The opponent looked half his size.

I'm surprised he didn't no get concussion when all his teammates were congratulating him.


His opponent was highly rated Sam Durdin 198cm 95kg pick 16 2004 draft. Also played minutes on Hanson and towelled them both up.
He mustn't be to highly rated if he is still playing twos after being drafted 13 years ago??

2014 draft, obviously a typo

I would say lighten up but going off your match report and comments from both games everyone's a winner at Tigerland this week.

Yes - I was calling myself  :wallywink and we did win both games so we are winners at Tigerland this week. Seriously our VFL team looked fantastic much better ten the AFL side that's for sure.

Yep, we have some decent kids coming through. I cannot wait for the day these kids remove the Griggs and Houli's of this world. We will be a better club for it and hopefully won't be stuck in that middling group of AFL clubs.

It's the only way this club can actually move forward IMO.

I think most of us know how this season will end and it's nothing new.

8 years is surely long enough.

Is that because Dimma is a naughty boy?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

But it's more important that we are a stable club!
Can't be seen as sacking coaches willy-nilly just because they lose a few games can we?
After all the bombers kept Sheeds for 27years so we can't expect to be so short sighted and just give our coach the arse after a measly eight years in the job!
Let's be realistic fellas!
The most important thing is STABILITY!

As long as the boys are having fun and are trying their best.  :rollin
The club that keeps giving.

Of course, but lose a final and he won't coach beyond next year IMO.

Losing finals is something Benny and sue won't be able to ignore if it happens for a 4th time, though they have shown to pretty clueless so he may get another 4 years

So he doesn't even need to win a final now? Was that part of his cunning plan - sign the extension then play so badly last year that people will forget about the winning finals expectation that he had going into '15 &' 16 and just making finals will seem like an amazing achievement again this year, like it was in '13 & '14?  A halfstep back to the future! Genius! :clapping
