I was a function yesterday in the Myer centre for the release of State of Origin merch for the first time in a while. Hayward was there with The Lizard, buying SA Merch

Is that the Mitchell & Ness stuff or is there some other SoO merch I'm not aware of?

Yeah but if Rankine, Rachelle & Pedlar are going to midfield then we need half forwards.

Will they play Pedlar in the midfield?

 

[Moe Ron]

Will they play Pedlar in the midfield?

We can only hope

An actual rumour: Nicks has a performance (specific number of wins in 2024) clause in his latest contract, if not met, the club can part ways with him.

Fingers crossed. Wishful thinking.

Cue load up on senior players

 

[Scorpus]

Just because they could utilize the clause, doesn't mean they will

 

[skam85]

it also means if the number is 10 or fewer, then we're potentially only 8wks away from change

Let's keep losing!!

 

[George Kramer]

Let's keep losing!!

We are not going to have much say in it

We can cheer when the opposition scores.

Probably 1 win

Knowing the geniuses who made the decision it’s probably a games coached clause, and nothing to do with performance

I was gonna say this is a bad thing as it means Nicks will play risk averse footy and not roll the dice on youth trying to hit that win quota but he’s doing that regardless.

How much do you think this trigger has already impacted his decision making this year?

If it exists a s*** tonne. For what it’s worth I still think we’re a decent chance to hit 10 wins this year if that’s the quota. Worst case scenario if we hit it off the back of senior players grinding out just enough pointless victories.

So win 50% of our games from here on in? No chance

That’s perfect as if he really thinks risk averse footy and seniors is the way to go, he’s not the man (he’s not the man anyway)

 

[George Kramer]

I reckon all going well, 6 wins would be the best we could expect

 

[Eddie Murphy]

It’s unlikely but I could see us eventually finding form (too late for a finals push of course). Home games against Essendon, Saints, Dogs, Hawks, Richmond, Eagles. Away against North, Hawks and snag a couple wins from pies, brisbane or port. Again I don’t reckon this happens but I think it’s a reasonable enough possibility. Would hate it if it came from a season of Laird, Crouch and Dawson in the middle though.
