Trivia question: Without looking it up, what percentage of our games did murphy play in from rounds 1-9?
Presumably not 100%. I know he started the year but honestly can’t recall him getting injured. And I know he hasn’t been dropped.

I think Nicks had done a pretty good job overall, taking a basket case club and rebuilding the list.
Sure he was outcoached by other mid level coaches multiple times, but there are some super performances too.
Team selection is conservative and over rates non possession statistical metrics which we don't get to see, including experience, pressure and shape, which is frustrating.
There is very little between us and North, if anything North have a better coach and better top end talent. But we are and have been the past 3.5 years a better team. Why?
What are we doing that has stopped us from being a basketcase? I believe it's that Nicks gained the trust of the older guys and convinced them they could play finals again.
Now he has almost completely transitioned the team through to a new squad, and the young guys are playing really well.
I'm losing patience but have enjoyed the rebuild. I've got until we don't make the finals next year to keep the faith in the trajectory. But considering where the club was gives Nicks a couple of extra years in my book, ie write off 2020 and 2021 as the culture rebuild which had to happen first.

Agreed, it’s not. Facts remain that he’s been extended for two years.The problem with that Jenny is he isn’t a rookie coach tho - he is 5 years into the top job with the previous 9 years being an assistant. Not bloody good enough.

Agreed!yup, no point thinking the club will sack him now. He will not want to start the next season like this one though.

If that was true wouldn't the older guys have turned on him by now? Because he would have sold them a lie
There's a decent body of evidence now that we are better without Crouch across the last 2 seasons
7-1-10 (39%) with him in the side
11-12 (47%) with him out of the side
Michael Voss did the exact same thing at the start of last season with Carlton. And he is on his second go round

Or they can see what he’s trying to achieve?If that was true wouldn't the older guys have turned on him by now? Because he would have sold them a lie
Everyone is trying to achieve a flag though, some are just no good at it.Or they can see what he’s trying to achieve?
Some just take longer.Everyone is trying to achieve a flag though, some are just no good at it.
And there’s only 2 that have taken longer to make finals.Some just take longer.![]()
So if your mind is made-up .....why are you throwing questions out still ?Line up all the coaches… split into two groups of successful vs unsuccessful.
Now look at the first 5 years of each group … which group is Nicks aligning with?
I’d be shocked if it was the successful group.
How long do you give a coach to show their best? Is there a measure out there that rings true?
What is the trigger point that a coach can call it “theirs”. Is it time or regular season games or finals or a number of wins or list composition?
I’m just at the point where I have not seen it yet, I haven’t seen what we are aiming to be in any consistent way. We seem to be throwing darts at a board we can’t see.
Maybe he is the one, maybe he is about to turn into a butterfly … but my years of watching this team in this league tell me to be less optimistic!!
