Agree Dimma wasn't buying it, he was trying hard to be diplomatic but you could see scorn behind the facade. Don't agree on the technical knowledge part in the least. He, like us, are able to grasp basic geometry and probabilities. I think he needed an out and he took it. What was the alternative? Dimma calls *smile*, what happens then? Richmond hate just ramps up.
All pretty stinky though, Dimma unconvinced. League won't release footage or reasoning. The league stuffed up. Scrambled to cover it up and justify it, and were reliant on Dimma dropping it, and he did.
I know everyone is saying we need to move on, and we will, life goes on, but this will always stick in my craw, just like 1982. (Leigh Matthews has only just started to move on from the farce of Brisbane being forced to play a home prelim at the G in '04. Few similarities to us there, win 3 flags, the AFL starts kneecapping).
