Fwiw, I still want the useless prick gone.
LMAO at losing Caracella to Colonwood and going back to aimless footy.

I still can't see Dimma coaching us to a flag but am prepared to hold out some hope...
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I wasnt comfortable with this thread being on page 3 so lets revisit it.

FWIW i still want him sacked if we dont move forward, but facts are it wont happen until seasons end , if at all.

any comments?

he should be judged at seasons now and whilst these wins are nice, he should be judged come seasons end and especially after our september campaign if we make it.

dont progress forward then sack the bum and install blake as our coach.

Blake won't be there at seasons end.

He will be coaching Collingwood.

The only way that we will retain him is if the board puts in a succession plan and gets Dimma to agree.

Offer Dimma a promotion.

Do we have a Director of Coaching?

Why would we promote him?
8 years, $4-5 million in salary for a return of 3 possibly 4 finals campaigns. I'm not sure that even resembles a promotion.
He'd make a decent senior assistant at a club like the Bulldogs.
Neil Balme is proving we need people who have achieved elite results at other clubs in our senior positions

You all understand that this tool has been kept on simply out of the need for Piggy and Ben to justify their unprofessional decisions and club management.
Get Blake, use his nouse (fkstick clearly has nfi) and keep the token tool on, to soften the reality of how many years they wasted, both in terms of recruitment and establishing a winning culture under a winning coach.

In one way it's an admission that they're stuffn imbeciles...but sneaky dog ones.

As astute posters have stated previously a succession plan is hopefully in place or will be. The inner sanctum and players know where this improvement has come from and it wasn't from a 'cock n bull', 'road to damascus' moment where Dimma's supposed "let them play" theory was borne. Ryan ferguson said when commenting on Shia Bolton, and I quote: " we don't care about the number of possessions, we care about their impact on the game"....Hallelujah! These aren't the words of "possessions at all cost" Dimma.....no way.

Losing Caracella to Collingwood will be like when we lost Sheedy to Essendon....except without the excuse that the incumbent had just coached us to a premiership...

We need a new Captain and Coach.

How about making Rance Captain-Coach?

Should've been sacked end of last year with everyone else. Given a second chance this year, so far I'd say 5-3 isn't a bad result. What's the pass mark ?

And he'll probably get a contract extension irrespective
