And what's our plan when we get in a good assistant to babysit Nicks then they leave because they're a highly rated assistant with lots of promotion opportunities?

Very disappointed to hear Rowey even backing in the "Smithers Narrative"...
"They need real guidance back there & he IS an important part of that"
Christ, if the backline was following Smiths lead,
they'd all be queuing up for cheapies, blindly slapping it on the boot, spraying it out on the full, then holding a weekly apology session in the media.
No F#%#n Thanks.
Jist of the interview....finding more help for Matthew Nicks, so it appears Nicks is safe unfortunately..PLAYERCARDSTARTMatthew Nicks

Likely shake up of assistant Coaches end of year and Recruiting/List Management being closely looked at. 7 News also mentioned Neil Balme in the interview but nothing from the club officially if they had talked with him or not.
It is Michalanney's backline now.Very disappointed to hear Rowey even backing in the "Smithers Narrative"...

Nicks is Ken Hinkley 2.0If you need to get someone in to fix the coach, why not just make that person the coach?
Nicks is Ken Hinkley 0.1.
Ahh, I can see if nowIs that going to happen though? My understanding is that we threw around a lot of coin at the end of last year to replace Rahilly and we couldn't attract anyone. As it currently sits, the AFC is not an enticing place to work. My theory is Nicks is simply not rated in the internal coaching ranks and with us looking to lay blame on our current assistant coaches to make them scape goats, we wont look good at all. We will no doubt fill our coaches box next year with newb assistant coaches who are freshly retired from playing.
That's disrespectful to Ken. Nicks is Mark Neeld 2.0.
Finding additional help for the coach is the old ……we know there is a weakness there but what can we do other than support the status quo ….lets parcel it up that Nicks needs more help…..that kinda puts it to rest, and yet puts it back on everyone else.Jist of the interview....finding more help for Matthew Nicks, so it appears Nicks is safe unfortunately..

One of the things that got Sando the ass.If you need to get someone in to fix the coach, why not just make that person the coach?
A poor season that instantly gets dumped on the fault of the assistants while the guy in charge gets given pass after pass after pass and talked up as if he's a multi time Premiership winning coach while he's sitting there with a winning record of like 35%.Finding additional help for the coach is the old ……we know there is a weakness there but what can we do other than support the status quo ….lets parcel it up that Nicks needs more help…..that kinda puts it to rest, and yet puts it back on everyone else.
It also means Nicks is not handling the situation well enough. Hmmmm, of course this is what these you beaut reviews do. What a wonderful management decision and step forward. Now if we can just win another game the future looks so bright. Gloom.
Hmm, not reeally what you want in a vice captain..wouldn't have thought.It is Michalanney's backline now.
Before that Doedee.
Smithers has never really been an onfield leader.

But, but he has been in the leadership group for 5 years.
Or are you saying the club doesn’t know the actual meaning of leadership? I guess I’ve answered my own question given they have Murphy and Milera in there as well.
I’m thinking that a couple in that leadership group are captain’s picks (Nicks).
Works for the SANFL as a Pathways Player & Coach Developer.Where’s Heath Younie these days?
I thought he’d always had the SANFL team playing well.
I think a big part of the problem was that there was no Senior Assistant position available, which is currently being occupied by Burns. The bigger names we approached saw what was available as a huge step sideways or down and not attractive enough to take on.Is that going to happen though? My understanding is that we threw around a lot of coin at the end of last year to replace Rahilly and we couldn't attract anyone. As it currently sits, the AFC is not an enticing place to work.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him as our coach or senior assistant at some point.Hinkley
Hopefully the assistant is promised they will get the head coach job if they have more idea than Nix... but we aren't that smart... particularly when it's obvious Nix isn't up to it & the best fix is to sack him.And what's our plan when we get in a good assistant to babysit Nicks then they leave because they're a highly rated assistant with lots of promotion opportunities?
