Confirmed: Dimma re-signed for two years (RFC site)

[big tone]

Try this on for size. off the top of my head Hinkley inherited; Boak, Hartlett, Cornes, Carlile, Gray, Schulz, Trengove, Broadbent ,Westhoff ,Jonas ,Wingard , Ebert

Now what do you think of hinkley  inheriting these players. And all these blokes apart from wingard were there in 2011 so don't even try

Some of these Port players mentioned are A grade like our ones mentioned earlier (Boak, Hartlett, Gray and Wingard) but the others are solid citizens at best. Which we also had on our list when Hardwick took over (Richo, Tuck, Foley, Newman, Bowden) I'd argue that our list of A graders and these guys are better than the lilts you just put up.
So IMO Port were in much more trouble than we were when Hinkley took over then when Hardwick took over.
The fact Hardwick even played players like Nason tells me he had NFI when he took over. That dope wouldn't get a game at Balwyn.
I'm so sick of all the excuses. Dimma has had long enough and needs to put up or pizz off. Making finals is great but IMO not even close to a pass mark and not even close to him deserving another 2 years to the year he has in front of him.
I'd offer him a new contract in October 2016 if and when he delivered us a minimum of a top 4 spot and at least a finals win. Solid KPI's that are there for all to see.
NO MORE EXCUSES

Did Richo play under Hardwick?

[Chuck17]

Probably not but it sure is a good name to justify a bs position

[Penelope]

ditto bowden

i love the way people roll out 4-5 names to justisfy having a good list. The bottom sides will generally 4-5 half decent players. Its the quality of those after the top 1/2 dozen or so that seperates sides

but claw is the best. she constantly tells us how bad our recruiting is and how poor our list structure is, yet wont even concede that coach that took over a side that had not played finals for 9 years did at least OK for the first 4 years or so, considering how he was working with such a poor list.

the comparisons to sides, by some, that had played finals 3-4 years previously and/or had won premierships in the previous decade is also worthy of an honourable mention

[Go Richo 12]

And I would never describe Richo as a "solid citizen at best" either.

[Petey]

I love how you are making excuses if younthink another club had a better list when their coach took over in comparison to hardwick.

Really deluded and sad people on here with a lack of knowledge

Trevgove is a B&F winner, Ebert has been R/U and was vice captain. Broadbent has been a quality half back flanker, one that you'd be screaming out to replace Houli with. Carlile a good solid full back. Jonas a very important defender and Kane Cornes was perhaps the leagues best tagger. Schulz a quality forward, Westhoff a quality utility.

You really should give the game away if you think those players are worse than what Hardwick originally had to work with. All these players, bar a retired Cornes, are still their best players. And considering everyone wanks off to Port for some reason (even though we finished ahead of them with ease last season), I think they ignore this fact.

Richo and Bowden never played for Hardwick. And I cant believe you thought Richo was an average player, ditto Bowden tbh. Think it says something about the way you judge football (not properly)

Have a lovely day

[Petey]

Horrible news. Been here  7 years and yet to prove he can win a final

and here's my first post in this thread for all you nuffies who say I accept mediocrity and make excuses.

Spot on BT. It is indeed an inferiority complex our supporters suffer from.They have a great need to justify why it has taken so long to get anywhere and the only way they can do that is paint a picture of us doing it harder than everyone else for the last 30 yrs.
Frankly i have had a gutful of this mentally soft attitude.

How can it be spot on when it is factually incorrect.

The definition of spot on is "accurate or accurately".

[tony_montana]

staggered people think ports list was worse than ours... anyhow moot point now, had plenty of time to mould the side into his vision, time to deliver or go home

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I wonder if they'll announce the 2 year extension tomozz?

[Lozza]

We need to come out round 1 and smash the Blues its as simple as that. Whoever takes the field need to be at their best, no excuses, we have seen time and time again injuries being used as an excuse for our poor performances. As a club we have been luckier than most in regards to major injuries to key players and other clubs come through their tough periods as better teams, we need to do the same.

I said those players were solid citizens which they are, nothing more. And you are kidding yourself if you think differently.
Trengrove a B&F winner, big deal, so is Daniel Jackson.
Elbert, runner up and vice captain, even less of a bigger deal. Solid player.
Broadbent is a decent flanker but I wouldn't  call in an A grader, and that's what I said. Solid at best.
Carlisle the same, solid defender- not A grade.
Jonas, well I'm not sure much needs to be even said. Ok at best.
Corners was good but I'd struggle to call any tagger an A grade player.
Schulz and Westoff both solid, and I'm pretty sure that's what I said about them.
 
If you take your head out of your arse for just a minute you would see that my comments on the Port players is pretty spot on even if it doesn't help your arguement.
And there is no need to be such a wanker either when disagreeing with some.
Telling me I should give the game away. Pull your head in hero.

[Yeahright]

Gee wiz Big Note are you going to acknowledge you were wrong on Richo and Bowden? Or aren't you man enough
