I’m stoked with the anchors and what there doing.
Sounds like your content with your crows

Funny when people talk about Tex being "cooked." When healthy, the guy is a walk-up start as a forward in every single team in this competition, even at his age, no doubt about it.
If that's "cooked" I'll take it every day of the week.

These are two completely separate issues. I’m not sure why you’re combining them into one.

He's in trouble because last year increased expectations and this year has been very very patchy to put it mildly.
Grundy appeared insulted to be matched against Strachan.
O’Brien or Strachan
That’s it?
That’s all Adelaide can muster in the ruck?
That’s enough evidence there to issue a warrant for young Reid’s arrest …

See you on the 9th green at 9
I don’t know much about the old afl coaching business but I wonder if it would be helpful if Nicksy played a ruckman.

The worst part is that ROB got destroyed in the SANFL by a guy weighing over 120kg+ who had been retired from footy for the last 2 years.
That's our alternative.

Best we can do is draft a 178cm tall HBF named Ruckman.
Is there actually any chance he gets sacked this year?
Doesn't seem like the guy at all.

Nicks may not be the man, but they're not going to suddenly get better with a new coach either. They cooked the rebuild with a series of epically bad high draft picks. Milera, Jones, McHenry, McAsey, galucci..
They almost need to start over again

Tell you what though, if West Coast pick up a couple of wins then old mate Stevie Nicks will be on the…
hes under fire but against the presumptive premier what did ppl expect last night?

O'Reilly is leading the comp for hitouts - even today after missing 2 rounds - and Nicks decided to drop him???
Grundy was massive last night. It's like putting a small forward to take out a key tall
I hope the club puts us out of our misery over the bye, at least give us some hope for next year!
The issue is having no other ruck options on our list other than ROB or Strachan, both have their major flaws and neither should be playing AFL.
Yes, seen this movie before at the Crows. Think it happens over the bye or after another couple of losses post bye, it’s just a matter of when now.
So the same crew that extended Nicks turn around now and sack Nicks?
How would that look?
See the problem here?
The corporation is rotten to the core and the wretched souls who follow this boys club just have to suck it up and live with it …

Is is hard to argue that Nicks isn’t the worst coach in the league.
Gotta feel for Crows fans. Last year’s double games against North and West Coast gave them a false sense of Nick’s coaching skills and overstated their list. Walker’s season also papered over some cracks.
Then at the start of year they re-signed Nicks in what appeared to be a desire to avoid the Port-Hinkley situation from last season.

Reid does not make those decisions, he executes based on list management committee calls. Mark Riccutio, Adam Kelly and Matthew Nix are on it, they're the intellectual lightweights who need to go first. Then we can start looking at the Reid's and Ogilvies.
I think there's more to it than what happened last night. You only need to go back 1 round to see some pretty persuasive evidence.
