Dimma annoyed that we had more I50s but had to work harder for our goals.

Yep, endlessly bombing it into the F50 will do that to you.

Quoted the main word in the presser for us and other teams: fatigue.

But he’s right though. We can still make it as long as there are so many pathetically inept teams around us.
Around us? Reckon we are worse than most atm, even the Roos put up a fight against the Cats. We sure didn't offer much...

He needs a break. Looks like he was on the *smile* all week.
The bloke can coach but like any good coach you need good people around you.

This responsibility falls on Livingstone. He needs to earn his keep this off season.

something I really don't get.

Dimma is smart. very smart. hes coached 75% of the premierships in the last 4 years.

and for the last 2 months (1:7), he's wondered out loud, pretty much every week, at our poor i50 conversion rate.

and yet Jake Aarts has kicked 2 goals in 2 months.

hes gone at one goal, every 4th game, for 8 weeks.

surely we have blokes that could exceed that KPI?

You don't have to do a course at Harvard to see that,

do you?

And Castagna has 7 goals in last 14 games. Aarts hasn't been great in the last month but was performing better than Castagna before that imo. Then there's Rioli who was dropped and moved back. Not sure what's going on with the small forwards but now that the season is over, it's time to reset and drop Castagna and Aarts and see what other youngsters have to offer.

Aarts and Castagna are getting to the Vickery level of gifted games. It's time to move on.

I think we’ve lost 4 games by less then a goal , amazing what a difference a couple of kicks on a season can make
