I'm non-allocated in the western stand and I have been told off for using "Bullshit", to which I promptly replied that the umps decision was indeed Bullshit and I stand by my call. lead balloons all round.
Well he is probably our best contested mark as well as kick as well as decision maker
It would be very on-brand to have two struggling midfielders and keep the one that hasn't even had 1 good half of football this year.
If Schoenberg was playing well, would we drop Sloane to give Hately his chance?

I wonder what the dickhead North Adelaide supporter said to Matty Wright when he was lining up for that goal on the weekend..
Matty actually ran over to the bloke after he kicked the goal and had words with him over it..
It looked like the bloke then tried to claim it wasnt him that said anything.. started looking at his mates around him shrugging his shoulders and pointing to a few of them..
Gutless flogs are like that.. all big and tough when they are the other side of the fence and think they are untouchable/cant be questioned.. then shit themselves when they realise thats actually not the case..
Thats the shit thing about the essendon lad.. he’s all smart and mouthy from the sidelines but he’d say diddly squat and probably piss his little panties if tex was standing over him asking him to repeat it..

The Club would say we are "managing" Sloane, instead of using the word dropped.
Of course. That helps maintain his standing.

Based on Nicks’ presser I’m assuming the below.
Schoenberg > Berry
Gollant/Rowe > McAdam
Hinge good to go

What did he say to make you think that?
Gollant kicked 4, should have kicked 3 and McAdam doesnt look fit.
Of course it would be Schoenberg not one of the underperforming senior players like the ****ing captain or crab Crouch
Looks like Berry in for Schoenberg and McAdam in for Rowe/McHenry based on what Nick's said. We should be dropping underperforming senior players and getting more games into our future. I would also like to see Hamill in for Jones and Strachan in for ROB.

He said we need more pressure in the fwd line and talked about going either taller or smaller.
Joining the dots on who isn’t providing pressure.
He specifically mentioned mcadam as someone who can provide pressure and take a mark.

I cant see Gollant going out. He mentioned that young players deserve some time when they are brought into the team. I guess it's extremely difficult for a young player to get a game so he is reluctant to chuck them straight out. I'm not sure this is the case though. This philosophy is wrong as it puts too much pressure on the young player to perform when they begrudgingly play them. If young players know they are trusted and rewarded with good form they feel less pressure when given a chance and are more likely to exceed expectations.
McHenry or Rowe have both been in the team for some time and seem the logical choice for ommision. My money is on McHenry.
There's appears to be debate at match commitee between under performing seniors being ommitted or backed in. Nick's seems very reluctant to give unproven players games as he constantly talks about how big a step up it is to afl. He seems to have little faith in young players and made a point about being surprised by Rachele and how rare it is. I agree it's rare but you have to give young performing players a go and often they perform above expectations. He appers to have pushed all his chips in on experience which won't exactly help him to develop the team. I guess he is more concerned with wins but this should not be his most important kpi.
What I don't like about Nicks coaching is that he seems very fixed on his set of assumptions and seems very reluctant to easily change those assumptions on the fly. Great coaches constantly change the way they do things. Nick's personality is almost identical to Pyke/Craig and this is probably why he won the job.

My money is on Rowe dropped, mainly because he also has a cold because he left his fan blowing on his face with the window open Monday night, he was interviewed by feenix yesterday and sounded very sick.

If he lives at home his old man is crook
He says that and then does the complete opposite

Need TT and Berry back in the team as a minimum.
Exactly - was watching the presser and thinking, this doesn’t match up with Thilthorpe and Pedlar getting the flick after one game.
Happened last year too, Worrell for example.
Hoping to see Hatley at some point, but not at the expense of Shoey

That’s because Nicks isn’t a coach for a rebuilding team.
I will openly admit McHenry is pushing my buttons and I pick on him but bejesus how does he just stroll on into the 22 every fn week and guys such as RT, Gollant, Berry, Pedlar , Hamill, the Sog get the one/two game yoyo treatment??
It does appear as though Nicks may be under pressure to "rebuild but win"
Loved Nicks with his start but starting to see some real flaws in selection, development and game plan.

He also directly called out that Keays and Schoenberg need games together to build cohesion.. after basically telling us Schoenberg will be dropped.
That presser provided a few contradicting answers.
Along with Soligo, Milera and Cook, all in the first two weeks
He seems to be sending a lot of mixed messages
Is it too hard for a 'journalist' to take him to task on some of his answers
You also went on and on after last week’s selection about how we should play Tex in the Twos.
Shouldn’t we drop him as well?
Or were you WRONG last week?
