Dimattina

[Daytripper]

Paul Dimattina (our runner and ex Bulldog player) appears on a show on SEN late Monday nights reviewing the weekends games.

Last night, I couldn't help cringing when he used the word 'we' a few times when describing the Western Bulldogs. The first time I was prepared to forgive as just thought it was a slip of tongue which could happen to anybody.
However as the show went on his use of the term became more and more prevalent.

Call me pedantic, but if someone is an employee of our club, I want him to be 100% committed to the club.
I'm sure Dimma is a top bloke but he needs to decide whether he is an Essendon man or a Bulldog man at this moment in time.

Am I being overly critical ?

Probably just a force of habit and a hard one to break.
I dare say he has a very strong emotional link to the Bulldogs, but you would like him to be a bit more careful in the media.

As long as he does his job, I'm not overly concerned.

Not too dis similar to John Barnes on foxfooty, still obviously has a strong tie with the club he played most his footy with.

No, I`m with you.
