Never realised Nicks was the AFL equivalent of Gareth Southgate.
Saints paying 2.72 on Sportsbet might be worth putting on a few dollars.Be very interesting to see what happens if we get humbled at home by Saints.
Without Rankine (and an important Hinge) and a few of their players getting back into form against Sydney, not going to be an easy game for Nicks especially if Ro$$ Lyin' turns it into a dour scrapfest early....
I might take a saints thumping of the crows, nicks sacking multi.Saints paying 2.72 on Sportsbet might be worth putting on a few dollars.
They're gambling on the 0.01% chance that Nicks comes good.What silvers and roo don't understand is they'll look like even bigger clowns if they sack nicks next year.
I see, thanks.100 game banner
Not much noise will be made of Nicks getting to 100

I think we will win comfortably but if we do lose the pressure will be turned up Nicks.
Ive tipped usI think we will win comfortably but a loss will bring alot of heat in the club.
We lost to Richmond at home and there wasn't exactly a ton of heat on the club. Certainly no action taken
The catalyst for the probing review (no less)That game is a fair outlier though.
Yep, unfortunately he is just not that smart.Been thinking about the biggest problem with Nicks and it has to be his slowness ( stubbornness) in decision making.
It took 60 games for him to maybe realise that McHenry isn’t up to it, when many fans were there a long time ago.
He finally is playing curtin in the middle and surprise surprise he’s made a huge impact today. Should have worked that out earlier this year.
Adelaide simply can’t afford to have a coach that takes so long to realise if things aren’t working and change things. Game day coaching is a massive case in point. We have lost at least 4-5 games this year on slow coaching responses during the game .
When we chose nicks it sounded to me that the main reason he was chosen was his ability to build relationships. That spells assistant coach to me. Someone players felt comfortable to talk to when needed. Which wasn’t Sando or pykeys strength. Pykey could have stayed on with nicks coming in as an assistant to work under him but be the players sounding board.Yep, unfortunately he is just not that smart.
It's the reason we are usually outcoached on game day.
It's why most have come to the realisation we won't be successful under him... & we won't go anywhere until we change coaches.
Sadly also a poor reflection on AFC football decision makers that they can't see this.
Changing assistants is attempting to work around the problem, when the easiest fix is to remove the problem.

We need a game day tactician in.
Sounds like Rahilly was that guy for us.Exactly.
None of our coaches appear to have any tactical smarts.
Opposition coaches would look forward to going up against Nix.
Everything with Nicks seems to be a "do the opposite and hope it works out" situation.When we chose nicks it sounded to me that the main reason he was chosen was his ability to build relationships.

Need a good mix in the coaching group & need at least 1, preferably the senior coach & senior assistant who are tactically smart.Sounds like Rahilly was that guy for us.

Had a coach who was tactically smart, but not great with players? Hire the opposite to replace him!
We usually fire a coach who has 2-3 poor years? Do the opposite and keep backing him in!

We literally have nine of out coaches that have tactical smarts.
