We don’t know what was said to these two. Remember their last senior games were stinkers .
I would like to see both of them in the senior team going forward along with Banks who I would have picked instead of McIntosh this week

We look forward to the challenge, it’s a great opportunity. We are privileged to play this great game.
Very disappointed that there was no ‘player x is an incredible player’ mentioned.
Free hit out for Mini with zero expectations. I want to see what he has with his match day tactics and his relationship with the players. Who knows, the players could rise to the occasion or everything goes pear-shaped and we start from scratch again. We have been here before, but as a club we now know how to climb that mountain.
No, but the most important cliche of them all was used: “Looking forward to the challenge.”
Promising.
Actually, he said 'I'm done'.
Dimma's been cooked mentally for a couple of years. After a marriage break up, hubs, 3 flags, rule changes, who wouldn't be? The great man is just a human. It's all just caught up with him.
New ideas and enthusiasm is exactly what we needed.
Bring on finals!
No. I spoke to a few players at a function this week. To a man they said they absolutely love him and that they can’t wait to play for him. They also said he is ready to coach.
lol, no.
you are naive if you think Dimma would bail whilst also believing we can still reach finals
he said "I'm done" but he SAID "we're done"
patently obvious.
What do you expect from a private school kid?
Jack Dyer would be rolling in his grave knowing a Caulfield Grammer lad was coaching our working class club.

Yes. The idea that Dimma selfishly bails just because we can't make finals shows a complete misunderstanding of everything the man's been about for the last decade.
He didn't say "we're done" & he certainly didn't imply that we couldn't make it to the finals.
Dont argue, if Carts said Dimma said "we're done" then Dimma said "we're done".
I have no doubt that the players knew Dimma was cooked before he did. It's always like that in any job from my experience.
I think he probably believed that we couldn't perform at our best given what he was mentally and spiritually able to offer.
I don't think he bailed thinking we can still make finals under him. I think he moved aside to give someone else the chance to get us there.
why on earth would he openly say any of that in a press conference?
he left because his kingsguard players are over the hill and I don't blame him.
"lol, no.

Your words if I'm not mistaken
I think the point (albeit a little indirect) is actions speak louder than words and say we can’t.
Eg If he knows lynch is fubar for the season etc.
