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

[Jcpdragonx]

Our ball movement is good under him when it clicks. Think we really need a gun HBF and should be our first priority.

We've always had questionable selection at AFC but its the worst it's ever been under Nicks, silver lining of injuries is it forced Nicks hand to play these kids.

 

[Pugsley]

Has he realised yet he spent most of the season backing the wrong players?

No he will find a way to get McHenry in next week.

The concern is Laird admitted after the game they were uncomfortable with a shootout and because of the injuries the lock down game THEY PLANNED was in tatters

Its Marvel it was always going to be a shootout - just be better at the run and gun. You cannot defend the big boned ground

Saved from ourselves again by injuries

Second win in Melbourne this year and second win by under a goal - 3 away wins

While the season has been poor we are improving some of our issues from last year

Love how he’s now giddy over the kids who he was dragged into playing, said needed to learn our values and had stuff to work on meanwhile he was playing McHenry….

Not a single one of them could unseat Murphy, they needed to wait for an injury.

Not going to make us better, I can’t believe that zeez

Will be interesting if we ever get anywhere near our best side back how the side will look

Walker Rankine Worrell Milera and Pedlar - if fit come straight back into this side. Crouch position is interesting. Add in Cumming, pick 5-6 next year and Curtin - selection will be very interesting

McHenry, Jones and Harry seem to be the ones that have been surpassed by the younger brigade - and of course the latter two coming off serious injury last year

I find these wins as an indication that he truly did screw up our season with that defensive game plan and not playing the kids. We are good enough if coached well.

It's a bit concerning also when Nicks said before the game he wanted it to be a hard fought slog, and Keays said after the match it's probably not the way we want to play, a bit too free flowing.

We clearly play best when we take the game on and score, so why wouldn't we want to play like that?

And he'll get to do it again next year.

Our worst patches of the game are immediately after the players have spent extended time with him: starts, and after half time.

I wouldn’t worry about Milera or Pedlar - need to earn their place. Reckon we have better options now.

The guy in Pedlar’s place is Cook, who I like, but hasn’t shown anywhere near what Pedlar has.

Milera is an interesting one. The back line looks very good without him, I still think he’s a class player, perhaps a wing role, as although Dowling has been very good there I don’t know if that’s his permanent home.

Its like he thinks it was his idea

Hopefully he now runs with it for the rest of the season.

Curtin time with Dawson out.
Ryan should come in too.

He's the slowest Coach I've ever seen. A couple of months behind a forum of amateurs in thinking.

Moves like Joe Biden

We all know that old selection policy ditty..
"If Murph's heads still attached, He could win us the match"

Maybe when reading the comments on here he could PM a couple for advice

Dragged kicking and screaming. Still not smart enough to see that we’d actually be better if Smith was dropped.

 

[Macka_321]

He’s so quick to take credit for the wins but when we lose it’s never his fault. This bloke just irritates the hell out of me.

It was only a couple of weeks ago he was telling us, 'have you seen our sanfl side play' ?
Gee he is an annoying fraud
It would have been exciting if you knew what talent was and you backed it in from the start of the season

 

[MsTopG]

Nicks must go eoy if the club has any aspirations for success. No finals last year and this year. A decent coach would have definitely got us into the finals both years.He is out of his depth, it's bloody obvious. Get him out.

Smith hanging on for dear life. The bloke is so done. Its like watching Scott Thompson in his final season.
