Another angle on it is Matt Dea the poster boy for our under performing development team at the RFC. He improved 5 posses or 50% in a year under someone else. Maybe the review was right to sack all the development staff.

Yes sometimes this is the case with management structures. Very difficult to be effective at your job if line management don't perform in their roles. They were shown the door as will Dimma in 2017 if he doesn't lift with better support staff around him. Time will tell.

Wasn't given a proper go IMO.

Shame we let him go and pick up blokes like Hunt, Moore, Townsend etc when this bloke is genuinely tough and an honest footballer.

Yep, should have played that last half of the season he was with us. BOG in most of that years games in the two's, should have been given a go.

I wonder if this is an inherit problem with the recycled players philosophy. Younger players arent really given a go unless they are immediately outstanding or a high pick and it would look bad if the coach didn't play them.  Dimmable is known for his favorites.

Matty Dea is by no means a star but he is a better player the Batchelor who not only was kept for season 2016 but has another in 2017 when he couldn't get a game in our poo side this year.

It takes an Idiot to not know his own list and instill favourites into the squad, alternatively.

I think the proof will be this year. How many games does Dea play and how many Batch. I'm guessing 0 for Batch and 6 to 12 for Dea but you never know.

They're both spuds, talk about attacking the symptom....
