Further to this, the CEO of Bummers at the time openly told a few journalists that Dimma is the biggest myth in AFL, and it wasn’t so much the laptop not working as it was how he reacted then the content. He told them the list was overrated and would need serious pruning. The bummers believing their own bull**** scoffed that their list was anything but premiership material. The door most definitely slid
This is the stuff I'm talking about.
He's frequently criticisied the AFL. He used to make a weekly mockery of the MRC, Tribunal and the third umpire. I say used to because I cancelled my foxtel subscription 18 months ago and don't buy Kayo. I see he still routinely criticises things like "the bump" and decisions relating to it as being inconsistent with the communications put out by the league at the start of the year, or inconsistent with previous tribunal hearings.
He's a well researched and respected journo. He's not a Mark Robinson, or Caro Wilson. He doesn't try break stories, he analyses what those who are in the stories are doing and explains what their possible options are. So he won't say he believes in what XXXXX is doing, he'll say this has to be what they're doing based on the evidence. Sort of, They have 3 options available to them, and if they are going to argue XYZ, then the only course of action they can choose is this. Otherwise it's a backflip or a change of course".
If you're going to have a hosue propaganda man, there's no point having someone who's going to mock your organisation.
He criticises just enough to maintain his credibility with some, General. But when Gil has something to sell, Mince is the first bloke he calls.
Apparently George was originally tasked with delivering the cake, but he got lost then he dropped it while ambling up Punt Road.Not as comical as in previous years...
That’s what I heard too at the time.
He told Essendon they needed a rebuild.
Knights told them the list was good enough to play finals.
The laptop ‘misfiring’ is a myth!
History shows Knights got the job, got them in the finals, got smashed and ended up getting sacked.
Dimma rebuilt a list that was in a worse place than Fitzroys and won 3/5 years.
Happy 50th Dimma.
Hope the boys put in a good performance for you Saturday night which begins a finals campaign to remember.

Poor ol Sheeds needs to embrace his new found senility.
Four flags in a state based twelve team comp with an unrestricted list or salary cap, or three flags in an eighteen team national comp with list restrictions and salary cap. Genuinely can't compare eras. Hafey was magnificent way back then n Dimma's just as awesome now.Still needs the fourth flag to overtake Hafey.Happy for that to happen this year.
No it's not spookster. It's just nicely matured. Old is me, next stop decrepit, nothing but down hill all the *smile* way.
