Dimma’s go to phrase is “the fact of the matter is”

There's no doubt about that

and when he gets narky to a journo it's usually......"gimme abreak willya"

 

[tiger76]

Only has a form line of a couple of weeks, but I’ve noticed, “they’re an incredibly proud group” mentioned in the last few rounds.

Clearly the loss of talented assistant coaches is hurting. New assistants needed in 2022.

Has coached poorly this year - been found out tactically.

I agree that a lot of experience has left the coaches box. But it doesn’t help that 10 premiership players are out injured.

Must play 2 rucks every game Sick of seeing Pickett killed every game being forced to play relief ruck

Problem today is that unless we throw Ryan to the wolves again we simply don’t have 2 rucks.

Who's the 2 Rucks your talking about?
Nakas is injured and Soldo had set back after set back.
I knew Soldo was struggling since April..why wouldn't they draft a Ruckman in mid year
Draft?

Agree Ryan would have been equally ineffective today - not strong enough. Can’t understand why Lynch wasn’t rucked - I know he can’t jump but at least he could have competed around the ground and in defence. Knows where to stand at least.

Ummm. We had to get some big lump in from Vermont footy club to play ruck for us in the magoos yesterday. Poor bugger went and stuffed a shoulder early in the game. Nank, injured. Soldo, injured. Cujo, injured. We have Cholly man n he tweaked an ankle or something early today plus Delilah who as shown in his first look the other week is still a long way off senior footy. Where would you like us to conjure up this extra ruck from?

We don't have any rucks to play! Chol is not an AFL footballer let alone a ruckmen. Who else could we have played? Ryan?

Quite frankly I'd rather have Pickett or Kamdyn or Parker play in the ruck than Chol. At least you know they're having a real go.

None of them would’ve stood a chance against Grundy

I agree but Nank, Soldo and CCJ are all injured so what else can we do. Chol has got no *smile* in him.

Never mentioned today’s game
Every other team challenging for has 2 rucks Why not us
Took Dimma till half way through season to give CJ a go should’ve been playing 2 rucks all year

 

[year of the tiger]

Mid season draft?

I think that has already occurred- we have what we have and can’t help our injuries.

Rioli, Stack, Mansell and Garth makes a pretty inexperienced defence.

 

[TigerForce]

Was asked by a journo about the fade-out from WC game but continued with the spin. Something happened and we'll never know I suppose.
