... It's re-sign Dimma for an additional two years.
Make no mistake, if we get rid of Dimma we're going backwards. None of this Malthouse/Worsfold/etc/etc saviour stuff. Lock away Dimma away now, and make the statement loud and clear that we believe in the direction of our footy club. Because, looking past the pain were all undoubtedly feeling right now, we are on the right path.
In 2010 Dimma start from sub-zero. Deledio, Cotchin, Edwards, Riewoldt, Rance... That's probably about all that is left from when he took over. He's built the rest, and they play for him. I know, it's easy to get caught up in how let down we are, but the team that Dimma has built has delivered three consecutive finals appearances; which is more than the 28 years preceding this tenure put together.
Looking at it as a whole, you could say that this year should've been the year; I get that. The slow build of 10, 11, 12 followed by 13's choke and 14's run out of steam.. This should've been it... But it wasn't. But that's not to say that everything is wrong. We just didn't execute like we could have on Sunday; the gameplan is as consistent as it's ever been.
Every single year Dimma has added something to this team. The end result was the same this year, but the team is in the best place it's been for 30 years. They'll add something again this season. More quality draft choices; more expertly sharked experience from other clubs; and we'll improve again next year. Our core is so young, so talented; their delivery of their potential is just around the corner.
Take the speculation away. Shut all the flog panelists and journos up and don't even give them the chance to question our future. Lock Dimma away, and let them focus on turning this pain into a Top 4 finish next year.
I'm pumped already
