Dimmer said "we're lucky to have him at the club".

Truth is, we're lucky Dimmer was forced to play the guy through other's injuries and poor form

:clapping

Absolutely it forced our hand. The kid was getting approx. 30 touches a game in the ressies and he's still getting those numbers in the seniors. It's certainly not a Dimma masterstroke we just succeeded through the clubs own misfortune in mismanaging the first half of the season. Been thinking if the kid played after the bye would we have lost to Melbourne? How handy would those four points be now. :-\

Hampson - can u believe how Dimmer persisted with this guy?

Thomas - How did he get a game before Vlaustin?
Yesterday highlighted his lack of skill.

These blokes were the coaches choice.
Miles was just a guy who would probably die in the magoos or
get picked up by another club and become the gun he is.

Wrong , we were putting him the through the necessary hoops at the Punt rd finishing school to have him cherry ripe for his debut. Looks to me it worked to a tee  :clapping

Of course, it was all part of a greater plan to promote Orren, and watch what a mistake giving up pick 28 for Hampson was adding to a wretched first half of the year where despite our galling losses where we were only selecting available players from a pool of 25 despite some of the players obvious deficiencies in ability and form,playing static Danny Frawley type footy that by round 9 Miles would be ready to be promoted despite 30 possies a game in the ressies only to be selected for his debut in round 12 which would coincide a few weeks later to the club embarking on a 6 game winning run, generating the momentum of a runaway freight train and only regaining slight respect from the fan base after beating Essendon that despite the fact that the club may still win their last three games their attempt to make the finals may still be an exercise of futility.

If only I had seen this in May I wouldn't have felt so gutted after we lost to the Suns, Bulldogs, Pies, Hawthorn, Geelong, Melbourne, Essendon, North, Freo and Sydney. What a masterstroke had all of us fooled.
Another Dimma, Blair and RFC masterstroke. 9th with a bullet. :thumbsup

Yep the RFC finishing factory working at its procrastinating best. :thumbsup

Can't understand how I misread that one.

He would have, that was a colossal stuff up and actually did more damage than not promoting miles earlier , to think we were using that spud as a resting forward for a decent amount of time. Miles should have come in 2 weeks earlier against Melb , I reckon he just might have stood in the way of nat jones dominating and setting up their narrow victory

But I thought the RFF Richmond Finishing Factory did the right thing getting him cherry ripe and selecting him at round 12.
Flip flopping BJ again don't know whether it is an RFC masterstroke or BJ pig in a poke.

They are you're own words. :lol :rollin :lol

I believe any argument that attempts to say

In the grand scheme of life

It was BETTER for miles to be playing twos getting 50 touches a week

Vs playing seniors, and attempting to help the senior side not lose to rubbish clubs

Is insanity
