What?They got on right at least
They got one right ! Murphy shouldn’t have playedWhat?
Reckon we’ve got more than one right.They got one right ! Murphy shouldn’t have played
Reckon we’ve got more than one right.
Nicks keeps making dumb decisions and as I posted in the Nicks thread, doesn’t seem the players rate him.

If the players didn't rate him they wouldn't be busting their gut effort wise for him, I see no evidence of that, or are you questioning their effort as well?
Good for you, and I wasn't just talking today's game either...Dont agree with that, playing at Adelaide Oval vs the top team they are always going to be motivated regardless.

Interesting that we've seen some of our more senior players drop away recently - Smith, Brown, Sloane, Crouch, Doedee. ROB at times.If the players didn't rate him they wouldn't be busting their gut effort wise for him, I see no evidence of that, or are you questioning their effort as well?
What about 85 tackles last week in front of 4K people against a sh1te sideDont agree with that, playing at Adelaide Oval vs the top team they are always going to be motivated regardless.
Fair call , smith had the composure of a rookie tonightInteresting that we've seen some of our more senior players drop away recently - Smith, Brown, Sloane, Crouch, Doedee. ROB at times.
Strange dynamic at present. Tex standing out like a beacon then the rest of our decent play being lead by outsiders (Keays, Dawson) or kids who've recently arrived.
Laird really the only other stalwart putting together anything resembling a good season.
Dads ? Not dads big shotActually I do now, thanks 2 players dads telling me tonight. Have you asked any?
Was it Crouch's dad?Hmm, unless you were part of the conversation you wouldn’t have a clue. I asked what they thought of Nicks and in particular re a senior player, what he thought of Nicks. His dad held back originally and then told me. I’ve PMd a couple of posters, they know who I’m talking about. So yeah, this very senior player doesn’t rate Nicks.
I’m looking forward to you and the dads implementing your master plans for the rebuild and a period of sustained successHmm, unless you were part of the conversation you wouldn’t have a clue.

This sort of stuff is always presentDid I say he lost the players?
What does xxxx think of Nicks?
“I better not say”
More prodding
“Doesn’t rate him, too defensive”
Funny that, that’s been a criticism we’ve labelled at him.
As for the younger player
“He is trying to change the way he plays, not on instinct and they’ve got him overthinking it”
This has nothing to do with implementing our master plan on a rebuild so I’m not sure why you would even make such a stupid comment.
I’m passing on what I was told and the funny thing is it’s the same criticisms we’ve observed.
Perhaps you need to get off your high horse and just accept what’s been posted.
I’ve got no doubt that’s info you gotBoth played today
Did you ask the dads what their BF alias' are?And it’s not just a matter of not “liking”.
It’s an assessment on his coaching. Two flaws identified by posters on here, brought up by players dads, without prompting on these flaws. They came out with it. Perhaps we aren’t numpties after all.
Ideally we'd like our rebuild to have a handful of senior players who are hardened, finals winning types who even in their twilight years can still provide. We've cut our list so that Sloane, Tex, Smith and Seeds are our only 30+ players, no problems there other than contract statuses. The spot we've landed in though is only Tex is playing at an adequate level. Seeds is excusable, Sloane I think was still impacting partially but Smith has regressed badly this year.Interesting that we've seen some of our more senior players drop away recently - Smith, Brown, Sloane, Crouch, Doedee.

This leads to our next in lines Laird, Keays, Brown, Rob and Crouch. The Keays, Laird and Crouch triumphant are our starting three that we send out the truly elite mdifields in the comp, are they good? statistically yes, but actually no. but they'll do for now.
Our future? Bleak if i'm honest. The players I've locked in moving forward are in the lower single digits, which, 3 or 4 years into a rebuild is shite. Realistically I think we're two years into a rebuild, draft wise for whatever reason prior to the last two years, we've been poor.
Wow, player’s DADS!!!!!Actually I do now, thanks 2 players DADS telling me tonight.
Interesting, how’d you meet?The players want to win.
As I posted in the Nicks thread, I met 2 players dad today, one newish player, one very senior. Neither were complimentary and passed on what their sons thought. I have no reason to think they were lying.
The funny thing is your post says a lot more about you than anything I’ve posted but your too much of a FIGJAM to even realise.Wow, player’s DADS!!!!!
You must be a really important guy!!!!!
Did you mention that you couldn’t be
****ed watching the game last week but still had time for more than a hundred POSTS on Bigfooty about the stupidity of selection.
If I pm you will you send me an autograph?
In the barInteresting, how’d you meet?
