I think he's coached really well largely. Our issues are more personnel based imo. Our guns are older and more injury prone and most of our young guys haven't come on. We've basically been competitive in every game for large chunks.
Great banter between Robbo and Dimma.
Dimma shaping as one of the great coaches of the modern era.

Should have picked Stack last week. Now he has a broken cheekbone.
Apart from that Dimma is coaching really well.

Ironically similar as 2019 they didn't pick him and he went and played on a cow paddock and stuffed his ankle and missed his chance in the Finals.Should have picked Stack last week. Now he has a broken cheekbone.

He can't make Castagna and Aarts and Grimes and Broad and Rioli Jr and Short and Riewoldt all not independently brain fart. This is on the players who well and truly *smile* themselves.
Needs to face scrutiny for sure. We have been blowing 5 goal plus leads all year. It's cost us at least 5 losses. Our inability to combat this weakness has to come down to coaching in the main. Many have been posting about it since round one and here we are at round 17 and we are still watching us blow match winning leads. He clearly has not addressed it.
I think we had a chance to win one more with this group. That is gone now. Our inability to capitalise on good leads is a major factor in this. The coach can not escape scrutiny.

It’s completely unacceptable. A lack of leadership and culture has gone to *smile*. I’m sick of the pee weak final qtrs and stupid selections. He continues to go back to the same stuffen duds and guess what they let us down every *smile* time
The club needs to surround him with better quality assistants thats for sure
Well Dimma, lets hear the spin you put on that capitulation. Please don't come out with the Suns and a good side as I think I will spew.
Funny how the same coach that that gets us into these game winning positions is then responsible for us losing them.
Its personnel not coaching that is the problem. We have an aging core that is required to play at an intensity they are not capable of any more. We see it in the fade-outs and the plethora of soft tissue injuries. On top of that, our backline is severely depleted from our premiership winning years and it’s the backline that was always the foundation that everything else was built on.
Hardwick is an excellent coach but he doesn’t have the players anymore to execute his vision. I’ve said it before and will say it again, things are going to get worse before they start getting better.

Depends how we trade & draft going into 2023. If we don’t address midfielders & at least one key forward, I’d agree with you.
We need a good mid readymade trade to fill the gap whilst waiting somewhat hopefully for our kids to make the grade
