Dimma and co need to find a way to fix the entries into the forward 50. So many of the repeat entries in the second quarter were just long dump kicks to a crowded forward line. A lot of it might be missing players but we really need a better forward system and quality of entries. We need it quickly too or the season will slip away.

Dimma will have to be at his best with Doggies, Lions, Porters, Suns next four season defining games. Have to win at least three to stay in the hunt but the way Tigers are playing at the moment Dimma must get the big guns to fire.
Dimma has and will always back his players.
They have to do alot wrong for him not to play them.
Its time the players repaid Hardwick's faith in them with a good performance.
The media is just starting to circle.
Jonathon Brown has already written us off.
How nice would it be we beat the doggies and then finally show Brisbane what a top team looks like.
I haven't given up. We have enough quality to beat these sides.

Dimma coached the game with the Doggies from the box well tonight. Beveridge had no answers
he did. there was footage of Beveridge after the game rubbing his forehead and looking very disturbed ..
Yes he did. The coach & his team are in good form.
The team despite missing stars is delivering in spades & executing game plans well.
Best performance in a coaches box ive seen in a long while.
That first 10 minutes had Beveridge looking up the coaching Guide.
Its was brilliant
I didn't think Hardwick had many tricks in his game plan.
But in the last 2 weeks he has been unbelievable.
Setting match up's perfectly.
Game style A1
Defensively A1
I thought early this year, he seemed lost without Carcella but he has proven me wrong.

Yep, agree. When it comes to the PR, media, supporting players etc etc etc, stuff - you can count his stuff ups on one hand.
Bucks tried his darnest to copy him, but he could only manage it for a year before he had to go play tennis
I think his biggest flaw is as a game day coach. Not sure he deals with change midgame that well.
It seems from the outside, he is controlling the game more.
In the first 10 minutes Brisbane were squirting through the middle, but to Hardwick's credit he didn't wait till qtr time to change things up.
He stopped it with 8 minutes to go in the qtr.
He is coaching much better. He isnt so reliant on the senior player's like he use to be.
He gives big jobs to the kids now.
Whatever you think about Hardwick’s choice of words yesterday, can guarantee Tom Lynch & the rest of the playing group will be walking a bit taller today knowing their coach has their back. No wonder they love him.
Our President is defending her man too on radio this morning.
As a club we've had a collective gut full of the OTT intense scrutiny of our club at a very difficult, unprecedented time.
The time for being nice, taking the high road & making apologies is over. Show a bit of respect & you might get a bit back.
If we want to win this flag again adopting an us vs them mentality might be just the ticket.
'It certainly has created some discussion, it’s created some fodder for all the talkback radio. But he’s really seriously protective of his players. He’s great about that, it’s one of his great strengths.
“Sometimes I think it’s a bit like family, we defend them in a pretty fierce way. We can criticise them but nobody else can.
I saw that David Schwarz came out and said it’s just a difference of opinion so I think we’ve stirred that pot long enough.”

Richmond president grilled over 'problematic' Damien Hardwick ambush

Whether you like Dimma's comments or not, it has shifted the focus away from Lynch. Think maybe that might have been part of the reason for making those comments?
I reckon he cracked it a bit (justified too), but also knows the value of deflecting some of the attention onto himself - partly pre-conceived and partly frustration I reckon.
I did particularly like the comment about how the media keep focusing on Richmond players. I know I see this more because I am a Richmond supporter but after all the recent press coverage it would be nice to get a bit of a break from all the s*** we cop.
