Wtf are you even talking about it?
How about you just backup your claim that nicks was seen as the reason behind GWS making the grandfinal in 2019 and I won’t ever quote you again and will apologize.
You told me to google it (which I did) and found nothing, but clearly it’s pretty well known if you said to google.

It was either on FoxFooty 360 .....or SEN radio

Discussing Nicks appointment .....believe it or not ...we know Cameron got sacked, yet GWS makes the Grand Final in the year Nicks joins as Senior Assistant .....yes he was credited for the improvement, moreso giving GWS a harder edge than in previous seasons

Why did you not say this the first time instead of calling me lazy and not responding?
It was a pretty wild claim at the time and still is?
I appreciate you explaining what you mean.
Here’s your original quote for context.

GWS disagree ....Nicks, was credited with GWS's jump to the Grand Final, the year he was there

To me you’re saying GWS said it not 1 analyst.

 

[Jack McKraken]

Nabbing the forward coach from the current premiership is a coup.

There is nothing to suggest Jimmy Bartel is anyway better or worse than Murray Davis.

It’s an interesting comparison. Bartel seems to be suggested as a great get. What was his history before landing the Giants gig - Wasn’t much between his retirement I thought?

 

[StickerMan]

I think I've (finally!!!) learned (after 15 years), that we can't help others unless they want to be helped. Right now (and for the last 7 years), they are pissed off with the Club (often justifiably so) for poor decision making. That means that they have a tendency to jump in feet first before they actually know all the facts (see the Cumming flip flopping and melodramatic meltdowns before the real decision was announced as a previous example). What those of us who don't react this way can do is just let them air their grievances and perhaps not put too much effort into them because a) we get angst ridden, and b) this is their state of mind right now. They have as much right to be pissed off as we have to be c'est-la-vie.

Best we can do is scroll on.

Every thread just ends in the usual back and forth.

I'm generally a half full guy, however am a realist first and foremost.

Am I happy that there appears to be some movement that indicates that we need to implement change? Yes.

Was I underwhelmed when I saw the name last night? Yes.

Given the recent history, do I have doubts about the ability of the Club to get this right? Yes.

Do I know if this guy is any good? No.

We are all scarred by the events of the past, and we all want the same thing; for the Club to be successful.

Some react differently and see the glass half empty, others see it full. Welcome to life.

As I said, best we can do is scroll on if you don't agree with someone, or something.

Here’s your original quote for context.

Because I'm not going to give you evidence of everything I say, given people don't read anyway......so I wasn't wrong, and I didn't make it up

90% of posts are unsupported comments ...you can choose to believe or not .....or accuse people of lying as a means of denigrating the poster

 

[George Kramer]

Yeah there was a fair bit of talk around Bartel, along with Buckley, as wish list for the role.

Buckley yes but I thought Bartel was more head of football/director/board role

 

[bettingonbetts]

Any update on Peatling? I’m at work and can’t look/can’t see updates. Longer it takes is it in our favour we think?

 

[ams4crows]

No, I don't expect anything today

Probably hungover.

Only the wild claims get asked to be backed up.
It’s not really what you said was it though?
“GWS disagree” no David king or someone on fox or SEN disagreed.

Go way ! I can't be bothered with you

 

[CrowToon]

Got him

 

[skam85]

A harsh assumption, seeing Sloane was the 21st and 23rd best player in the competition in 2018, 2021 and 2019 by champion data.

That the same Champion Data that ranked four Sydney players in the top 6 on the ground for the Grand Final?

 

[cleanhands]

Go way ! I can't be bothered with you

We are hoping the same of you

 

[jackster83]

We are hoping the same of you

Shame we can't ignore the prick.

This is my position also.

 

[ThePrideOf]

Peatling will be a good get. Quick and a midfielder with skills... immediately transforms our core

 

[MarcusP2]

Got him

Intel?

 

[George Kramer]

Go way ! I can't be bothered with you

Another quality contribution from someone who bemoans the quality of the posting on this board.

The reason you want him to go away is because once again you’ve been exposed as making stuff up and you’ve cracked the sooks.

 

[croweater 41]

Got him

Unsure if you are entering into the WW and Frog chat or giving us some news.

 

[LoBu]

Got him

Will be on Gettable shortly if true

 

[FR0GGY]

Got him

Who?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Got him

Go on…

 

[ClaudeCurlsCrow]

Got him

Player or Non-Player?

I'm hoping Graham Wright....
