don't buy it. Had ample opportunities. I'm generally a skeptic of the poor development/ played out of posi argument. Good players play the role the coach wants them to play, he's the coach for a reason, and take their chances.
You seem to be arguing against yourself besides, you're saying he's slow and can't kick, is that the clubs doing?
Astbury is achilles right? Not much you can do to prevent or strengthen that (I would guess).
I've been wondering that for years, if there is even such a thing these days. In my ignorance I thought the coach picked the team, with help from his assistants.
Or is there still a committee man in a gabardine overcoat standing in the shadows at Thursday who has a say?

at a guess, Id say Dimma, Balme, Matt Clark, Tim Livingston, Cotchy, Xavier Clarke, Kingsley?
Clarke wouldn't. He watches more under-18s than Richmond. Not sure about Balme. The other assistants: McQualter, maybe Ferg. Do we have any others?
With Astbury back I would have dropped Chol & retained young Ryan given we are playing a depleted Suns outfit. Ryan would have built confidence & the conditions would suit.
Miller stiff too IMO. Astbury will be underdone & Miller’s form deserves promotion.
Stack is a far better player than Naish & always will be.
Ross? I honestly don’t get the half back experiment.
Lynch’s return is welcome as is RCD’s promotion. Other than that it’s a bit of a mess. Should still win though.

Agree on all counts ToO.
Seems like the coaching and match committee are as out of form as the players are.
"You like Ross? Ross is good. Is good for you. Nice, big, healthy Ross, help you grow strong! And Naish! Yes, you need Naish! Is tasty! No, very tasty, I tell you. For you, I give you Ross and Naish. Because I like you. I like you smile. Only - one draft pick. Yes! You take CJ - I give you Naish, I give you Ross. Big muscles, good tasty. Just for pick 2. Only for just pick 2. Only for you, with the dimples. You take home you feed you family. You make a stew, so many things. Okay. Yes. Thank you. You welcome. Thank you."
As I said earlier this was never about guessing what Dimma would chose to do. This was about suggesting what I thought should happen.
Dimma’s commitment to his favoured players is part of the clubs culture and let’s hope that continues to work for us.
For the record I think the club is a long long way from so managing KMac, and deservedly so.
That appeared to be one of our main problems last week and last few weeks, dropping crucial marks; yet last week Broad 9 marks, Grimes 8, Flossy 7 which weren't too bad I guess but Balta dropped a few, got 5. In past years our intercept marking in back half was a feature of our re-bound turnovers leading to goals.

I heard Dimma say the other day he does, so as to keep current with exactly what they want in a player.
its unique apparently
