Nah, King still thinks Nicks is a good coach, has defended him all year. Our list is more than good enough at this stage to be making finals; maybe not contending for flags yet, but certainly making finals.
Ah ****, are you serious? He surely didn’t say that?

That's interesting considering this page exists.
Do crowds influence umpires? Is the 'noise of affirmation' real?
Round one provided a small snapshot of how much the home crowd can actually sway the umpires' decisions

West Coast tops the average differential vs interstate teams with +5.5, followed by WB at +4.3, and who's that in third? Oh, Carlton with +3.1.
Our list isn't good enough to win a premiership, certainly.
However, it's a hell of a lot better than the garbage we're putting on the park at the moment.

It’s pretty obviously coaching. In what universe is player development the remit of list management?
Development is quite literally the sole preserve of coaching. Not just a little bit, every, single bit
All of it

8 or 9 wins from 10 games needed to make the finals. Given the fixture this is a feat not even the best ever Crows sides would be able to accomplish in peak form. And Chrome Dome with Nobody Home thinks it is worthy to say that in an interview.
Unfortunately I think our list managers and coaches value the wrong types of players.
Not when you’re drafting the wrong players to begin with
A coach job is to make a game plan that works with the players strengths. This is not what Nicks does.
The last five years is evidence
The problem is we play too many players that we know aren't good enough and not enough of the players we don't know about one way or the other.
Our players don't improve after drafting. They all get worse.
No we probably haven't picked the best players, but the fact nobody develops into better players (Rachele and Thilthorpe being prime examples) isn't a drafting thing.

There’s a thread you should post in
Gotta say I'm not a Hamish hater like a lot on here ...
We seem to be terrible and helping players take the next step in their development.
If you wanna see something horrible - watch the Micd up videos of Nicks, holy toledo.
Imagine being Rankine / Soligo / Rachele / Dawson / Michalanney / Worrel / Curtin and knowing that your coaches are unable to help you improve to absolute top shelf. Looking at other club's coaching line-up and seeing the possibilities.
I'm yet to see a stat that proves that an individual recruiter is the reason for the great players a club end up with.
Could be wrong, but I think the club has bigger issues to address than Hamish.
