Game Day Adelaide V Sydney : 7pm Saturday

[Dewy006]

Only had three touches… apparently.

Yeah, cause he’s barely been on the ****ing field, it’s like our coaches are in charge of a fantasy team, Laird gets lots of it, what a star! Let alone the fact every possession he has actually hurts us as a team

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Laird averaging 6.4m per disposal.

That’s inflated by dump kicks, he’s looking to handpass to someone 2m away every time

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Particularly when taking into account our Head of Football pre-match (paraphrasing) “you’ll see tough competitive football, we want to win the contested footy and build momentum into 2025 against the best side in the comp”…what gets me is this lip service is never challenged. There’s zero accountability or consequence for their messaging, it’s astounding.

Lol, like our head of football has a clue...

 

[Danger in Texas]

A great opportunity to give Dowling,taylor and Curtin in midfield and yet we continue to waste time on fumbleberry and go with same midfield that has led us to bottom four. Nicks has go.

Berry’s been a lot better tonight

But I think he’s proven he’s not trustworthy, now

Oh no

 

[dogs105]

Fire Nicks.

 

[CrowBloke]

If we start next year with Laird and Crouch in the middle I will shoot myself

Nah mate. Shoot them.

 

[fuic08]

No injuries to half time.

Nicks will be itching to get Curtin subbed

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Give Taylor & Dowling a run in the middle for most of the rest of the game.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Dawson leaving the Swans is one of the classic blunders.

How good would Swans be with Dawson still there?

Murphy keeping us in it, Nicks really knows how to select the key players for success.

Didn't know Fog was a late out.

Only six goals behind, not done yet, reckon Swans will put the cue in the rack to avoid injuries.

 

[dogs105]

Lay off Nicks

 

[Dewy006]

Berry’s been a lot better tonight

But I think he’s proven he’s not trustworthy, now

Still has had his customary 2 or 3 fumbles which leads to turnovers and scores against

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Swans feasting on our poor skills. So many rebound goals following a dropped mark, smothered kick, missed handball, fumble….

 

[spenze]

I know! My hubby said he can see why they are giving him limited time (to build up his tank). I’m like “It’s the last game of the year, what are they saving him for?”

Trade period?

 

[1990crow]

I'd be angry if I actually cared. This club has killed my passion for AFL.
You just accept following this club means losing now.

 

[dogs105]

Terminate Nicks

 

[n4sir]

Looks like Laird has retired

We're not that lucky - just like Nicks he still has another two years to bleed us. #nicksandlairdjoinedatthehip

Actually, this is the bit I don't get, why is it every player we pick has no tank, no fitness to run out a game but every other team does?

 

[dogs105]

Dismiss Nicks

 

[Footypie32]

Lay off Nicks

Sorry, Mrs Nicks.

 

[WAG]

I was joking. First 10 mins on the bench.

Nicks playing Curtin into sub minutes anyway. 63% to half time. Only Adams for Sydney has less.

 

[hippyhippy]

So the leadership team spent a whole weak pushing a teammate under the bus...

And this is what they put up

Not a single player in the leadership group is actually performing even above par. And the coach putting borlase up fwd, how the f#ck was this part of his strategy pre game? He has no idea....sack him already

 

[adelaidecrows]

What a zero pressure game, Swans just doing enough for the win.

Crows not playing for their coach.

Excuse me, we have a rookie coach with a whole team full of inexperienced teenagers. We just got told this by the happy clappers again in another thread. So have some respect t=for the god that will take us to the promise land in Nicks. The next messiah.

 

[dogs105]

Sorry, Mrs Nicks.

Does she want him laid off too?

 

[Pea Nut]

Imagine this dream scenario, this is Nick's and Murphy's final game for the club.

How much longer can this go on for? It's got to be testing the patience of a lot of us fans surely?

I dare anyone to go back and re-watch any one of the 100+ games this spud has played and document every posession he gets, noting exactly what he does with it. After you've done that, it will blow your mind that he played more than 5 games, let alone been on our list as long as he has, all now topped off with him being in the leadership group. He's not SANFL standard. Never has been. Utter madness !!
