I thought he dropped the F bomb in the press conference when discussing that howler of an umpiring decision of no holding the ball..... :o
It seemed he was calling one of the media people an effing moron, it looked as though it was whoever was at his right. I noticed he had a dig at a Patrick at the beginning so I have a suspicion it may be this Patrick fellow..... Maybe Patrick Smith perhaps?
Smith wasn't at the presser apparently.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Read the comments bojangles.

Cotchin did the press conference. Then Hardwick did another. At least that is what was played out on radio.

Actually heard the HUN's Sam Edmund on Gold104 talking about Dimma' presser

Said he did drop the "F" bomb because some stupid journo left their mobile on

Also said:

* Dimma was still fuming when he came into the presser.

* He gave the players an almighty bake behind closed doors after the game

* the Cotchin had nothing to do with the Dimma presser

Understand people want to pot the coach was yesterday's debacle but parts of this thread are factually wrong  ;D

Wonder what he meant and who he directed these words at when ripping into the players after the
loss " never, never ,never again"

Some might have their papers stamped when it comes to wearing the gurnsey.

and that would be the right response. at some point the players have to take responsibility.

Newman misses an easy one in the first quarter - Newman retired
Griffiths misses and easy one in the first quarter - Griffiths should go too. He has all the ability in the world but never delivers.
Chaplin decides he can run around Nahas and costs us a goal - Chaplin should be sacked
Conca turns over the footy and costs us a goal In the last quarter - Conca should be traded.

And there were many other mistakes. The coach made some shockers too but if Newman kicks a goal we get 5 points more, if Griffiths kicks the goal we get 5 points more (10) If chaplin just kicks in properly and doesn't pretend he is francis bourke we save a goal (16) and if Conca hits a target we don't concede the goal we did (22 points) and today we are celebrating victory. I could probably come up with about 20 or 30 more points but whats the point. Our players let everyone down yesterday. The leadership of Cotchin and Deledio was terrible as well. Only Jack Riewoldt, Alex Rance and Anthony Miles performed like big game players McIntosh was ok. The rest were rubbish.

Vickery could have passed over the top for a sure goal. We kept them in it instead of doing the right things. Penalty a loss & end of season. But your post is spot on.

That's right monky. Everyone just wants to blame the coach and sure he isn't blameless but bloody hell our players do some terrible things at clutch moments. just shocking decisions which cost us.

Jackstar is back!!!

Watched the replay plenty of times
Grimes who was ahead of Vickery was pointing to the goals as Vickery was running
Don't think he wanted the shot

Players have to be held accountable for their performance. Agree not entirely coach's fault. Jack played a very good game yet it is interesting it is he who has to say to the football world we are sorry. I don't blame Vickery for the miss because at least he was having a go. There were just too many passengers. The errors we committed killed us and the worst one of them was Chaplin's.

Chaplins mistake absolutely killed us IMHO. The symbolism of that mistake just shattered any chance we had IMHO. Just terrible.

The Chaplin screw up was an absolute howler ,and its symbolism probably resonated throughout the whole team..What the hell was he thinking?..A big slow player was going to try and get around the nimble Nahas..just amazing

If you focus on Chaplin you notice all the small mistakes he does, generally soft and untalented

The nahas tackle was one of many stuff ups. Highlight reel stuff none the less
Then he grabbed two chopsticks and stuck them in his mouth , pretending to be a walrus
