All points spot on.

5 and 0 doesn't mean you are exempt from criticism when you get embarrassed by 10 goals.


I agree but where does this expectation come from ? We haven't really
Played that well in any of our wins for 4 quarters, we haven't been all that convincing. That could be viewed as an upside because when we do play 4 quarters we can match it with the best but we played 1 tonight ( and beat them ! ) Rioli, butler, castagna ?, markov, Prestia and Caddy still to find their best. There is a lot of upside but my only qualm is that rance jack and cotch aren't 3-4 years younger  :rollin

I would have thought the expectation of any team who are 5 and 0 with a full list of players to choose from, DO NOT lose by over 10 goals and have the game over at 3 qtr time.

mate they beat the giants by 10 goals - theyre that good atm

Have a good think about selections at match committee
1.  Don't pick Morris, he's no bloody good
2.  If you want to kick the ball long into your forward line you may want to select a CHF.
3.  When the opposition gets a run on put some players in defence.
4.  When your playing a team with 4 players over 193cms select some extra height.



You are 100% correct. Ridiculous selection and coaching v the crows.

If Dimma gets no credit for our 5 victories

Why does he cop all the stuff for this loss

Why isn't this Blake Caracellas fault  ??

Morris is Dimma's favourite player. He said so at the season launch....

We didn't lose because of Morris though. Poor selection but it ain't just Dimma sitting there selecting players. From what I understand there's a team of all coaches and Balme ?

Any team that's forced to use Grigg as second ruck needs to sack the head coach.

It's easy.

Morris would have almost certainly been Dimma's call. It sent out a clear message that the playing of youth and constant improvement with senior games would be usurped by the playing of an old warrior that is not up to it just because he is a coaches favourite.
Don't ignore the psychological impact of this.

It's how it rolls  :rollin

Seriously, it's a reasonable question

Can't disagree with any of that

Actually it was a main topic of conversation on SEN this morning. Lyon gave Dimma and the club a might whack over it

So if Dimma wanted Morris and no other members of the selection panel did you think he can over rule everyone ?

How?

By saying Mat posed an reasonable question. Didn't give an opinion on whether i agreed or not just said it was reasonable.

And I then gave an opinion, agreeing with what Doc said.
