Dimma was interviewed tonight on 3aw by Gerard Healy and Dwayne Russell....
* Riewoldt - becoming a more all-round player and is rewarding his teammates. Addition of Brad miller has been good for that and helped educate Jack about team footy up in forward line. Barry Hall was a good example last year. Could have won the Coleman but in one game that stood out shared about 4 goals off. Dimma jokingly said he's "pumped" Hall isn't playing this week lol.
Many people were so against us recruiting Miller last year stating his place would have been better reserved for a long shot rookie. Well if his value to the team structurally isn't obvious then this quote should more than point out his value to the squad educationally. Playing coaches/leaders are rare and to gain one for the value of our last place on the list could be immeasable in the future well after he is gone from the squad.
* Bulldogs are unpredictable because they do have stars missing. We threw magnets on the board but we gave up trying to guess how they would line-up exactly.
* Membership record - terrific result and gave credit to Gary March and board for driving it.

Dimma's response to Hall's likley ommission!
With so many of there normal first liners missing it will make figuring out who to shut down and worry about more difficult but I guess it means we just have to really just concentrate on what we need to do to win the game.
