March/The board initiated the full review of the club ops and footy dept.  So why not credit March ?

does he get credit for drafting Cotchin?

Dimma getting credit for BH.  Long bow to draw there.  That's a March, Gale, CC appointment.  Dimma may have been a reference but there is very little evidence to support that as Dimma's work.  That restructure of the Footy Dept commenced well before Dimma came on board.  Mid 2008 as I recall it.

Blair and Dimma stated it themselves at a function I attended this year.

They stated what Stripes stated about HK's statement. Get your head out of your ass, WP.

I gave him a 7.

Inherited a train wreck of a list and to be frank within half a season had us competitive with a bunch of kids after a horror start in 2010.

Will still cull at least 6-8 at the end of the year including possibly some blokes who were recruited in his era but at least now he has the team playing a consistent solid brand of footy that is competitive and all that we have wished of Tiger sides in recent years gone by.

This year has been the first year that Dimma can actually coach without having to gift games to kids and try and find a formula to build a side. His contract extension will only nurture the development of the kids and allow Dimma to continue the work he has started.

This year next year the plan is finals. To get to finals in 3 or 4 years after he took over is testamnet to him and the people who have come to the club in his time at Punt Rd.

Right now he is a 7. Finals and beyond with prolonged success and considering how success starved we are and this bloke will be getting 15's out of 10.

Very appreciative of him turning over our list of duds.

We are playing with an intensity we haven't had for ages.

Hes improving but sheesh he had to, bolstering the coaching ranks bw seasons has helped, our defense and midfield is much better and id credit alot of that to the panel. He has challenges tha t need to be overcome, i look forward to seeing him overcome conquer and destroy

5.. Still had alot more to do to change culture. If he can do that I'll give him a very high score.
The club that keeps giving.
