Good article to be honest.Like how he see's why the hell we were going backwards and not moving the ball quickly.Some parts dont agree with him tho saying Suns a better all over ruck no doubt.Forward line ??? we have riewolt,vickery and griffths micke thats our spine for the next 10 years.Backline I do agree a bit ,but like most journalist this year failed to mention injurys there have killed us not talk of grimes,moore or astbury who are in our best 22.Midfield I only seen ablett and swallow there what depth is he talking.Our midfeild is good ,but sometimes they dont stand up when the games in balance and they are not benefiting from a ruckman to win a tap out at all.

dimmas game plan for the last 6 weeks has been kicking short.
Going has got tough and whats happens, we go to short kicking game :banghead

You see this is where your argument loses validity Jack- you are flip flopping like a pollie

You have clearly said in this thread Dimma can't coach

In the next post you says it all about the last 6 weeks so what was the deal before then ???

or to put it more simply:

6 weeks he could coach yes or no?

Or is it your view that 6 weeks ago he couldn't coach but you didn't care becasue we were either winning or being competitive

I reckon he had a run of good luck more than anything..
No doubt of recent times the game plan has changed dramatically .
We have gone from being able to clear the ball out of D50, to not being able to clear
This is due to the short kicking game that has been introduced in recent times.
Dammed if i know why.
We have six games left for the season, in which I dont see us winning any I am afraid.
if we lose all six, who knows what happens at years end
Will see if he can coach this week.
I will be watching from home I might add.
brisbane did a great job yesterday in stopping Geelong to a certain extent
Lets see what the coach learnt from Brisbanes effort.

If we were going to tank the rest of the season how would we do it?

Nevertheless, how would you tank?

Or maybe the gameplan is the same, but players are lacking the confidence required to execute it.  Houli always seems to look to kick it long and straight, which I think is great.  More players should follow his lead.  Once we cut more dead wood at the end of the year, and recruit more good, confident, big bodied kids, we should see a decent improvement. 

I want to see a rookie cleanout at the end of the year, in addition to some of our main list.  Contin and O'Reilley should be getting games in the 1s now, but get rid of Hislop, Hicks and Westhoff.  Miller is a 50/50.  Could delist him and sign him up at Coburg, I suppose, but he provides decent structure.

For mine daniel it has to start at the top and in this case that is the captain.

He is the ultimate leader on the field and he has to set the example, followed by the v-c in Foley, then Lids, then Cotch and the rest of the leaders

In the last 4 games the lack of leadership from our Captain has been painstakenly obvious. He had won me over in the last 12 months but he's started to lose me again in the last month

Come on Powelly ? Newy played a really good game on Saturday. Wasn't his fault. He's flying solo mate
