Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 2) - Full Support of the Board

[Greenfinger]

Nicks loves to make dropped players emergencies . Good coaches don’t do this. They drop them back to seconds to find form and bring in others on the cusp as emergencies

Well this is on the coaches too, I get why Smithers would feel that way but dropping him earlier in the season when he was in his worst form would’ve been better for all parties

Saying he's just out there to help the young guys out is a pretty weak effort. He's also clocking games to hit a contract trigger. Plus he cracked the sads when dropped last week, it's not about anything other than himself. Typical senior AFC player.

Or don't put your hand up to play when you have a crook back and can hardly walk
These guys think they can just get out there each week and not worry about their performance

Contract trigger >>>>>>>> pride in performance

 

[1970crow]

It’s player elected though. It’s not who the coach wants.

It's a silent vote that is counted by the coaches behind closed doors. Nobody gets a gig that the coaches don't approve of.

 

[Gtowncrow]

I still can't split my favourite Nicks moment so far this year... The blowfly or the Pepsi spillage.... Both pure gold and lulworthy in their own right

"Just will you all stop??? I'm trying my hardest!!! and , and, and ...it's the effort that counts you know"

Taylor was emergency this week and then dropped out, no idea why

Taylor was emergency this week and then dropped out, no idea why

Probably was getting too excited about being given such an honour. Him calling all his family and friends to discuss the good news was too big of a distraction from training.

He got his taste and reward, now it’s back to work on some things.

Probably needs to work on his deep defence.

I'm so old and beaten down by Nicks and 2024 that I don't remember if I posted this, or if someone else has.

Nicks walks into a bar. The barman says, "Where that come from?".

The fly says, "Not sure. It started out as a wart on my butt".

Geez that's animated given the opposition, maybe you'd react like that if it was 5 minutes to the final siren in a deep September game. But us and Hawthorn, surely he could keep his emotions in check.

Was his first win.

After 13 or 14 games or whatever it was mind you.

C'mon - I think Nicks is as bad as the rest of em.

But maybe you need to pump the brakes on having a crack at a coach getting animated at watching his team win.

 

[kirky]

I wouldn't put it past Nicks to have a coaches pick in there. Or two.

I’d guarantee that 100%.

To be fair, I probably reacted the same way in my lounge room after that run of losses.

I thought it was photoshopped Sando

That’s not how he thinks though.

If you drop a guy who you believe is best 22 it’s because they’re out of form and you think a run in the 2s is needed.

The guys he dropped this week are not that.

Smith has been a fantastic player, but this is how he’s been for a while now. He’s not out of form, he’s past it.

Burgess and McHenry have performed at the same level they always do. They’re not out of form.

The issue is once again, he continually picks guys who we know are not up to standard (Hamill, Murphy, McHenry) and makes the guys with potential: Worrell, Nankervis, Dowling, Ryan, Curtin bang the door down before giving them an opportunity.

Too many AFL players in form. Who to drop?

A win

Those were the days

Hence the photoshopped

 

[Greenfinger]

Article today mentioned Nicks would keep all our players on our list if he could ! He’s like an under 8s coach .

What an incompetent idiot . Just p&ss off Nicks!

Rivals all think we are toothless and a joke in the competition

He’s an idiot . Not sure we have ever had such a shallow thinker in that seat

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Not changing the Amarety match-up should spell the end once and for all.

 

[walterhobbs]

Time to go. Proved time and time again hes got no idea.
