to pull away in the end and guys like Cotchin and Deledio came to the fore and we were pleased to get over the line.
* Noticeable from the game is we had a solid contribution from all players. This year one thing we can't question from the playing group is effort. They have given effort which is a good indicator of a good side. We've made skill and decision making errors but as we gain experience we'll certainly get better in that area. It's hard to believe we have the third youngest list and the youngest outside of the start-up sides. Every week we go in very inexperienced so we're only going to better for the games that we play.
* Bulldogs this week - another chance to stamp our authority. We believe again we are a better side. We need to though play as the better side. Sometimes you can go into these games unprepared so we are making sure we are ramping up the guys for this game.
* Last 4 weeks - looking to win every game. Make it a stepping stone for 2013. While our finals chances are still alive the chances of that happening are pretty slim. We want to go into next season with a 12-10 record. At least that will give us an indication we are improving first and foremost but that we have a nice stepping stone heading into 2013. Our guys will be up to play and we look forward to winning the last 4 games of the season. Cheers!

It wasn't a bad watch.
Would be a lot better if the person making the video bothered to critically review their own work.
Who really needs so much footage of a long shot of the back of Dimwicks head towards a screen display you can't see properly due to overhead lights.
Just take a bit more time and do the headshot direct of his face then switch to the screen footage as a direct feed when it moves.
You're already shooting the footage and doing the inserts, why not do it so people can see the action on the replay.
I feel so bad about criticising a good concept, but how hard is it to get a watchable product, in full.
-
Hi,
I hope Dimma is not giving away too much info or he is talking BS!!!!!!
Go Tiges!
-
I don't think he is releasing critical strategic Intel but rather run through standard defensive and decision-making plays. You could use the same footage for any side in the league.
-
The main one for me was where our two blokes had tunnel vision and let two carltank sneaky bastards peel off towards goal unattended. Rest was tired fumbles and bumbles.
-
Dimma's dissection of round 2:
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2012-04-09/dimmas-dissection-round-2
* Happy with our forwards and backs winning the contested footy but our mids were disappointing in that area. Dimma mentioned the "life and death" creed our defenders have again and how they attack the footy hard (video eg: Morris).
* Last year the Saints scored 5 goals from stoppages in our defensive 50. This year we kept it to just one point. Body checked Milne at the stoppages and had players in position to curb Dal Santo's run onto his left.
* Denied the Saints switch of play and short lead ups forcing them to kick long to a contest. We didn't make the most of this though as our mids were down in winning the contested footy on the night. The latter will be part of the team and individual review, planning and training this week.
-
Dimma's dissection of Round 3
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2013-04-17/dimmas-dissection-round-3
* We targeted the Bulldogs' strength in the clearances and especially the centre clearances. Individually important to stop Tom Liberatore by blocking his run and swing onto his left foot (Grigg had that job).
Clear. Centre Clear. Tom Liberatore
Dogs vs Bris: 42-34 (+8 ) 17-8 (+9) 11 clearances (#1 AFL) + 9 tackles
Dogs vs Freo: 41-29 (+12) 16-8 (+8 ) 12 clearances + 11 tackles
Dogs vs Rich: We won the centre bounces 20-13 and young Libba only had 10 touches + 2 clearances for the game.
Scores from centre bounces: Rich 6.2-38 to the Dogs 0.0-0
Defensive 50 stoppages strong again. Dogs only scored 2 behinds. In the first two games the Dogs were 100% efficient in this area.
* Our all ground defensive work was about denying the Dogs the short chip passes which they used in the first two weeks to maintain possession and clear their defensive 50. The key to that was simply being disciplined manning the mark properly. Made their kicks have to go that 3 degrees higher over the fingertips and importantly longer often to a contest so they weren't able to maintain possession.
-
Congratulations to the person doing the video this week.
Following my criticisms of last weeks effort I have to say the video this week is great.
Very well edited with clear and concise stats/information passed on and good demonstration shots of the points in action.
Again, congratulations on the job. An excellent piece of information for the members.
And a thanks to the coach for his time and effort in communicating so well to supporters.
-
It has improved plenty , i thought r1 was atrocious, highlighting a couple of lousy mistakes in a walloping....very good now :shh
-
i cant access this video??????

i cant access this video??????
Maybe Dimma doesnt like people called Alberts? ;D
In all seriousness Dimma seems to be improving all the time in his coaching. We got the right bloke for the job when we got Hardwick. RFC would have been up the creek had we gone with any of the other candidates being mentioned at the time.
-
Dunno, was down to Dimma and Hinkley and old Kenny looks a good operator straight off the bat
Both overlooked by the Dees :shh

Not a big deal, it's good publicity for all supporters, but I thought it was a little special something for members to brag about and entice into paying the price to belong.

Dimma's dissection for round 4:
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2013-04-24/dimmas-dissection-r4
* We wanted to tick off three areas against Collingwood. Normally we tick off at least two if not the whole three but on the weekend we failed to tick off any of them.
(i) Offensively we didn't move the ball in the manner we wanted.
(ii) Our accountability and defensive mindset was poor on the day.
(iii) Not good enough against a top 4 team. We weren't good enough for long enough and for us to take the next step that's what we've got to do on a consistent basis.
* Our offence killed our defence...
Example 1 was Houli and Knights running off half-back with the ball. Cotch and Conca peel off Swan and Thomas respectively to run forward as mids do. Ball is turned over through poor control and disposal of it and we couldn't get back in time to reset defensively so Swan is free to mark inside 50 and kick a goal for Collingwood.
Example 2 was Knights passing to Ivan on half-back. We have 1-on-1s upfield to exploit, however Ivan's handpass misses Conca and then Knights' handball misses the target and we gift the ball to Collingwood and a scoring opportunity. So once again we go from a position of control of the footy offensively to one defensively where we have goals scored against us. So once again our offence killed our defence and Rance gets caught on the Collingwood lead.
Example 3 was a lack of midfield accountability. Dusty's opponent is free on the wing and in the example will win the footy 100% of the time. We however have 6 players all running towards that position where we won't win the footy. Ends up 7 Tigers against two Pies on the wing which of course means the Collingwood player that gets the ball sees free Collingwood players to kick to and Cloke ends up marking it. [ed. in other words dumb play by our mids]
Example 4 was poor workrate and us being beaten at the contest by greater Collingwood numbers and hence greater pressure and then we get caught behind the ball with Magpies in greater numbers running forward.
* We've been working on addressing all this this week. If we are that poor again against Freo then we'll be on a hiding to nothing but Dimma has no doubt the boys will turn it around on Friday.

Did Dimma just get out of bed prior to filming this?

VIDEO: Dimma's dissection for round 5:
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2013-05-01/dimmas-dissection-r5
* Losing another close game by a point is a bitter pill to swallow but one we have to live with.
* Happy with our desperation and ability to tackle the opposition. It was one thing we weren't overtly happy with over the course of the season. Guys game into the game with an intention to tackle and we ended up with 73 which put up No.3 in the AFL. Freo, who are one of the better tackling sides, had 65 so we beat them in that area. It's part of our gameplan. Once we get our tackle numbers up then there's no doubt it will prove dividends in forcing turnovers from the opposition which is a strength of ours.
* Last two minutes were obviously disappointing.
[Shows camera from behind Freo's goal of the centre bounce after Whitey put us in front and the Freo forward line is wide open]. Dimma said we obviously had to get numbers behind the ball which didn't result on Friday night. So there's a mistake there; one we'll rectify from a communication point of view.
One thing we wanted to do is force a secondary stoppage which we did by numbers around the ball.
Griffin was playing as a forward and was matched up in Nahas :P. Obviously a mismatch.
Next thing which is disappointing is that the umpire missed our ruckman (Maric) being shepherded out of the contest. That should have been a free to Ivan. That non-umpire decision allowed a free third man up for Freo and a free hitout.
The next thing which was disappointing was Freo are trying to hit the ball outside so we should be trying to keep them inside. Jackson is on Fyfe and Nahas is now on Hill. They (Fyfe and Hill) get the outside space which is really really poor. Petterd drops back behind the ball (10m from the stoppages) because that's where Freo want the ball to go but the free hitout sends the ball 20m and over Ricky's head and with Freo players on the outside running forward they get the easy clearance and it's a diabolical result for us.
Next up is the throw-in the back pocket. Normally we are very good in this area and we have conceded the second fewest defensive 50 scores. Dimma points to the huge hole in front of the Freo goal. He said normally you don't have six forwards up the ground in this situation; unfortunately we had six forwards in this case. That means there's a communication breakdown amongst our players. So effectively we as coaches aren't doing a good enough job to get that communication across to the players. So that's our bad. Too much space but we get lucky first time around that the ball runs on and hits the post with Freo players goal side. Ivan is calling for a spare man in the defensive hole but the throw-in is too quick (another communication failure) and we all know what happens next. Sure Houli could've been closer to Ballantyne, Jackson could have picked it up, etc. Lots of what-ifs. Fact is we didn't get the job done and learn another harsh lesson. We need to get better in this area.
* So we lick our wounds and get on with it and look forward to the enormous challenge of Geelong this weekend. We think we are a great chance.
-
At least Dimma admitted that there were errors that needed addressing. A good dissection of the points he showed, even admitting that the coaching staff needed to be better.
-
Credit to Dimma for putting his hand up but really it's schoolboy stuff as a forward to know that you automatically push back behind the ball and fill holes when you're narrowly in front with just two minutes to play. Likewise you're taught from a young age playing footy to protect the goal side of your opponent when in defence. Some of our blokes are just footy dumb.

VIDEO: Dimma's dissection for round 6:
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2012-05-07/dimmas-dissection-round-6.workstation
* Disappointing to go down by 44 points. Unacceptable loss. We thought we were competitive in the first half. 5-6 minutes prior to half-time Geelong kicked 4 unanswered goals which got them back into the game. We thought we started the 3rd quarter okay; obviously the loss of Ivan and Ty was disappointing. Clearances dominance certainly turned around with McGuane being forced to ruck against two monsters in West and Blicavs. Once Ivan came back on he wasn't quite the same with that ankle injury. We felt we didn't play well in the second half but there are areas which we can fix.
* We have things we call "fundamental mistakes". Normally you have 2-3 per game; this week we had 9. Dimma then showed a couple of examples:
(i) Chaplin had a terrific night overall but in this instance he had the chance to walk the loose ball by the boundary over the line in the first quarter. Sure the ump could ping him for deliberate but we prefer he did take it across and play the percentages and let the ump make the call; if he gets pinged then so be it. Instead Chappy gathers and turns in and under pressure gives off a long loopy handball which hits the deck and is gathered by a Cat for a goal. That's an example of a uncharacteristic mistake (No.3 on the night) - one that give the opposition an easy goal and a momentum changer. It's great for the opposition and a zapping one for our confidence at the moment.
(ii) The next example (No.4 on the night) was the play that lead to the West goal late in the 2nd qtr. Houli does a good spoil on Stokes towards the boundary creating a 4-vs-1 situation in our favour. Looking at it you think Richmond should have this covered (Dimma almost laughs while saying this thinking about how badly we screwed this up). Grimes attacks the ball to heavily and leaves it behind; he should've killed it. Bachar then runs forward of the ball too much expecting us to win it; we don't and Stokes wins possession, handballs to West and there's a goal to Geelong that should never have happened.
(iii) Fundamental mistake No.5 on the night was at the time Vlastuin went off with the blood rule (late 2nd qtr). A Geelong player had the ball on the wing; we had everyone manned up with Cotch a loose man and Vickery on Smedts. No way should a Geelong player be able to simply lead up and mark out in front. However, there's a communication breakdown between Trent and Ty and there's a easy lead-up for Smedts which is really disappointing and it's a really bad clanger for us. It's a concentation error, communication error, etc ... you name it. Once again it's a easy mistake and one a AFL footballer shouldn't be making.
(iv) Easy goal No.7 on the night (3rd qtr) - fundamental error - Grimes coming in 3rd man up tries to mark the ball in a very dangerous position (top of opposition goalsquare). If you had asked Grimes one second afterwards he would've given the correct answer on what he should have done; if you asked him just before he did it he should've known the correct answer. That was of course to spoil the ball either out of bounds or through for a point. Dylan does neither trying to mark it and it's a disaster for us gifting a easy goal to them. It was right before 3/4 time from memory and gives Geelong a lift.
* So all us we gave 9 of these easy goals to Geelong which is 54 points. Now Geelong are an outstanding side don't get me wrong but these are things we could've have controlled and done better. They are readably fixable but also disappointing that we are still making these sort of errors when we shouldn't be.
* We've got a great chance to bounce back this week against Port Adelaide and we are looking forward to the challenge. They are in red hot form at 5-1. We are 3-3 so still in the hunt. We've just got to get players in the side that are hungry and ready to go and look forward to taking Port Adelaide on over at AAMI Stadium.

Every team turns the ball over. Some of those goals count from us turning the ball over going into forward line and they sweep it forward. The ones Dimma has highlighted and obviously listed in his 9 are the dumb mistakes we make that the good sides don't. Bad kicks happen sometimes but stupid decisions like those covered should not.

VIDEO: Dimma's dissection for round 7:
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2013-05-15/dimmas-dissection-r7
* Good to win away. Always start behind the eight ball regarding crowds. Dimma reckons it's a 3-4 goal advantage to the home side.
* Stats:
- Won contested ball and tackle counts. We've improved over the past 4 weeks in this area we weren't going well in.
- Centre bounce was important. We're #1 in the AFL and Port were #2 going into the game. Pleased with what the Big O and Ivan brought on the night (sic) [ed. it was a day game Dimma ;) ]. Won that 17-12 including scoring 4.2-26 from centre bounces to Port's 0.1-1 which is a massive result for us.
- Port were the AFL's #3 in transition from defensive 50. We kept them to 18% when they were averaging 35% which is another good result. Port also only scored 1.2-8 when they had been #1 defensive attacking side over the past 4 weeks. Another great result for us.
* Room for improvement:
- Opposition forward 50 stoppages still an issue. Wasn't a day again. Port won 5 of them. Given we have more numbers in this area of the ground it was a concern. Port kicked 3.1-19 from them; granted two of those were from free kicks. Normally it's a strength of ours but it's been a weakness over the last couple of weeks [ed. Freo game says hi]. We'll have walk through sessions to rectify those.
- First possession win to clearance numbers was poor. Got our hands on the ball 40 times but only cleared the ball 31 times. We've just got to make sure we get better this week.
- Port still had 15 marks inside 50. You can handle one mark but when they have 2-3 from multiple mark to mark to mark it's a coach killer.
* Vlastuin - credit to him on winning the rising star nomination this week. Not only is he going to be a very good player but he's also shown he can play the level. Dimma highlighted Flossy's chase where he was well behind the Port player (Broadbent) but did enough to catch up and put pressure on the ball carrier's kick. Stopped a golden goal scoring chase for Port.
* Happy with our defenders cleaning up of the loose ball this week. They were disappointing against Geelong; not so much effort but technique.
* Midfielders were reasonable on the day. Happy with their intensity and coverage. We were able to outnumber Port at the contests.
* Grigg did a fantastic job containing Boak. Please with Shaun's overall game. Dimma showed a snippet from the game highlighting Grigg's work.
* Impressed with our forwards defensive pressure. Dimma showed an example where it looks like Port has an easy outlet kick from their defensive 50 but McGuane still is able to get to the contest; it's why McGuane is playing some really good footy for us at moment; and then he has a second effort. Dusty then does a terrific chase and tackle which is something he has improved in, Ivan then passes for Knights to goal (who unfortunately gets injured).
* Overall a really good effort for guys to go over there against a 5-1 side and to win by 40 points which is a great result.
* Looking forward to the Melbourne game. They obviously haven't had great news coming out of there so they'll come out all guns blazing. So we've got to make sure we take it but importantly dish out some of our own.

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2013-07-10/dimmas-dissection-r15
* North's first quarters are one of their better quarters and we were reasonably happy with how it went. However in the 2nd quarter, it just all fell to pieces in regards to them kicking 8 goals to our 5 behinds = effectively game over at half-time.
* Whenever you get a run of goals against you, there's usually a key element that tells you why and that was definitely the case this week (see below).
* Game decided in 18 minutes (in the 2nd qtr). 41 points of the 62 point difference occurred during this 18 minute period. Defensive 50 contested ball during this period was 5-10 (ie. ability of the opposition to win the ball in our defensive half). So that was poor. Normally we are No.2 in the AFL at this so it was diabolical for us.
* Six of the 7 North goals in this period came directly from them winning contested ball inside 50. They scored from 8 of their 11 inside 50s during this period. Once again normally a strength of ours but we just had a really poor day. So you can see the trend/"key" already - we weren't able to get our hands on the footy. We had one number back then two numbers back then three then back to one but we still couldn't win the contested footy.
* 5 of their 7 goals came from forward half-half chains (2 centre-forward turnovers, 1 F50 turnover, 2 from F50 stoppages).
* Overall a poor period of play in 18 minutes of play is the reason why we lost the game.
* First goal of 2nd qtr - ball won out of the centre by North. We had a spare back (Newy). Lost two critical contests - Newy and Batch on half-back and then Aaron Black marking in the goalsquare without us getting a hand on the ball in a 3-vs-3 contest. So goal scored from critical contests loss.
* 2nd goal - North win possession in our forward line and are just too good with the handball chain through which is a rarity to go the length of the ground. Harvey then hits up Black who nails a 55m goal. Some opposition goals are just too good to stop and that was one of them.
* 3rd goal - Our kick-in. Poor contest 60m out by Grigg and then Batch dives on the ball and is correctly pinged for holding the ball followed by a 50m penalty. So another critical contest lost, free kick to the opposition and an easy goal to them.
* 4th goal - Foley's clearing kick inside defensive 50 doesn't go to the boundary and stays in. North player centres it, Whitey does well to spoil it but he punches it into the centre corridor rather than towards the boundary. Result is a snap goal to North. So we had two chances to kill the ball but we didn't.
* 5th goal - Defensive 50 stoppage. Dusty kicks it off the ground OOTF. Ball comes back in and Chaplin gives a free kick away to Petrie. Another goal given away in their forward 50.
* 6th goal - Another defensive 50 stoppage. Lose the stoppage despite having a two numerical advantage at the stoppage. Ball goes to the goalsquare, Batch should have punched the ball through but we lose the 3-vs-2 contest = North goal. So two contests where we had the numerical advantage yet we still couldn't kill the ball. Another poor one by us.
* 7th goal - Another defensive 50 stoppage and another goal to them. We had two spares but in this case the opposition was just too good. They broke a couple of tackles and Ziebell kicks a goal.
* 8th goal - Yet another defensive 50 stoppage which results in a goal for them. Lose the stoppage, ball kicked deep to a 2-vs-2 but two of our guys take each other out and the North player runs into an open goal.
* So all up:
(i) We didn't take advantage of numerical superiority at the contests.
(ii) We failed we win critical contests.
(iii) We failed to kill the ball when we had the opportunities to do so.
These are errors we shouldn't be making as a footy club where you give up 8 goals in a quarter.
* Gold Coast this week up in Cairns. It hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us and we are the only side not to have beaten in the Suns. We're looking forward to the challenge.
-
Anybody see Dimma in the box last weekend?
I swear he looked clueless and resigned. No visible anger or clues as to how to change the game plan. Very out-coached.
-
A fair few deep breaths from Dimma during that. Not a happy coach :nope.
As much as we stuffed up giving up all those soft goals in the back half despite more numbers, Dimma more importantly needs to address what happened at the other end of the ground so the ball doesn't end up in our back-half so easily. We need to be smarter and more varied with our forward entries when the opposition push extra tall numbers back themselves. Bombing long lazily time and time again might work against the short and weak backlines of the Saints, Dogs and other bottom 4 sides but it's a recipe for disaster against anyone half-decent. We were sucker punched all day by North on the counter and had no answer to it :scream.

Yeah he was out coached
But to say there wasn't any "visible anger" then you obviously didn't see AFL360 last night when they showed him in the box, didn't need to be an expert in lip reading to know what he said quite a few times ;D

Nah I was studying but record it every night so will check it out today. Glad to hear that at any rate. Every time they showed him on the weekend he looks like a fish out of water. I wanted to see some fury.

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2014-03-19/dimmas-dissection-r1
* In the middle, got smashed in ground ball gets. Despite that our contested ball loss was just -6. This was partly due to hitouts to advantage +12 (Hampson effect). Despite this ruck dominance and winning the clearances 47-30, we were unable to convert this into scoring opportunities, scoring just 2.4 from clearances to the Suns 3.5.
* Inside our forward 50, we won just 7 loose ball gets for a score of 1.1 (The Suns won 15 L.B.G. in their F50). This was the reason for contested possession loss in our F50 (26-35) and a major reason why we were only able to score from 33% of our forward opportunities. Never going to win games with those stats.
* In our defensive 50, we lost the contested ball 24-31, again through our inability to win the Loose Ball Gets that resulted in the Suns scoring from 56% of their forward entries. We lose LBG 7-14 and from the Suns 14 LBGs in their forward 50 they were able to kick 2.7.
* Defensive spread was poor. Lack of accountability (mentioned examples of Grigg and Griffiths) allowed the Suns a loose man to play out of our forward line too easily turning an attacking play by us into a scoring opportunity for the Suns.
* Griffiths had a terrific game but we had to take a tall off to add more ground level speed and as far as matchwinning ability Griffo was behind Jack and Vickery. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
-
I would think Hardwick a little deflated by the Suns loss. Not because so much of where we are at but by how much they have improved and how much improvement they still have in them.
Expansion teams are coming like a veritable stampede...

Dimma's dissection- round 2 vs Carlton:
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2014-04-01/r2-dimmas-dissection
* Most of Carlton's damage was done from the 12th min of the 3rd qtr to the 19th min of the last qtr where they kicked 5.6 to our 0.4. Our inside 50s were down, our contested ball was done, we couldn't get our hands on the footy and we went away from the way we wanted to play.
* The F50 zone had the biggest contested possession loss (23-28) of the three zones which was due to our inability to win the contested ground ball in this zone (14-22). The majority of this differential was in the 2nd half when we had a greater percentage of long bombs inside F50 and only retained possession from 20% of these kicks.
* We narrowly lost the clearances (42-43), however it is important to note that a large majority of the Blues clearances were ineffective: 13 of their 43 were ineffective (30%) compared to our 9 from 42 (21%). The Blues did not score a goal at all from first possession wins but kicked 2.0 of their 2.6 from clearances from our cough ups (RFC first possession to clearance loss).
* In the 2013 Elim. Final, our overall clearance loss was -11 and the Blues were able to kick 11 goals from their defensive clearance wins. So pleased to only give up 2 goals this time. The Defensive 50 won the contested ball (22-21) this time also which has been a major issue against Carlton in previous encounters. Remember we lost the D50 contested ball by -18 in the Elim. final last year. So another significant improvement this time around. Dimma praised the work of Astbury, Vlastuin and Chaplin in defence. Our backs were able to produce a number of great spoils.
* Had nine marks inside F50 in first half. Hardly any in 2nd half. Need to get better at the 50-70m zone and lower our eyes to spot shorter targets. Carlton players like Simpson and Yarran were dropping back quickly. Yarran dropped off his man to get back so we needed to go shorter using his man rather than bombing to outnumbered situations up forward.
-
Very interesting about the contested ball and clearances but I felt the switch in the game had more to do with our ball use. Carlton shut down our space and options forcing us to kick long and turn the ball over. That's it in a nut shell for me.
So here is what I really want to know from Dimma regarding the game -
Questions to Dimma
1 Why did the game change so dramatically from half time?
2 What are we doing to combat this tactic going forward?
3 How can we find space to play our game when the players are fatigued and the opposition are manning up on us?
4 Who is going to replace White as our sub to give us the run we desperately need as games wear on?
Thank you

Did anyone tell him we kicked 3 goals in three quarters? :o
-
Watching that you'd think we won the game. Beat them in the stoppages, contested possession, clearances, tackles, forward 50 turnovers etc. Most of Hardick's KPI's were met yet we got smashed. Imagine what would happen if his KPI's weren't achieved? lol. Talks about ball security and how we turned the ball over and that we need to improve this area. Doesn't mention why this was the case and what we need to do to improve this. Have never heard him talk about the need for more running support, more open space, more options for the ball carrier, more teamwork, more polish on the outside, more lead up options in our forward line, more spread etc. he's one dimensional and all he's concerned about are his stats on stoppages. Appears has no idea that we are getting smashed on the outside and in open play. Seems like he's got the blinkers on and just sees the action in the stoppages. When the ball goes on the outside he loses complete sight of the game. The more i listen to him the more I'm concerned about the direction he is taking us.

Good comments Harry.
It was good to relive the 4 or 5 little gutsy pieces of tiger play from the other night, no mention of the other 118 minutes?
I will however give him an 8/10 for acting, he was adequately sheepish in this video, he looked like a husband that got home at lunchtime Sunday from an all night bender, it's a wonder a little tear didn't roll down his cheek, I gave it 4 bills

‘Dimma’ explains Richmond’s hit-outs to advantage and the players’ tackling pressure were integral to the Tigers’ 43-point win over the Brisbane Lions last Thursday night.
The coach also addresses the talking point of Jack Riewoldt’s game, highlighting his ability to consistently lead and present as a forward-50 option.
-
Great to see everything went well against the mighty Lions. Hawks should be a pushover.

Dimma's weekly chook feeding report gets more meaningless as the team's performance gets worse. Where's Stig when you need him? Some member feedback might be indicated. And as for Max Bailey's report on the development squad
... How much did we win by again?

Did he explain why a dud team in the Lions were able to show us up on the outside all night, often going back to forward with link up plays, albeit often turning it over into the forward 50 due to their lack of precision footskills?
If that was Hawthorn, we would have lost by 100+

Actually spoke quite well about the issues we are having. Shame we don't have a 30min show like "The Club" or "The Hangar" to cover the rest. ;D
-
Dimma has copped his whack this week. We've always said he's done fantastically well to achieve finals, where many have failed.
He did speak very well, but needs to adjust things and his future rests on how stubborn / flexible he is.
-
We've got to work on a lot it seems..
-
Dimma still has a chance of turning this ship around and salvaging something. The season is shot imo, but we can still get a hell of a lot out of it. By seasons end I would love to have a pretty good idea on the future of helbig, Dea, Gordon, Lloyd, Arnott, Miles. They may all prove to be not good enough but I want to know for sure by watching them play 5-10 games on the trot, instead of watching the usual retreads go about the mediocre business. I want to see a bit of Elton and darrou, maybe McIntosh and McBean towards the end of the season to see if they can bring anything to the table.
-
The clips which he highlighted showed the Tiges asleep at the post.
Bad sign. Hope they turn it around and wake up soon, or else this season will be shot. we should at worst have been 3-3 and most likely should have been 4-2 instead of 2-4. Long way back from here.
-
It's similar to coming out and saying that the world has a major issue with poverty and global warming, the easy part is identifying the problem because it stands out like doggie jewels, it's finding a quick solution that's the problem. With the cattle we have available and the lack of confidence apparent within the squad I just don't see how its going to be an easy fix. 6 rounds in and whilst these problems have been identified by Hardwick since round 1 he still hasn't fixed anything.

If TM doesnt need to see the videos because he sees it all in a game, then i highly doubt the opposition will be gleaning anything they didnt already know from them?????
-
Dimma and the team should be watching how you properly shut down a team. Swans making our defensive patterns look downright amateurish against the Hawks. Staying with their man, hassling, spoiling and basically applying so much pressure that there is the inevitable turnover. Not how we do it with opposition players given 20 metres space and then Grigg doing start jumps on the mark, no comparison.

Allowing the Demons to score 7.2 from stoppages and Richmond’s own poor goal conversion were key areas that led to the Tigers’ 17-point loss to Melbourne.

You think Dimma might be sick of these by about round 15, he basically points out what blind Freddy can see but just can't do anything about it, can't really see a point to the exercise to be honest.

Greatly improved goal-kicking accuracy by Richmond led to the team’s big win over the Giants on the weekend. After analysing the match, ‘Dimma’ also says the Tigers’ ability to score 9.3 from stoppages, (compared to the Giants 1.3), was key to Richmond’s win over GWS.

Dimma: ‘We couldn’t stop the Kangaroos’ transition’.
Edit:
* Lost contested ball in second half by 26 (48 - 74). Primary reason for the loss and why North outscored us by 10 goals in the second half. In the first half we were +2 for contested ball. Main way to win contested ball is to get numbers to the contest and outnumber the opposition. Did that in first half (showed examples) but we were outhunted and outnumbered at contests by North in the second half.
* We didn't restrict North's transition. In first half North's transition from D50 was 23% for 0.2; in second half it was 37% for 3.3. When you are being beaten in the contested ball, you're not getting your hands on the footy and chasing tail which tires you out. You don't get what we call that "offensive rest".
* Top 8 sides are the top 8 sides in contested ball. Last year we were #2 in the AFL; this year we are #14. Primary reason why we are not where we want to be. Fix that and the rest of our game will improve. This week the focus will be contested ball and outnumbering the opposition at contests.

'Hi Tiger fans and welcome to this week's spin free edits..
'We started like a house on fire for the first time in this year against half decent opposition because Rex Hunt's jumper presentation actually fired us up for a change which was pleasing.'
'Look I wish I could get as much passion out of my side as Rex because after he went home, I gave my HT speech & we did the total opposite..'
'We've shown time and time again now that we're a team of front runners, who fall to pieces when the opposition get a run on.
Although we've practiced how to stop teams endlessly running over us like a freight train, the players are as dumb as a box of hammers and as weak as pee when it comes to applying it on game day.
They obviously stopped listening to me a while back which is disappointing.. actually screw that it's poohouse and ageing me by the minute. However we'll continue to work on it because I'm contracted for another two and a half seasons.'
'The facts are that nobody in our extremely well paid leadership group gives a whimper when the game is on the line and the rest of the list is crap and slow as treacle. When Tripod beat Lids' one on one I knew our goose was cooked. We'll probably try and use Brett to help us land a big fish at seasons end. Think I'll get Dan Richardson to mention we've got lots of money to try and buy a player who'll play the Richmond way..whatever that is.'
'Next week we play Fremantle at the G who'll most likely pants us but get along anyway because we're giving away something from our sponsors in the hope you'll show up. Sportsbet are offering pretty juicy odds on us too.
Anyway hang tough or hang yourselves Tiger fans.'

Last year we had Shane Tuck who I enjoyed dropping many times before finally being able to get rid of him. Now all we have is poo. I was forced to play Miles but one player cannot make up for all the poo that I have brought into this club during my tenure. Though I was scared that he might. Luckily I have been able to keep Arnot in the reserves or he might have actually had a helping hand. Hopefully Miles will have a bad game so I can drop him because I really want that number 1 draft pick now that everyone knows how poo I am as a coach. I played all the available slow players on our list and extra talls to ensure that we had no run in the second half when predictably the opposition went man on man. I so love our game plan, if it wasn't for the minor flaw of it being terrible when the smallest amount of defensive pressure is applied, I could be pooing on a nice big premiership cup.

Loyd criticism of Cotchin against Sydney: "Sideways, Backwards, Chips"
Cotchin: "Criticising Lloyd" "2nd highest metres gained"
Hardwick having a crack at Lloyd: "poor criticism" "meters gained he led" "bizarre comment" "dont let the facts get in the way of a good story"
Lyon: According to champion data, Cotchin was 13th, 8th out of the Richmond players for meters gained. (This in a 30+ possession game).
A couple of things I took out of this.
1) Both Cotchin and Hardwick have the same smug, arrogant, smartass attitude to the media. Something they haven't earned or deserve. They are so similar in their attitude that it is disgusting. You know how Cotchin gained the captaincy. (Coaches pet).
2) Neither has any idea what the meters gained by Cotchin was against Sydney. Big difference between first, second and 13th.
3) The club, Hardwick or Cotchin are either extremely incompetent (how can your data be so wrong) or incredibly dishonest. Trying to deflect by attacking anyone that legitimately criticizes them.

There was also a good infographic on talking footy, where 4 out of the top 10 players for one, two handballs were Richmond players.

A couple of things I took out of this.
1) Both Cotchin and Hardwick have the same smug, arrogant, smartass attitude to the media. Something they haven't earned or deserve. They are so similar in their attitude that it is disgusting. You know how Cotchin gained the captaincy. (Coaches pet).
2) Neither has any idea what the meters gained by Cotchin was against Sydney. Big difference between first, second and 13th.
3) The club, Hardwick or Cotchin are either extremely incompetent (how can your data be so wrong) or incredibly dishonest. Trying to deflect by attacking anyone that legitimately criticizes them.

Loyd criticism of Cotchin against Sydney: "Sideways, Backwards, Chips"
Cotchin: "Criticising Lloyd" "2nd highest metres gained"
Hardwick having a crack at Lloyd: "poor criticism" "meters gained he led" "bizarre comment" "dont let the facts get in the way of a good story"
Lyon: According to champion data, Cotchin was 13th, 8th out of the Richmond players for meters gained. (This in a 30+ possession game).

Thats like saying, whats wrong with kicking or hand balling the footy.
Nothing wrong with it except if your constantly going backwards and sideways. Cotchin was looking for the 3rd hand ball against Sydney after running from the center of the ground to the wing with two sideways handballs. Chaplin still in the middle ignored him, but it took his focus away from looking forward. Tigers hand ball themselves into trouble and to pad stats, not to go forward. Four out of ten is a pretty strong indictment on the game plan.

It was the St Kilda presser but Hardwick was clearly referring to the swans game. The criticism was of the swans game. Have another watch of the presser if you can handle listening to that supercilious tool.

4 out of 10 on its own shows nothing.
Look at the bloke that heads the list. Extending your logic it would seem that it means he is always going backwards or sideways, which he is not. He works hard to get to the contest and get anoher possession, as does cotchin most of the time.
I fully agree that we tend to go one handball too many and get back into trouble when we have used a chain of handballs to get out, but most of the time this is not 1-2 handballs.
Most 1-2 handballs are 1 to a stationary player, then 2 back to a moving player, so all that list does is how those who run on rather than stop after disposing. It shows nothing about the direction or effectiveness of them.

Dimma: ‘A good win, but we need to improve offensively’
The Tigers’ ability to dominate clearances and scores from stoppages went a long way to securing Richmond's 25-point win over Brisbane. However ‘Dimma’ says the Tigers still have some work to do to improve their ball use inside 50 and force more forward half turnovers.

However ‘Dimma’ says the Tigers still have some work to do to improve their ball use inside 50 and force more forward half turnovers.
That has been the issue for years. Even last year, we won plenty of ball, plenty of I50s but have never been able to convert the dominance. Its not the type of thing that will sort itself out in a week on the training track. Needs to be the primary off season focus, from a structural and an execution perspective, in fact it should have been the focus last off season (rather than learning to play a possession game plan).
-
We used to hold the ball in there better defensively as well. Forward line has gone backwards in a big way.

Lost interest here as well. The club has made too many mistakes but I thought I would give the new format a try.
So the game review (captain obvious review) is gone and we get questions from the fans that Dimma doesn't really answer.
Didn't say why Gordon, Lloyd and Lennon aren't getting games. Just waffled on about how wonderful they were. Avoided the Knights question completely. Would love to have been told what he thinks they need to do to get regular games or deficiencies they need to work on. Even areas they have improved since coming to the club to demonstrate that their system is working.
Deledio. Great he is playing as a forward now but he was a brilliant forward first year he came to the club. Should have been playing there for years. The idea that he needs to learn how to play this role when instinctively he is an attacking player is a misunderstanding of the player they have. Probably same sort of misunderstanding of talent that saw Dusty at Half Back.
Griffiths. A lot of captain obvious waffle. I get the impression he doesn't have a firm opinion on this topic.
No closer to understanding why Dimma thinks we get beaten in the middle for center clearances. Was he suggesting Maric can't compete in the ruck? If that is his view, I am not impressed.
Can't see this new format or any other format working when you have Dimma as the spokesperson. He doesn't know how to relate to fans. We want insight, not waffle and rhetoric. Gordo's running ability was all I was able to take away from this video which I believe has been mentioned previously. Apart from that, I feel dumber for watching it.

-------------------------------------------------
Dimma said the reason he used the sub so late was because there wasn't anyone underperforming to take off for Lennon and eventually they decided to take off a 3rd defender (Batchelor) because it was wet and the Adelaide tall forwards weren't marking the ball.

Dimma's first dissection for the new season (Round 1):
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-04-08/dimmas-dissection-r1
Summary
* Tackling has improved and it's something we've working on over the summer. We still expect it to go up another level also. We judge ourselves on our tackling effectiveness rather than the total number of tackles. Against Carlton we went at 73%. On another point, the reason why we have our arms out as we go to tackle is to not only make ourselves look 'bigger' but to go for the opponents arms. Players these days are so good at getting their arms free in a body tackle that all sides now go for an arm. With the stricter interpretation of the holding the ball rule, we want to take advantage of it (by grabbing an arm) and get more free kicks.
* Centrebounce work was really disappointing. We were down 2-7 in the first quarter. We had a down day in the office but we went through them and a number of them were the result of our set-ups being alright but our technique being poor. There were also a couple of unlucky bounces that favoured Carlton. The most disappointing thing was we gave up 5 goals from centrebounces which is something you'd expect over a few weeks rather than all in one game. The heat was put on our midfield at quarter time - we started to rectify the result from then on but didn't get the result that we were after. Dimma expects that to be better this week.

Good sides been tackling the arms for 10 years, dimmer.

lol barely 50 tackles a game just wont cut it. boy they sure know how to sugar coat things. getting down and dirty is still a big problem. if steve morris is anything to go by they have a long way to go to work on effectiveness. lol the excuses just keep on coming.
last yr we ave just 63 tackles a game we came 15th for ave tackles laid. finishing in front of just carlton, adelaide and melbourne. we ave 63.5 melb ave 63.4 thus going within a whisker of bottom 3and hardwick doesnt judge em on the number laid thats hilarious. just 51 tackles last week already 12 below our shizen ave from last yr and its not a worry it seems. its head in the sand stuff.
please dimma stop the b/s we can handle the truth honestly. id rather you acknowledge it a problem rather than spin it in a nice way.
-
lol at the centre clearance comments. yep we lost badly in the 1st q, but continued to get beaten there, it became a trickle rather than a flood. gotta love the spin.
im not a big fan of clearance stats anyway they arent the critical stat people make em out to be. but clean ball out of the middle puts any team under pressure. the stat that i dislike is we got beaten in the c/p count marginally granted but we still got beaten.
imo anyone who places any sort of faith in what these bozoes say in the media are looking for disappointment. the only place i see these sort of articles is basically on this site, every time i open up thread and read what they say i nearly always wish i hadnt wasted my time. they say what people want to hear and go out of their way to defend what they do or dont do well.

That wasn't even good spin. As you pointed out Claw we were below our average of last year and it may prove to just be a one off for the year but that is not a sign of improved tackling. If tackling had improved wouldn't it only be logical that our numbers would also go up? Or have they decided that they are such great tacklers now they don't have to attempt as many?
-
Possession counts for both sides were down about 15% on last year. So I would hazard a guess that they may contribute to fewer tackles.

So when your kpi's are down in tackling, all they have to do is change the kpi from quantity to quality.

Tackling stats are one that I always take with a grain of salt. Who can tell me exactly what defines a tackle. There are many efforts per game that are great and put lots of pressure on the opposition yet dont get a tackle stat. I know this applies to all of players and teams but I find the stat one of the least useful in determining output.

they at least give an indicator of pressure.. even an attempted tackle shows theres been some sort of pressure applied to the ball carrier. with so few laying tackles no wonder we have to give blokes like morris a defensive role .
its been evident for yrss we dont tackle we dont hunt players we dont go both ways and imo lack aggression and mongrel. for many byrs most on here have seen it and complained about the defensive side of our game.
i think we are entitled to feel a little amused when hardwick comes out with that crap. its gone from no no we dont tackle we herd players to no no its not about the number but how well they lay the odd tackle.
the trouble is hes tried to put a spin on things when he should just have been honest and said we didnt lay enough tackles and are looking at it or just said nothing. we dont need the b/s well i dont anyway.

I cant see how this replies to what I said about me taking Tackling stats with a grain of salt. I wasn't commenting on Spin or anything else, just Tackling stats which I find unhelpful and don't really reflect the game.
I would like to add something that might back up what I was saying. Now I cant cut a clip from my foxtel recording but there is 20 second of play in the third quarter that makes my point very well. From about the 4:50 left to go there was a series of tackles (or pressure acts) that resulted in us getting a holding the ball call against Carlton. Now I don't have the second by second stats for those 20 second but my guess that the only tackle stat that was given was the final holding the ball tackle. At least 6 Tigers got hold of a Carlton player or put them to the ground in that 20 seconds. You wont see that from the tackle stats and some wont even see it watching the game. If you watch it you might also notice that this is time that Griff put Gibbs down twice in that 20 second in a time he was supposedly not involved and quiet, but thats another subject. I love my stats (anybody that has seen my Supercoach or Dreamteams over the years would know that) but they don't tell the full story and should not be used in isolation, especially tackle stats.

I was going to add the Morris point into the first argument but figured was already taking a bit with the tackles argument and Griff thrown in. Suppose I could of killed three birds with the one stone.
-
Lids was asked about Morris on that Ch 31 show and he felt the umps paid frees against Morris because going in so hard looked worse than it was.
-
I thought Morro's game was unacceptable & I would think he would want to improve his output considerably if we expect to be a finals team
-
another blinder by morris i see lol. once again just 51 tackles. this time the lack of pressure bites. they went inside 50 less than us had no talls to speak of but they managed what 14 15 goals and what was really a comfortable win.
morris had a whopping 8 disposals laid an impressive 1 tackle and unluckily didnt hit the scoreboard. was just as bad as last week if not worse. its a real success this move to the fwd line. i mean to say we are all happy kicking 3 goals in a half of footy and steve isnt a part of that problem though is he.
never mind defend away fellas its golden.

Dimma's dissection - Round 2:
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2010-04-14/dimmas-dissection-round-2
Summary:
* From 56 forward 50 entries to only score 9 goals was really disappointing and to be 30 points down before 3/4 time was un-Richmond-like.
* We had more possession and had a disposal efficiency of 74% but there's another stat Champion Data gives us called "giveaways" which quantifies error rates. These "giveaways" are turnovers due to poor disposal or poor judgement straight to the opposition or to the advantage side of an opposition player (as opposed to a "takeaway" which is being beaten by an opponent in a 1-on-1 contest). Against Carlton we had 19 'giveaways' whereas against the Bulldogs we had 35 which is by too many.
Examples:
- Ellis kick out of defensive 50 is marked by Honeychurch -> leads to a Bulldogs' goal.
- Batchelor kick across half-back missed the target and bounces sideways between Ellis & Vlastuin -> Boyd intercepts and leads to a Bulldogs' goal.
- Kick out of defence goes to a contest. We had reasonable representation with Petterd, Hunt & Cotchin defensive side but unfortunately Cotch peels off leaving Bontempelli free. The front and square punch goes straight to Bontempelli -> leads to a Bulldogs' goal.
- A kick out of defence to the wing goes to a 3-vs-3 contest. We are outmarked which should never happen with a 3-vs-3 -> leads to another Bulldogs' goal
Not taking away anything from the Bulldogs but these goals are from our own errors we gave away. We're better than that as a side but we need to erradicate these errors.
* Dimma praised Rance's 13 intercepts [showed vision of them]. He is 1st/2nd in the AFL for this.
* In summary, we know what went wrong against the Bulldogs and we will work on this at training so it's right for the Brisbane game.
-
if you watch this video you will see why Dimma has probably taken us as far as he can

Dimma's dissection for the big win over Brisbane ...

Back to the topic ppl.
Dimma talking about our pressure and intensity inconsistency:
Q. Pressure acts and intensity - How to get the players to bring that level of intensity and hardness at the contest to every round?
A. Probably the art of coaching in essence. Funnily enough our best offensive games are based off our defensive capacity also. Cotchin lead from the front in that area against Brisbane - he had 10 possession gains in our forward half which is a stat you don't see very often. He set the scene in regard to that. Our players were disappointing in that effort against the Bulldogs. Really pleased with the effort on the weekend. We saw a lot of Richmond players come into the screen at speed to place tackle pressure. Our pressure put Brisbane under enormous pressure and applied pressure on the night. Managed to create 30 forward-half turnovers which is a terrific result for us. So from our point of view, it's something we've been focusing on. We knwo we play our best footy when that is first and foremost in our mind and we'll be looking to do the same against the Dees this weekend. We know it's going to be a high tackle, high contested and high stoppage game. We've got to come with our very best and I've got no doubt the boys will live up to that and get the result we're after.

Dimma's dissection for the Melbourne defeat ...
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2010-04-28/dimmas-dissection-r4
--------------------------------------------
Q. Asked about having more inside 50s yet losing. Is it more about leaking easy goals on the rebound?
Dimma: Leaking easy goals on the rebound means there's been an overall structural breakdown. A combination of poor kicks to top of the 50 arc which Dimma calls the "trampoline zone", mistackles as opposition tries to break out, and losing critical contests with the opposition's exit kick which allows the ball over the back.
Q. Why do we kick to the pockets where the conversation rate is 20% when shots in front could end up in us kicking 15.6?
Dimma: We did go to the pockets but Melbourne defend the arc very well and the only space is in the pockets.
However, we kicked on Friday night:
3.8 from the corridor which went a long way to costing us the game.
1.10 from between 30-50m out.
3.6 from set shots.
Bad kicking leads to bad footy and it's been a coming theme for us this year. If you don't take your chances early, you fail to put scoreboard pressure on the opposition and it comes backs to bite you. Showed gettable misses by Griffo x3, Lloyd, Jack and Cotch. Jack's around the corner technique has been scrutinised but he has 80 shots at week at training do it and normally goes at 80-90%. We're normally good with our goalkicking rated #3 in the AFL in 2014. So we'll work to get it right again.
* We sit 2-2 and 9th which is not where we want to be. We wanted to be 3-1 or 4-0 after the first block of 4 games. However, we remain positive starting with Geelong this weekend.

I thought that too Al. After half time alot of our blokes were slipping and sliding as if they still wore their moulds instead of wearing the longer stops. Cardinal sin. My junior coach would always drag us off if we wearing moulds and lost our footing and it was wet.

Dimma's dissection for the Geelong loss:
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-05-06/dimmas-dissection-round-5
--------------------------------------------
* We prefer Astbury down back but his efforts up forward on the weekend show he can be a swingman for us which we will use.
* We'd like to see Vlastuin become a different sort of Houli. At the moment, Floss is winning his footy in contested situtations. We'd like to see more run and rebound so he can use his elite footskills and decision making more. We'd also like to play him in the midfield but at this stage he doesn't have the tank to play long periods in there.
* We didn't leave Harry Taylor free. Harry is just an elite reader of the play and he used the inexperience of his young opponent Lennon to know when Lennon wasn't going to be used and when he could play off him. We tagged Harry in the second half.
* There's an old saying that you're not as good as you think you are when things are going well and you're not as bad as you think you are when things aren't going for you. All our KPIs are up and improving. We're the only side along with Hawthorn that has won the Inside 50 count in all of our games. It's just that we are making fundamental errors at crucial times (under pressure against Geelong whose pressure was very good). So while we're disappointed being 2-3 and where we are on the ladder, we know we're not far away from turning it around. We need to keep reinforcing this to build up confidence within the playing group.

Stats are killing Dimma. He has lost all the 'instinct' of coaching footy.
Every week he finds another stat that we have won and goes with it.
He would be better off looking at the stats we are winning and work out why it isn't equating in goals.
Perfect example is winning the inside 50's every week and not kicking a winning score. Our forward set up is the worst in the AFL. Not only don't we have someone deep after a centre bounce so if God forbid we win a clearance we have Jack standing 10m off the square with 10 blokes in front of him, we have nothing to kick too.
Also how about trying to isolate players in the forward 50! We have Jack, Dusty and Cotch that could almost kick enough goals between them each week to win most games if we could only isolated them deep.
So sick of hearing stats come out of his mouth.
-
How about this stat Dimma:
Points for vs points against. Win that one every week and you'll have a winning team on your hands!

Dimmer & Dimmer is coach of the year ....... in hindsight.

Dimma's dissection for the North loss:
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2010-05-12/dimmas-dissection-rnd-6?camefrom=EMCL_629826_27202846
--------------------------------------------
Q. Dimma keeps saying it's 'a poor 10 mins or quarter' that costs us. Is it not that we can't go with teams when they lift a gear?
Hardwick:
The 3rd quarter cost us dearly due to our errors. We tried to force kicks. Showed the example of Miles going short to Grigg in a 50/50 contest which resulted in a North goal. Kicks like that are indefensible for our defence. If you turn over the ball in those dangerous positions, it's going to always cost you. Showed another example - Maric kicking a floater out of defensive 50 which is easily read and marked by a North player = another Roos goal. There were a number of goals conceded over the back by our turnovers on offence. Defensively we were okay but our offence killed our defence on the day.
Q. How can we have so many Inside 50s and only score from a low percentage? This is not a new issue, so why hasn't it been fixed to date?
Hardwick:
Yeah you're probably right. North are as good as anyone in this situation. They are a fold back side and do a lot of attacking from their back half. You can see all their numbers in our forward line. What we have to get better at (i) stopping them from marking it and (ii) bringing the ball down to ground level. From a scoring to inside 50 ratio, we are only just below the league average. What we aren't getting the benefit of is that our scoring accuracy isn't great and we aren't getting goals from snaps. We are getting goals from marking situations. Showed vision of the ball going inside 50 and at ground level we lose a 3 vs 3 50/50 situtation. Another example was Houli, not seeing other open targets and kicking to Jack who was outnumbered 3-to-1. Once again, an area we can improve and we will work on over the coming weeks.
Q. Batchelor seems to be improving as a player. What do you put this down to?
Hardwick:
Jake has had a great season so far. We've been impressed as his workrate has improved. He got himself incredibly fit over the summer. He's back to his physical best and he is going for his marks in defence and winning the ball back from the opposition. You notice when he is in his best form, his got his kicking boots back on. He's got a really damaging left foot. He's been playing on some really good opposition players and we've been pleased with his season thus far. Still feel he's got a lot of improvement left in him.
Hardwick:
All in all, a really disappointing loss due to 15 minutes of bad footy. If you don't come with your consistency of performance, you're going to get beaten most times. So we've just got to work on ironing out that inconsistency and get the wins on the board. So we look forward to this week's game against the Pies.

Dissection of the bleeding obvious is always a waste of time, he must absolutely loathe putting this thing together, must be the lowlight of his week. The sooner we get a new coach with different methods and ideologies the quicker we will see an end to this clap trap. I get the feel that the playing group is quickly losing faith in the coaching staff generally even though its not something that would be aired publicly, maybe that explains some of the inexplicable errors they are making, the seed at this stage may only be planted in their subconscious but its translating through to their performance on game day.

Wow Hardwick is scrambling. Looks a defeated man. The rot is in and another Tiger coach in a long line looks on the way out.. :(

Dissecting Dimmer.
Quotes from weekends presser.
"The inconsistency of performance of some of our players is not good enough. We've got to find players that are prepared to put their hand up and play the Richmond way."
One would argue the point that the players whose performances are in question have indeed gone backwards.
This suggests the problem for the decline is more an inability to communicate an already flawed game plan and leadership culture, both of which Hardwick is responsible for.
Refreshing would be to hear him admit partial blame....and mean it.
----------------------------------------------------
""I'll still back all of my players in. At stages they can play better than what they have today, there's no doubt about that, but we also have to be looking forward to those players who are prepared to play how we want to play, take the game on and play at a standard that's acceptable at AFL level."
Conflicting statements.
Suggest a level of softness at the coaching core.
Unable to Instil professional discipline by basically defending the under performers.
-------------------------------------------
"We've just got to make sure we continue to blood those players and get them into the side."
It's a proven fact, Hardwick is out of touch with the talent at his so called disposal.One has to look no further than Miles, finally being given a game (through the injury of another) and at worst proving he's a starter who was left to languish in the VFL.
Arnot is another strong bodied kid with more to offer the future of the club than Chris Newman.
McBean - well, how long do you need to develop a guy? Another mishandling or perhaps misunderstanding of development, of which there are many.
----------------------------------------------------------------
On the loss itself-
It's a hard one to fathom," he said.
"You look at it, but at the end of the day it comes down a to a 15-minute block in the third quarter.
Sorry, Dimmer. It comes down to so much more.
Instead of ignorantly isolating every bad performance as an individual issue, try looking at common denominators in your losses. The team were never going to win. Your statistical rants only compound the frustration and angst from supporters who, believe it or not, understand the game as well as if not better than you.
-----------------------------------------
"They had nine inside entries for the quarter and they kicked 7.2. Some of them from our horrible turnovers and the game is all of a sudden out of reach. Turnovers. They were horrible turnovers you can't defend."
Those horrible turnovers he speaks of.its about moulding a team...one that has a forward structure. When you DONT have a forward structure, one needs to expect a high percentage of turnovers, Damien.
May I also suggest he learn how to be strategically combative when faced with a match day injury or two. Like any battle, such decisions need to made and implemented in the moment. Another sign of insipid leadership at the coaching helm.

From a scoring to inside 50 ratio, we are only just below the league average
Is there really any comment needed on this statement?????

A happier Dimma's dissection of the win over the Pies:
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-05-20/dimmas-dissection-rnd-7
----------------------------------------
* Praised our leaders Cotch (his best game of the year with the Brisbane game a close second), Lids and Ivan.
* Happy to finally see some return on the scoreboard as far as kicking straight. We've struggled in our first quarters this year mainly due to inaccurate goalkicking. Freo has kicked 20.11 in first qtrs whereas we have kicked 11.21. The boys have been working on our goalkicking and we'll continue to practice it.
* Pleasing to win on the weekend with 5 first year players in the team. We have to mindful about getting the balance right between getting the wins now and the direction of the where the team is heading in the future. Impressed with Corey's Ellis' footy smarts; happy with McBean's game - should have had two goals; we through Elton into the deep end on Cloke but we like how is developing and as he ticks a number of the athletic boxes we like to see in our defenders; Menadue probably got a game earlier than we would've liked but he had earnt it. He offers a lot athletically and is a good kick.

A happier dimma this week :lol

Dimma's latest dissection - the win over Port ...
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-05-27/dimmas-dissection-rnd-8
Q. How have we managed to win the past two games despite losing the inside 50 count? Surely this is an important stat?
Dimma: Yes it's an important stat to us. A couple of reasons for why we lost the inside 50 count on the weekend - (i) Port won the centre clearances comprehensively so they got a few clear first entries out of the middle; (ii) our scoring efficiency inside 50 has improved. We're now top 8 for F50 efficiency. So we didn't have/need the repeated entries to kick a goal as a result. We need to work on and win the centre clearances against Essendon.
Q. Tackling over the past two weeks have become better. Do you think this has had much impact in our turnaround?
Dimma: It has improved but it's more the intensity from the guys we've brought in - Taylor Hunt had 7 tackles; Shaun Grigg, who is in career best form, had 5-6 tackles as did Ben Griffiths. What we've found is the more speed we've brought into the side (eg: McIntosh, Menadue), these guys can cover the ground more and faster so we're getting better results from our tackling numbers. In saying that, Port are a high stoppage side which lends itself to a game of more tackling.
Over the past two weeks, we've won both the contested footy and tackling count. If you do that then you win games 80% of the time. We want this to continue obviously and we've done a lot of work on this but it's more to do with the defensive systems Ross Smith has brought in. Not only are we tackling well but we are keeping sides to low scores.
Q. Can you tell us your impressions of the rise and rise of Kamdyn McIntosh?
Dimma: He's been in the system for 3-4 years and been unfortunate with respect to injuries. He's now finally getting a fantastic run at it this year. What a number of fans don't see is his work off the ball which we reward as coaches. Kamdyn's become a very important player. Credits Chocco, Tim Clarke and the development coaches who have put a lot of work with Kamdyn. The great news is we've got similar players coming through. Already seen Menadue and Corey Ellis debut this year. We're impressed with Jason Castagna who played well again in the VFL; unfortunate is out for 2 weeks with an ankle. We've had the most debuts this year and they've all shown something.
-----------------
On the Essendon game - we're looking forward to it. Haven't won a Dreamtime game for 4-5 years so we want to buck the trend there. Get there and get behind us and have a great night.

VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-06-03/dimmas-dissection-r9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I think Brett Deledio has found his position as a forward that sometimes plays mid. Why do you think he excels at this position?
Dimma:
Brett is one of those players who is difficult to match up on. He's got incredible speed, he's a fantastic contested mark and also an incredibly smart player. He has always been a player who found the footy in an uncontested situation but one of the reasons his game has gone to another level in the past 12-18 months is his contested game has also improved. He doesn't get the recognition and plaudits for the quality footballer he is from the media and at times from myself - I don't give him enough credit. He's a very important player and no doubt when he comes back into the side he improves us - not only because he's a quality player but due to the flexible positions he can play, be it deep in the goalsquare; into the midfield; across half-forward. He's been a very good player for us this year. Probably wished he could kick that goal in the third term which would've pushed our lead out to a more managable level. He's had a terrific year thus far even though he's missed a number of games but the games he has played have been high quality.
Q. Whilst Essendon looked dangerous at times with their marking inside forward 50, we did manage to keep them below their season average. Do you think we have finally got the back 6 mix right?
Dimma:
They only took 10 marks inside F50 which is on their season average. What hurt us was they took 5 contested marks. The previous highest we've conceded was 4 and we're one of the better sides at not conceding contested marks. So to give up 5 was disappointing. Got to give credit to Carlisle who we thought was outstanding. Overall though, we thought our defence stood strong. We've got more a Back 7 with Hunt, Houli and Vlastuin coming off the bench. We're pleased with how they're going but we still feel they have room for improvement. What is great about the footy club at the moment, is you look at guys like Grimes and Batchelor really stood up and played some hard, tough footy and they're finally getting some consistency in their bodies to make sure they are regular best 22 players. So our Back 7 has done a terrific job thus far. They are going to have no bigger test than against Fremantle this Friday.
Q. Do you think Shane Edwards should be in the first All-Australian squad when it's announced?
Dimma:
I think Shane is a terrific talent. He can do things not many other players can. What he can do, for a player of his size, is win contested footy. He is averaging 10 contested possessions per game which is outstanding. [Dimma shows vision of Titch at HF waiting for the right pass to Grigg inside F50] Three years ago he was rushing his disposals and making errors. He still does that now and then [Dimma laughs] but he's an outstanding talent. Fair to say, he's improved every year since Dimma has been coach which we are very pleased with. He would be very close to an All-Australia top 40 spot at this stage. He's still got some upside for us as he could kick a few more goals. He's outstanding in the middle of the ground but we feel he can contribute a bit more on the goal front. What he does do is create goals for others and a measure of a good player for mine is how good you make others around you and he is one of those players. That mark on the HBF/wing late in the game was crucial. He's been an outstanding player for us thus far and we hope that continues to help our march up the ladder.
------------------
* Wish us luck on the weekend. I'm very confident in our players that we have the game to take it up to the Dockers. It's going to be a big test but we're looking forward to it.

Dimma's dissection for the round 10 win over Fremantle
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-06-11/dimmas-dissection-r10
----------------------------------------------------------------
Q. It appears more than a coincidence that the Tigers play well on the road. Without giving secrets away, is there a factor behind this, a strategy or a process that focuses the group on the challenge at hand OR they just enjoy the road trip?
Dimma:
You're right, we've had a good record interstate over the past 2-3 years. We do follow the exact process we use week in, week out with our travel. We fly late, we train, have dinner and then basically go to bed; then up the next day and play. It's worked really well for us. Our sports science staff work incredibly hard with the players to make sure they're hydrated, they get enough sleep and their nutrition is spot on as well. We generally have a meeting over there on the day of the game which keeps our players in good stead. We're really pleased with the guys' ability to travel. It's really important as those interstate matches are effectively 8 point games as you're not expected to win the majority of them. So for us to beat Brisbane, Port and Freo has been a really good result for us thus far.
Q. The move of Steve Morris forward has been controversial from our side of the fence. A little more hungry on Friday night and he might have kicked three or four goals. Then you switched him back in Q4, why?
Dimma:
It has been a move that, at times, has attracted attention from the media and fans, but what we felt we needed up forward 50 was a defensive presence and Steve Morris gives us that in spades. His ability to create turnovers which we score off is very good - one of the highest at our footy club. He promotes great endeavour and intensity inside that forward 50. You're exactly right, we had to send a message at one stage to stop being a little too unselfish. There was probably three stages where he could've kicked a goal. He got the ball out 20m from goal and then ran 30m the wrong way to give off a handball to a teammate when he should have had a shot at goal. Then there was one where he tried to snap around his body a 20m pass when he was probably entitled to have a shot also. We've been pleased with is effort. We break the game down in stages - his ability to defend has been good; his ability to compete has been good; probably from an offence point of view, he has been below what we would've liked but we're seeing some trending upwards in that. He had a really good game on the weekend and we expect that to continue. If whe can get 2-3 goals for us then that's a massive result for us. So overall, it's trending in the right direction.
Q. Looks like the 3 talls are starting to click. Could we see Ty, Liam and Griff all in the side with Jack further up the field?
Dimma:
Not at this stage from our point of view. Although, they are different types of players - Liam is more like Jack in that he has the ability to go down the ground and capable at ground level. His contested marking probably has to improve from that point of view. We don't see those four playing in the same side at this stage. The three talls worked really well on the weekend. Is it going to work going forward? We hope so. We think it provides us with a great target inside forward 50. It allows Jack more freedom up the ground. You only need to look at his workrate where he covered 13km on the weekend which is a great result for us. He's not only providing a target across half-forward but his ball use inside forward 50 is very good also and he has managed to chip in with a couple of goals of his own. I thought Ty and Griff were terrific at various stages throughout the game and, more importantly, hitting the scoreboard with Ty kicking three important goals and Griff two (plus he also missed what should have been a soda on the night). Pleasing for us they are providing good defensive pressure and hitting the scoreboard.
Q. A few times in the past weeks, we've not taken the ball over the boundary when we should have. It can be costly. Should we be putting more focus on our stoppages play and causing more throw-ins?
Dimma:
[Laughs while reading the question, so it must have been right on the mark].
You make a great point. You were lucky you weren't privy to the box conversation where we were 1mm from the boundary on defensive 50, kept it in and we turned it over costing us a goal. You're right, it's happened a few times in recent weeks. We've probably been disappointed with that phase of our play. One thing that did go against us was we were playing against a side with Sandilands and Fyfe who are both very good stoppage-wise. So we probably didn't want to create too many stoppages as we knew it would come. From our point of view, it wasn't a stoppage focus game but we had to make sure we killed that dangerous ball in a couple of situations. We also made a couple of goal-line errors as well. Look, it is something we focus on and something we continue to improve and it's our job as coaches to make sure that happens.
-------------------------------------
* The plan was carried out. Our players were not only terrific in their intensity and effort but also their diligence in carrying out the plan to beat Freo. Credit to the players and the leaders.
* It was a good week. Always good to win. From our point of view, we're 6-4 with still an enormous challenge in front of us. We still feel we have a lot of improvement left in front of us. We'll enjoy the week off but our players will train both days this weekend.

Dimma's dissection for the round 13 win over the Swans ...
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-07-01/dimmas-dissection-r13
* Dimma agreed that last Friday night was Miles' best game for the year. Praised Miles' distribution of the footy and his ability to not own tackle and win the contested footy but to be used to close down a opponent who was getting too much of the ball (eg: moved onto Parker).
* Dimma said while there was an element of fire and brimstone at half-time, there's an expectation/temptation to throw the magnets around when you're 32 points down. In reality, we just reset and focused on getting back to the way we play best (winning contested footy) and our leaders standing up. We had few contributors in the first half but everyone contributed after half-time.
* Rance won 12 possession gains (either from beating his direct opponent or collecting the loose ball and clearing it out of defence). When your full-back holds the opposition's best player to two goals while your full forward kicks 6 then that goes a long way to winning the game. Jack had a great game on Teddy Richards who we rate highly. Richards like defending closer to goal and Jack is very good at pushing up and then running back into space. It's worth it to spend time just looking at Jack's movements for 5-10 minutes during a game to see his workrate.

Dimma's dissection for the round 14 win over the Giants ...
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2012-07-07/dimmas-dissection-round-14
* We didn't play incredibly well. We did okay in facets and credit to the Giants who close down our space. Took until the last quarter for us to click and go on all 8 cylinders. An ugly win but a mature win from our perspective.
* The spray at 3/4 time isn't something you do that often. Behind closed doors you are forthright and honest but to make it so public isn't something Dimma likes. Generally, it means we're doing something we shouldn't be doing which is what happened on the weekend. We weren't hard enough and we were losing critical contests either going down the line or through poor effort. So the spray was making that clear and challenging the players to take the game to a new level. It had the desired effect on the day but the fact of the matter is, if I had to do that every week then we're not going to get the results we want. So, hopefully it's a one-off and we learn from it and play the style of footy that wins us games. More importantly, believe in ourselves and the process about getting the wins on the board. Dimma said he can't recreate the spray as he doesn't remember what he said lol.
* Handling 3rd man up at ruck contests? The rules are okay although a couple of times it's hard at time for the umpires to work out who are the rucks and who are coming in as a secondary ruck option. All up I think the umps are doing their job pretty well. We knew GWS would use a 3rd man up at ruck contests, so we set-up accordingly and we ended winning the clearances, or we set up for the turnover to win it our way. We didn't use a 3rd man up as we feel we lose a player doing it and we instead often bring in a player to get the ball moving our way. So all up we're quite happy. We've exploited the rule at stages, so we just live with it.
* Centre clearances - first game in a while we've won them (12-6) and we kicked two goals from them. How crucial were they to the result?
While centre clearances are important, it's the next disposal that is crucial. The number of poor kicks inside 50 from the centre we weren't happy with. Showed vision of kicks out of the centre clearances not going deep inside 50 and being marked by opposition defenders. While we kicked two goals, we were disappointed with the cleanliness. Of course, we got that belter from Shane Edwards in the last quarter which got the game back our way. Ivan got on top over the ruck the last couple of times so we're pleased with that part of the game. He's missing this week but we have some players to replace him and get the result this week. The centre bounce is important as far as getting the ball going your way both offensively and defensively. It hasn't been as strong a part of the game as past years but we are continuing to work on it and get the ball going our way.

Dimma said this would be a blan dissection given we play the same team next week.
He mentioned we didn't play our way in the first half. We didn't come to play. There was one side hanging off thinking of finals next week, while the other was going flat chat with fringe players fighting for a spot in their best 22. That made for an even contest. In the second half, we got our game going.

Dimma's dissection video of the loss to the Pies:
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-04-05/dimmas-dissection-round-2
----------------------------------------------------
* 70 pts from turnovers. Disappointed with our ball use. Champion Data calls them "give aways" and we had 24 of them, 14 of which were unforced. From our point of view that was aa lack of skill execution. We didn't use the ball well and we gave the opposition 14 unforced errors which are the ones that really hurt you as they go the other way (i.e. opposition score). There were a few that if we had used the ball correctly then we would've scored but we gave them up due to poor skill execution which was really disappointing.
* A couple of decision making errors as well. We went through those in our review. One of the challenges as coaches is trying to eradicate those mistakes and minimising those errors. Turnovers hurt and we've been pretty poor in that regard in the first two rounds.
* We do have a rule along the lines of not passing inside 50 when we've got a shot on goal. In round 1, Rioli took the advantage and missed when Jack got a free in front of goal. The other thing is clock time management. We made two errors late in the last quarter - (i) Ty passing off and (ii) Shaun Grigg taking the long shot with 4 mins to go. We tell our players to take the full 30 secs which ends up about 40-45 secs once the umps get involved. This then becomes a time management problem for the opposition with less time on the clock. Disappointed with that part of our game. We had about 4 mental errors in the last 4 mins which really cost us in the end in getting the four points.
* Missed shots on goal were a real issue. Ones we would normal kick. We kicked 3.6 from set shots in the first half. Missed a number of those from outside 40. We do a truckload of those at training. So it was disappointing. We hit the post three times. Last year, we were very good with our accuracy but this was one of those games where we failed to hit the scoreboard regularly and it came back to hurt us. We've had a number of shots in both games - we missed 7 against Carlton and missed 3-4 on the weekend. We're having lots of shots but are not taking them. We know we've just got to do better.
* Despite losing a game we should've won, we need to bounce back against Adelaide this week. So, head to Etihad in numbers and support your boys.

Dimma's dissection video of the loss to the Eagles:

--------------------------------------------------------
While injuries have not helped the Tigers, coach Damien Hardwick has plenty of headaches with how they are playing.
In particular, they have handballed too much early in the losses to Adelaide and West Coast.
The first quarter against Adelaide featured 31 kicks and 46 handballs while, last Friday night, they had 32 kicks and 28 handballs in the opening term against the Eagles.
"There's no doubt it's causing us a little bit of grief, especially early in games, with the amount of turnovers we've had," Hardwick told the club website.
"We don't want to be over-handballing for the sake of it."
Source: SBS (http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2016/04/20/tigers-hopeful-deledio-afl-return)
-
They handball because the player with the ball looks up and no one is coming for the ball because I guess the game plan is to go backwards and sideways. Start changing the game plan and the handball vs kick ratio will take care of itself.
-
Players should just make their own game plan.
This imbecile has NFI so how much worse can it be?

correct, Northey wanted an extension for job security after all the rumblings coming from that flog Mal Brown and his cronies.

May as well drop this segment along with the passengers we hope are dropped this week. The dissection basically tells me that the coaching staff are aware of what the problems are but are clueless/incapable/powerless in their quest to resolve the issues.
Its pretty much the same issues week in week out so supporters are sick of watching the games live let alone having to relive the various brain explosions all over again, its akin to Chinese water torture.
