Move the clubs base to Broken Hill I say.Does the rights to the Sydney Academy players current and future come with him?
Where was Silvers quest for greatness when he signed off on extending Nicks?
ROB can ruck until he's 35.
That's the plan anyway.
Word gets around, theres very few people around who will accept the job knowing that your by and large a figure head.He's only one vote at a board meeting. But if the board ignored his strong protestations, then he's not the man we need.
Luko won't select us unless we are prepare to pay what the Suns want. Our issue is that we're desperate for him whereas we should be saying that we'll take him only if the trade cost is x. If Suns aren't releasing him for a second rounder, then we're not the club for him. Same with ANB, we'll take you, but all we're offering is a 3rd rounder, if that changes your mind, no worries, we'll see you when we play Port.
It wasn’t that they extended Nicks. Based on the yearly improvements to the end of last year, they were well justified for extending him in the offseason (we all expected them to). BUT, they needed to have announced it pre-season to make it “work”. By holding off until after the first game, which was a loss, just compounded it. It wasn’t the decision persay, but the timing of the announcement that just stunk to high heaven. Announce it preseason OR wait until the bye before starting the conversation (based on performances). It was extremely poorly handled.Where was Silvers quest for greatness when he signed off on extending Nicks?
He actually suggested he probably stay more likely but I doubt it personally. He would have signed.I'm glad he didn't sit on the fence.
I reckon its because you're preparing for another rookie to come in soon enough.Director of coaching sounds like a cop out to me, the kind of thing you do when your coaches are bad but you don’t want to replace them.
We'll likely know this week.He actually suggested he probably stay more likely but I doubt it personally. He would have signed.
Depends who you get. Wonder if Adam Simpson is a chance?I reckon its because you're preparing for another rookie to come in soon enough.
Nicks wont survive to the bye next season if we start the same was as we did this year.
Id be surprised, but that doesnt mean I wouldnt be asking the questionDepends who you get. Wonder if Adam Simpson is a chance?
Sorry Jenny but this is garbage. Of course the problem is that they extended him. He's a bad coach.It wasn’t that they extended Nicks.

Our club will be in freefall (if it's not already) if we have a start like this. We couldn't survive another 5-year plan.I reckon its because you're preparing for another rookie to come in soon enough.

Rubbish. The decision to extend was never justified in the off season. There were plenty of doubts. Stop re-writing history.It wasn’t that they extended Nicks.

My opinion of Silvers is entirely contingent on his actions this off-season.I might be alone but I like Silvers. Coming from Hawthorn he must be stunned by the lack of drive from those around him.

I like that the younger players want to drive standards, but that was said earlier this year too and it didnt happen.
Isaac isnt going to Port, itll be us or he stays and given the family connection I would doubt he stays.
In these negotiations, this pre-trade period chatter is about postulating ......Rosas to stay, but is he really ? .....Houston has declared he's staying at Port, but is he ?Luko won't select us unless we are prepare to pay what the Suns want.

Check SEN youtubeWhere can I listen back to this specific clip?
OR ....your opinion of the club infrastructure is flawedI think his philosophy is part of the problem.
He was a Hawthorn when they appointed Clarko and through their period of premiership success.
He’s gone on record and said that stability in key coaching, football dept and front office roles was critical to that success.
Now that makes sense when you have the right people in the right roles, however if you don’t that thinking becomes fundamentally flawed, and the risk is you stick with what’s broken.

Now you're rewriting history ....I'll guarantee, your vote in the polls at the start of the year, was to make Finals .....most posters didRubbish. The decision to extend was never justified in the off season. There were plenty of doubts. Stop re-writing history.
Most didn't think Nicks would doubled down on his shit mistakes that he started to do last year when we just missed out on Finals.Now you're rewriting history ....I'll guarantee, your vote in the polls at the start of the year, was to make Finals .....most posters did
So ...we were going to make Finals, despite having a bad Coach
Shouldn't we expect the people actually running a football club to have more insight than randoms posting on a football forum?Now you're rewriting history ....I'll guarantee, your vote in the polls at the start of the year, was to make Finals .....most posters did

2 points ....your first point, yes they have more insight than BF posters .....of course anyone in a daily work environment, knows more than someone peering thru the windowShouldn't we expect the people actually running a football club to have more insight than randoms posting on a football forum?
Also didn't you say Bigfooty polls are basically meaningless because they account for a very small percentage of supporters overall?
Opinion - Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 3) - The Biggest Loser
:think: :think: :huh: I dunno, mate. Your speculation involves some mind-reading or interpretation of Dawson's body language/mannerisms that I am not game enough to agree with. It might be what you've suggested, but we'll never know. I'm looking forward to Keane's return, his decision and his...www.bigfooty.com
