I think Dimma should be censured for his veiled criticism of Jacks left foot arrogance.
You cant say 'be childlike, have fun, play to your strengths'
And can a bloke who tries to rub a bit of salt into the vanquished challengers wounds when the game is dusted.
On reflection, i loved it. Wished he hadda kicked it, but i loved it.

Really disagree. Dimma's message is to 'Go for it! Give it your best shot; show us what your best football is. Don't be restrained by anxiety, under-confidence or fear. We selected you because we have faith in your abilities; give us all you've got.'
How was that playing to JR's strengths? He couldn't manage a 15/20m drop-punt shot on a slight angle? What if it was a close game or we need the % later?
I rebutted TBR another time about Jack not being the greatest bloke. Now I wonder. It spoilt the game just a little at the death for me. I also felt he cost us a couple of goals from being too slow to get the ball going our way. But if he curtailed McGovern, that's an invaluable team job.
But with this act, he also gave the Weagles some useful ammo to store up for us if we have to play them again. I detest arrogance in most contexts.
See Dimma's very final words in his presser.

Excellent game from Jack, made McGovern sweat chasing him around the park and draw him away from Lynch and intercept marking. McGovern didn't get a single intercept mark all game. Jack has a bit of flair, bit of a showman, but under all that he's very team orientated.
Coming up against the Weagles again will be interesting - we had more to lose, and we won. They had a few out too and losing Kennedy early was big. They'll back themselves to beat us next time, let's see how they go during this Queensldand stint.

The spring is back. Expect a big finals series from Jack. He will be up and about especially with his family now up in QLD.
Dimma hasn’t sounded like himself lately. Looks tense and doesn’t seem to be embracing the imperfections like usual.
E.g. Caddy makes a mistake, gets called “dumb” and is dropped. A journo says Lynch is too aggressive, Dimma makes it personal. This.
I guess a combination of the hubs, a condensed fixture, and the “we need to win every game just to make the top 4” mentality he’s zoned in on.
Hopefully they rediscover the fun over the bye.
Lately they seem to be playing not to lose, which offers no reward until the big sigh of relief if we do make it to the end of the season without a loss.
Jack is someone who can get everyone up and about.
Feeling the absence of Mrs Hardwick perhaps.
Emma Murray's there now. She'll get him centred.
