"Big one tonight - @Richmond_FC coach, Damien Hardwick"

[one-eyed]

Dimma interviewed by Gerard Healy and Dwayne Russell.

Summary:

* Approach to the bye? After the community trip for some of the guys we gave them time off the game. Review of the Eagles game on Monday and then back to normal training. Tried to keep it as normal as possible. We've just gone about our business. We trained well given the guys had the break. Need to take that intensity into the game. Adelaide no doubt will come out firing after their disappointing effort.

* We certainly have a A-gameplan but we also have tweaks for each opposition. No different to other sides. Disappointing this year that we haven't got our offensive game up to the level we consistently want. We haven't played this year to the level we've wanted until last week against the Eagles.

* Jack only kicked 2 but he had an outstanding game. Created space for Vickery and our small forwards. Very rarely Jack plays full forward given match ups but both he and Ty are having their best seasons.

* Expect Dangerfield to go to half-back for 4 mins as part of the midfield rotation rest. We do that with Lids, Cotch and Dusty.

* Real strength last year was pushing mids like Cotch and Dusty forward. We haven't done that as much this year as we've been happy with the 3 guys we've had up forward. So we've had guys resting forward less this year compared to last year.

* Chocco Williams - wouldn't begrudge him going if offered a senior gig elsewhere but we'd be sad to lose him as he's been great for us. Dwayne Russell then mentioned a midseason offer and Dimma said he won't sleep tonight (laughs).

* Didn't get a call from Giesch about umpiring as Hird did before the Dreamtime game. Dimma said that was "bewildering". He assumed it was something Essendon instigated and there was nothing untoward. We've had a good relation with the umpiring dept. The Dreamtime game was our worst game for two years that night so it's a non issue from Dimma's perspective.

* Dimma made a call to arms for every Tiger to get to the 'G this week and cheer the boys on.

Most interesting part of it was that he said he received no call from the Giesch telling him about umpiring interpretation changes like Hird received.

Something is rotten in Denmark!

Not to mention a visit to the rooms from the maggots before the game

WHAT A ******* DISGRACE

Gale should be asking for a Please Explain from the AFL

Giesch needs to hand in his pink fluffy handcuffs and take a long walk of a short pier

   Answer seems to be staring Dimma right in the face.

Essendon getting their bottoms rubbed with lanolin?
Nooo.
 
LOL the AFL and Melbourne's media fawn over them something shocking.


Very dodgy that we didn't get a call by Giesh.

Not surprised with Caro giving Vlad (Essendon turd) a bath in the media.

They were in the Essendon rooms with Hird before the game.

WHAT A JOKE!

No on both counts almost as bad as the Jacko the great comment

stuffing stinks, I said it before, they stitched us up the week before nailing us with every possible bs decision then put the Bummer sniffers at their ease to go hog wild on us while our players were trying to play the new netball they seemed to be demanding from the week before.  stuff these bastards to hell
