Some of us here have been asking for this style of play for 4 years! I give Dimma no credit for 'seeing the light'. The introduction of Leppa and Caracalla has been key to the change in game philosophy and don't underestimate Balmy's influence on recruitment and team selection. I want us to snare Blake as our senior Coach before someone else does....goodbye Dimma.

In what universe is this true ??
Reality....I tell you what, lets play the 'Scientific Method'...your turn.

Reality ??

You honestly believe we have a spineless yes man as senior coach who is being dictated to by Balme , Caracella and Leppitch.
I'm not saying that the new acquisitions haven't reinvigorated the joint , they obviously have - but senior coaches aren't puppets.

Don't know about puppets but I know where the muppets are

Yes.

look at whats changed this year compared to any of his previous.

Dimwit has a say, thats true, but i give him very little credit to whats happened this year or he would have thought of it himself.

Since Balme and other assistants have arrived.

dud assistant coaches that dimwit loved- gone
entire new game plan which most people have been asking for
dud recruitment personnel changed. Jury is out if the current is even better
jack in the leadership group and blokes like edwards out
jack playing to his strengths instead of this floating player, and into the leadership group
stringent team selections.

Lol 4 years ago we all wanted to send the money truck to Rossy Lyons house . Defensive genius. Has anyone noticed that Rossy has decided to start copying us now and suddenly the Dockers look a different proposition.

Short memories.

Didn't the club have a comprehensive review after the disastrous 2016 ....and have acted accordingly.

Why aren't Benny Gale and Peggy getting any recognition for the change of fortune  ??

Probably because they had stuff all to do with it....

This is the same game plan we have tried to implement multiple times and is the style Hardwick has wanted to play for nearly 5 five years. To say it's all him wouldn't be fair though as he spent a lot of time blaming the players at his disposal when it was in fact the assistant coaches (to be fair was a bit of both). We now have some assistants that know what they're doing and we're playing the type of footy Dimma has always wanted :shh

Disagree

4 years ago we were playing fast aggressive footy, then we lost a final to Carlton got spooked and changed our game style to a defensive style. And we purposely played that way till this season. To say we were trying to play attacking footy over the past 3 seasons but couldn't is completely wrong and smh that some posters actually think that.

Not a case of thinking it but knowing it. Every time we tried to implement that style we were absolutely shyte and just reverted back to our "safe" style of play.

We were absolutely shyte whenever we tried to play more attacking bc to play a certain way takes a preseason of refining, you can't just stuff a switch and go from ultra defensive setup to a gang ho approach, not to mention the cattle we have out there playing this style as opposed to our old style. Even the very elite sides have a distinct style and stick to it

We played our safe style bc that is how dimma  wanted us to play. That's what poos me about him, he can obviously coach and is a very effective coach to borrow a line from Brad Scott, bc the side plays exactly how he wants them to play. He's proven this 3 times now going from ultra attack to ultra defensive back to ultra aggressive. He poos me bc he chose to play safe defensive footy and I feel we've wasted 3 years of football following that garbage mantra.

I have it on extremely good authority that Dimma was opposed to the defensive style of play but was coerced into it due to the club wanting to play back to back finals.

Sounds like a gigantic cop out to me. Head coach blames his assistant coaches because they can't implement HIS game plan. He is the HEAD COACH!
Give me a spell.

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

I hope that's not true chuck, for me, that is the absolute worst thing that could happen to our club if true - I thought we as a club were past those days where people could go over the head of the coach and call the shots on field
