Gee. Carlton's list must be really poopy if that's the case!

Use all our funds.
Pay out Hardwick

Offer Bomber anything he wants.

Maybe he'll be the one that cleans out the stench of mediocrity from punt road.

Agree!

I'd say we already have a Roos/Longmire succession style plan for Hardwick and the poo Mark Williams.

Ayers has not been in the system since 2004.
With all money given to FTF if Hardwick got the heave ho early its big fish or watch the membership tally tumble to Nought and Bulldog levels.

I have to admit that Dimma needs to be more aggressive.

In the old days, a player who stuffs up on field pretty badly would be dragged, and this is still the same for todays footy.
The difference from then to now is, when you were dragged back then, YOU GOT DRAGGED and it meant that you may not go back on for some time, and probably a stint in the reserves the following week.

Apart from getting an ear full from the coach, opposition ground players, gave it to a dragged player as well.
All in all, dragging a player made players take responsibility for their actions at every moment of the game.

Dimma needs to take this approach as well, instead of giving a dragged player a pep talk then sending them out again, just to do the same old poo over again.

He also needs to send players back to the magoos and not give a poo who it is.

Sheedy use to do it, Malthouse use to as well.
Pagan was ruthless for it, but it doesn't happen anywhere near as much as what it should (other coaches as well that I can't think of off hand).

So Dimma, if ya listening, balls up buddy and make some really hard calls.

There's no big names available though, unless we target some over the hill big name who hasn't coached for years, like Matthews, which would be disasterous.

Sounds like a chapter from the mark Neeld coaching manual :lol

Neeld didn't drag players for long periods, no coach does these days - he just dropped them and blamed the side in general at press conferences.

In fact Hardwick's the only current AFL coach who's actually pulled the modern equivalent of a humiliating permadrag when he subbed Webberly in Cairns before half-time.
