The fact that he writes "Look," in his emails tells me that either:

a: He is taking the warm yellow

or

b: Someone else is writng them and trying to sound like him

Dimma's latest email about the win over the Lions...

DIRECT FROM DIMMA
----------------------------

Dear OE,

We always knew we'd be in for a tough game against Brisbane at the Gabba last Saturday night.

After a couple of disappointing weeks, the Lions set themselves for this match and it was reflected in the way they started.  They smashed us early in contested ball and inside-50 entries, which at one stage were 10-3 in their favor.  There were a number of very heavy physical clashes and players were coming on and off the field at a pretty rapid rate.

Our players, once again, showed good character to work back into the contest after yet another bad start, but we couldn't quite get the desired result on the scoreboard from the number of shots we had.  Accurate conversion has been a real strength of ours this season, but it deserted us a fair bit on Saturday night.

Latest DIRECT FROM DIMMA is in everyone's inbox....

--------------------------------------------------
Dear OE,

It was another missed opportunity for us against Essendon on Saturday night.

We went into the game looking for a vastly improved effort from the disappointment of the Carlton game, and I thought for two and a half quarters we had the game on our terms.

The coaches were really happy with the team's ball movement, and our midfielders were getting forward and kicking goals.  Once again, we showed what we can do against quality opposition when we stick to the game plan.

Dimma's email about the Suns loss...

DIRECT FROM DIMMA
-----------------

Dear OE,

Obviously, it was a very disappointing performance against Gold Coast at Cairns last Saturday and we were all feeling pretty flat straight after the match. Going back over vision from the game just emphasised the amount of times that we didn't play according to our structure, and went away from what we set out to do.

After scoring  6.8 with the wind in the first quarter, we went in with a clear plan for kicking into it in the second term.  But with the first two phases of play in our defensive-50 area, we did exactly the opposite of what we were planning, and that resulted in Gold Coast's opening two goals
of the quarter. 

That was a particularly disappointing aspect of the game for us, but from a coaching perspective, it's a key area we can focus on to improve....

Dimma's email about the Geelong loss...


DIRECT FROM DIMMA
----------------------------

Dear OE,

It's hard enough giving any side in the competition a fair start and hoping to haul them in, let alone such an experienced, powerful combination as Geelong. Unfortunately, we produced a really disappointing first half against the Cats at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, managing just one goal to their 11.

They put us to the sword in the second term, scoring seven goals to our nil, but even at quarter-time, although we trailed by only 18 points, I think we'd had 13 or 14 less inside-50 entries to that stage. So, 10 goals down at half-time, that's basically game over, but our players, to their credit, showed admirable resolve in the second half to match it with their highly-rated opponents.

Let's hope they are not pinning hope on the 2nd half as a genuine positive.  Geelong took the feet off the pedal in the second half, particularly the last qtr, due to their training load and loss of interest.  Don't gloss over the first half Dimma, as that is the true difference between the sides.

Seemed very robotic this email.

The others atleast had some type of individuality. I could predict exactly what I was reading.

- Bad start,
- game over at half time,
-great resolve and competitive spirit to no let it be a blow out (Which I think is a cop out. Geelong took there foot off the gas and let us play on level terms.. Do this when the opposition is hunting us.. not focusing on next week)

I like Dimma but these emails after thumpings are getting a bit monotonous
