Review R21: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Geelong Cats

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What instruction does nicks give to our players when the games are close?

I assume ROB was told to fall down at the ruck contest and grab your opponent so he gets a free

 

[Interloperer]

In the last two weeks Fogarty has kicked one goal himself, and spoiled two of his teammate's goals on the goal line.

Curtin looked very flat coming on the field. Really feel for the kid.

If I'm his manager I'm telling him to hang in there and get through to the end of the year. He may even do a JHF.

We have treated a highly rates pick 8 no better than you would treat a rookie pick.

Be very demoralising for a youngster knowing your coach has zero confidence in you.

Muuuch better effort from Rash tonight - he was really good. That's got to be his baseline going forward.

"We'll continue to use that sub role as an impact player. We will take some risks around it," Nicks said post-match.

Nicks emboldened by sub 'risk', coaches have say on extra time

Adelaide will continue to use its substitute player as a tactical move, not just injury cover

Are you suggesting that Nicksy's messaging isn't consistent?

I suspected that was his own cunning plan??? More fool me.

Kicked a goal though

First sign of the apocalypse

Perhaps I've been looking at it the wrong way. Perhaps I should learn from Facebook?

So you found Roo's Facebook account?

He's got a few...

Lachlan Murphy has kicked 7 goals this season and had 6 games with under 10 disposals. The fact that he's an automatic selection and a part of our leadership group is absolutely disgraceful.

Nicks will never admit he made a poor decision, so he has to play him. Could be the most arrogant, narcissistic coach we have had.

He had a hand in like five of our first six.

 

[RePete]

-We definitely had a better mix of players this game
-Commentary was awful. The constant ball-licking made me sick.
-Use of Curtin as sub - wtf Nicks. Should have come on half way through the third quarter atleast.
-TT good
etc

We've been saying that about losing close games for four years now.

We have also had Nicks as our coach for those 4 years. Once he is gone we will start winning those games.

Jenny or Moistin??

 

[Crows I Am]

Nicks was terrified to lose so didn't sub on Curtin until 4 minutes left, because he doesn't trust him

...then loses anyway

Nicks will probably blame Curtin for the loss. We were in front until he came on!

 

[whattagun07]

If I see one bloke walk out of here getting a pat on the back from people out there for a good effort I'll SPEW UP

 

[STrAng3C1oUdZ]

Plenty to like from today but as usual an incompetent coach cost us.

Good: Rachelle, Thilthorpe, Taylor

Bad: No answer for Cameron need to get Murray back to full fitness.

Ugly: Curtin coming on with literally under 5 mins to play is inexcusable.

I'd also like to point out this isn't Nicks first bad sub decision can't remember the game but we made the sub at half time and immediately got an injury.

Special mention for the game Thilthorp was sub Nicks is just lucky that man is extremely talented and we played the Saints

Give me current-day Plough over Nicks

 

[Hugh Jass]

Don't worry, guys! Nicks has found a role for Curtin to play next week that he thinks he will thrive in.

Who wrote that? Roo or Jamo?

His "good bloke" image is largely built on nothing. It doesn't get challenged nearly enough.

 

[crowholder]

Nicks was smart enough to lose a game by delaying the onset of Curtin and taking Dawson off, knowing that we would like pick 4... or was it just stupidity?, with a chance of beating the cats at Geelong since the last 21 year? A good effort by the boys, regardless. I expected a larger loss.
