I remember taking a leak at 3QT and saying to the bloke next to me that I expect to see us get rolled in the last qtr...that was the attitude of a scarred RFC supporter in those days!

Pickett and Dan Rioli both named in the VFL as well.
Balmey on the TT podcast mentioned a tall player taking a lot of marks in last weeks scratch match but seemed reluctant to mention the players name so as not to hype up the player too much. Was it Ryan or Colina?
I feel Dimma will now review the small running players on a week to week basis to see who fits in well with our proposed 3 talls attack. Rioli/Caddy/Pickett/Cas/Arts/Parker/RCD/Ross/Ralphy will all get time but not week after week, only if they play well.
Judging by Balme's few choice words CCJ is well ahead of Chol in the forward line, in the Ruck as second option CCJ may have the numbers pushing Chol out.
Our back line is settled (only one possible option to come in David A),
Forward line of Tom, Jack, Dusty, CCJ, Lambert and Shai,
Rucks - Nank, Trent, Shane, Dion,
on the bench Jack G.
Mac to hold one wing.
This leaves 4 spots for grabs (in no particular order Arts, Rioli, Pickett, Cas second string Caddy, Parker third string RCD, Ross, Ralphy)
Marlion and Rioli both named in the VFL.
Old Mate hasnt played yet I think his debutting in the 2's this week.
Probably Sampson.

I think you can obscurely hear Richo mentioning it was Mate`
At his height you only need to be semi coordinated and can read the flight to outmark most opponents.
Why we need a full rebuild
Let me preface this by saying my view on Damien Hardwick has not changed. He is a poor coach and we need to move him on. Yes, I've been bullish about the list. But I was wrong. At least, I underestimated the depth of our midfield in 2017. I now think we can't win a flag with this mob. We need a...

Reading through I said some stupid things in it as well. Dyer 'Ere got it spot on, said we don't need a rebuild, trading Lids was enough. How's this for prescient?
Normally I don't understand what the 'ell Dyer 'ere is talkin about but he got this perfect.
Hardwick admitted he had to change after 2016. The people like me that wanted him sacked were completely justifed.....by Hardwick's admission he had to change his coaching. I will never forget because I was right and Hardwick admitted his mistakes and has grown the club from his mistakes. He is a wonderful example of leadership. Not may people in public life admit mistakes. That's why Hardwick is so special. He admitted he was wrong, adjusted and the club embraced his vulnerability , but more important his leadership. He is the best coach in the league because he he learns from his mistakes. It's not a coincidence that we have not lost a match to a team that has beaten us in a season. Hardwick is Tommy Haffey legend!

Yep the people who wanted him sacked were right and the people who wanted to keep him on were wrong
Geez. Poor Barren, reckon he got that just a tad wrong. Probably more than happy to be proven to have been well and truly wide of the mark.Why we need a full rebuild

Yep, turns out the people who saw clear improvement since Dimma started and recognised Dimma was a good coach were right.
Anyway, all's well that ends well. We are all winners!!!!
I just scrolled it. There's some doozies in there. But let's focus on the positives. This is pretty good from Baloo on June 5, 2017:
Our new style/plan/brand is 11 matches old. We have a toddler mossie fleet in the forward half create chaos. Prestia & Caddy haven't yet played 10 real games with their team mates.
You'd think given another 11 games to hone, perfect and tweek what we are doing, there is a good chance we go into the Finals with a game the the opposition struggle to combat.
Like the Dogs last year, we are a real chance of winning it if we can get into it.
Agree in terms of the reality today. However, you have missed the point. Hardwick has admitted himself he stuffed up and had to change. That's why he is a great coach. He is a great coach because he changed. Anyone who thinks he was a good coach in 2016 contradicts Hardwick himself! We are clearly all better for his and managements review of 2016. Peace brother

I figure admitting he needed to change was what kept him his job. Good decision but if Dimma had tried to continue the way he went in 2016 I don't think they would have kept him on.
