Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 11 - Tigers v Port Sun May 28th 1:10pm AEST (MCG)

I reckon there would be about 15 other clubs in the comp who would love their coach botching selections, strategies etc and still win 8 straight

Those other clubs would love to have butters rozee and jhf.

 

[hammo24]

Can we borrow your tarps?

Yes I’ll help you repaint them yellow and black

 

[MisterMarcus]

Wasn't any sort of great game, but winning at the MCG against a 'home' tenant was an important box for Port to tick to establish themselves as genuine contenders.

 

[ibd77]

Can we borrow your tarps?

Nah we left them back at Footy Park. You can try to find them there if you like.

You can tell that Richmond is a much better team with Dimma gone, he was never a great coach and relied heavily upon his assistant coaches.. if it wasn't for the people they brought into the club in 2017 they wouldn't have had the success that they've had.

As soon as all the assistants left (Macrae, Leppa, etc) then Hardwick was always going to be on the decline and outed as the useless coach that he is. Tigers fans should be breathing a sigh of relief that he is gone, any club that picks up Dimma and doesn't surround him with quality assistants that can do most of the job for him then they will be in trouble, Dimma is maybe a good motivator and good at protecting his players in the media etc but a useless coach.

I think you have confused Hardwick with Ken

They're very good young players who will peak in the future but some of the comments on here make it sound like your team and coach is being carried by prime Dusty, Danger, Fyfe in the middle.

I dont trust Port enough to think they can win the flag which is a pretty fair criticism until we see otherwise in finals, but if the Power make top 4/PF or better, surely Hinkley gets another contract?

Well I can’t speak for what the club will do… but Hinkley has been given the longest ever tenure without a gf appearance in the afl.

It’s only logical and reasonable that a grand final appearance is the minimum pass mark for us fans.



Whether or not the club agrees.. shrugs.

As I’ve often banged on about here, thanks to the afl handicapping our club by not letting us members have the same rights as every vic club has (they vote their own boards - the afl picks the majority of our board and gets veto power slash gets to pick who gets put up for member vote at port)

Our board just isn’t under any kind of obligation to do what members want.

Tiges will get the immediate sugar hit of hardquits departure. Port will grind them down in a tight one.

I'm going to run a few horse races and next week's X-Lotto by you if you don't mind.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

That applause for Dimma from the Richmond supporters stopped pretty quickly when that Port player took a mark up forward, not great timing for it.

#30 Ollie Lord. Cruel theatre there.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

Aliir is easily one of Port’s most important players. They would struggle to win most some games without him

Fixed that for you

 

[BF Tiger]

So today I’ve heard Dusty is retiring to become a professional boxer and/or he could be off to Gold Coast for their first-round pick with Richmond paying a good portion of his salary next year.
