Yes. Genius move by Dimma and coaching assistants.Dan Rioli 24 touches @ 83% including 5 intercepts. The move to half back has breathed life back into his career
Him (possibly) becoming Houli’s replacement is the most left field sh*t I ever could have imagined however Dimma may have killed two birds with one stone here
they do it all the time. Changed the rushed behind rule because of Hawthorn. A rule that’s probably been around for 100 years got changed because one team used it differently in a grand final.
they can’t help themselves. Only interested in the sport as a product and do not give a flying fu** about it as an indigenous sporting code
correct there have been lots of small changes like that, around rushed behinds, rucks etc.they do it all the time. Changed the rushed behind rule because of Hawthorn. A rule that’s probably been around for 100 years got changed because one team used it differently in a grand final.

Smaller points ? How small is your brain? These guys are hugging and shouting at each other in close quarters afterwards with no mask producing those oh so dangerous many aerosols you are afraid of anyways how dumb are you , were you actually dropped as a kid or something lolSorry. Didn't realise you needed even smaller points.
The mask reduced the aerosols while they were generating a lot of them.
In your analogy you're the idiot saying 'if I don't have to wear a condom when I'm kissing, why do I have to during penetration.'
Yep definitely for optics i agree though even though in the same said optics the masks were removed anyways and also not worn the way the covid freaks want itTrying to make sense of mask rules is folly. While there may be some science behind it, the inconsistency in the ways rules are applied are maddening. It's clearly optics. These guys are meant to be living within bio-bubbles so let them stay in that bubble - no masks.
the competition was compromised and should of been cancelled for the rest of the year the moment they forced Toby Greene and Callum Mills to withdrawthank you! Was meaning to transcribe that little snippet.
first only the Herald-Sun came out with this, but now a few little cracks appear in the AFL media wall of silence as to what went on post-season last year.
The very fact that AFL admin should feel the need to 'combat' any club just puts the whole competition's integrity in question.
Still amazed no serious journalist is bringing this issue to light.
EGO,and unfortunately its cost the team and robbed some new players of a deserved chance at senior levelWhat is really concerning in this is Dimma comments highlights that he is dinosauring it. That is, trying to hold onto a gamestyle that no longer work for the rules as they are now, rather than changing personnel and tactics to find the best advantage from the rules as they stand this year.
hmmm,interesting,Hardwick being a bit touchy possibly,guys on 900k and doing FA,criticism gonna come Damien, he needs to suck it upDimma currently losing sleep over Duck's comments...

As if that would ever happen cancel the entire competition on account of a couple a players being unavailable no different to a player withdrawing prior to game with a tight hammy , ridiculous remarkthe competition was compromised and should of been cancelled for the rest of the year the moment they forced Toby Greene and Callum Mills to withdraw
1hr before the GWS v Swans game...that there was pure manipulation and interference from the AFL
Think when haw did it in GF several times was straw that broke camels backWhat about that time Joel Bowen walked the ball over the line when we had a slim lead and a minute to go.
Gimps had to change that rule as well.
Agree that it is certainly a mix of optics, role modelling, science and politics with the AFL getting exemptions to keep playingTrying to make sense of mask rules is folly. While there may be some science behind it, the inconsistency in the ways rules are applied are maddening. It's clearly optics. These guys are meant to be living within bio-bubbles so let them stay in that bubble - no masks.
Me too !I agree … I think he has be shuffled around to much
Difference is the AFL alleged what on Mills & Greene ? were they proven to be sick ? they forced 2 fit and healthy players to withdraw,what dont you understand ? the emphasis being on FORCED....they were well n truly available to play...dont talk s**tAs if that would ever happen cancel the entire competition on account of a couple a players being unavailable no different to a player withdrawing prior to game with a tight hammy , ridiculous remark
Yes, I am not buying into this “he is playing a role” stuff either.That role was fine when we were winning but stubbonly insisting that he is playing a role that is clearly not working anymore.
We have good players in the middle and forward line so the question is who decision is the dysfunctional mess we see every week.
It wasn’t Essendon’s spot we were gunning for anyway IMO. It is West Coast’s spot. If we win all of our games and West Coast lose to 2/3 of Melbourne, Fremantle and Brisbane, then we’ll probably make the 8 on percentage. Well, provided that Fremantle lose today that is.Season over guys. No way bombers don't flog suns and pies. Steal our coaches and style then our finals place too, fu** em

Not sure why ther s a knock on his disposal. I saw him hit 3 or 4 lace out passes in general play in the second half and only one that didn't hit a target. I think sometimes there's a knock on a player that's perceived rather than earned. He often kicks at full pace or under pressure and players hack kicks forward sometimes. I think when he's composed his kicking is fine. If there's a problem it's his goal kicking where for some reason he's leaning back on impact rather than kicking through the ball like he does with his natural style.
Maybe someone has a stat that says his d/e is bad but it would be a small sample size so far.
What has been a positive, is that he's elusive, very strong at winning the ball and he brings others onto the game. Really like how he hits the ball at pace and tackles hard. He's earning a rookie spot at least. Only 25.

It’s either that Lynch is in bad form, is coached really poorly, or is told to play a role that does not get the best out of him.
It’s one of them in my opinion because this isn’t how I imagined our primary key forward playing when we recruited him. That role-playing spin works when we are in the top 4, but not when we’re one of the worst offensive sides in the league at the moment.
