AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
The whole "no one though that Hardwick was good" is nonsense anyway. He made the finals twice and was a +.500 coach in his 4th, 5th and 6th years and 1 draw away from being .500 in his 3rd year.
You can’t use the Blight example with Ellen as that was a coach who was incredible at thinking outside the box - we had three tall forwards in Fog,Tex and TT why would you swap an incredibly inexperienced back man to go forward in the last game? This was one example from seasons of unsuccessful “experiments “ from Nicks that also seem to ignore other issues happening during the game.
I've said before I think a whole bunch of kids staying this time around is down to our list demographic doing a 180 from its usual perspective of being senior heacy, so the kids feel more comfortable staying because there's a huge group of them together. Compared to previous years where there was a very small group and you had less immediate options socially inside the club.
Maybe, but I'm still not convinced Nicks has done anything more to repair those fractures than what would have occurred if we went Coach free for the next 4-5 years.
Every Crows fans' favorite reporter, Sam McClure, is saying Petracca has told Melbourne he doesn't want to play for them any more. This is from five sources, he's claiming, at the club and close to Petracca. However the same article says he is unlikely to "formally" request a trade.
Only considering other Victorian clubs of course. McClure believes Harry McKay is a trade option the other way in a deal with Carlton
Petracca wants out, and a star Blue could unlock a trade
Despite guarantees from Melbourne that Petracca would not be traded, the Norm Smith medallist wants to play for a rival club.www.theage.com.au
The spoilt brat deserves to be stood down for a year if he wants to go.
its the right draft and time to do it in with the strength of this draft and the new tassie side coming in. 2 steps back to take 3 forward may be the go
It’s enough.
Rankine unlucky, would have made it, but there is a criteria about the number of games you need to have played.
I know it's hunting season on Nicks, but I remember what it was like when we were getting attacked every week, when reporters were just openly talking about how players were feeding them information about how dissatisfied everyone was. When there was a club statement every week or two.
Yeah 8 games missed is too much
Did you just ask why it doesn't ever skew unexpectedly up, and then name a time when it did?
Yeah, another reminder how much our coach is a complete spud!
For us I mean
Youre one of the biggest veterans not only on this board but Bigfooty, have you ever seen it as bad as this for the AFC on here?
Reckon we are going through an even worse period than the camp & tippett-gate... because there is no hope under Nicks.Youre one of the biggest veterans not only on this board but Bigfooty, have you ever seen it as bad as this for the AFC on here?
I cant think of a worse period for the AFC posters.
I should hold my beer, because I know it could get very much worse in about 5 weeks time.
