Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 3) - The Biggest Loser

[maxlilly]

He is an ‘I’ when it suits him but he is a ‘we’ when the coaching going gets out of his zone. It’s coaching by committee and we all know about the horse that was designed by a committee…….it came out a camel.

Or in Nicks case, came out a Donkey

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Based on ability? Or skill-stifliń-coaching?

Think it’s fair to not expect the 197cm utility to be able to handle full time AFL-level midfield in his first couple seasons.

 

[Greenfinger]

‘A rank all current Afl coaches’ thread on the main afl board would almost definitely see Nicks last. Fans of other clubs are constantly jibing how pathetic he is in afl game day chats

So Max is trotted out in the interview tonight liking the challenge of playing a hard tag on Bont...

So we take the best rebounding defensive player in our team to turn this into.. what? This? Really?

**** YOU NICKS YOU SERIOUSLY CLUELESS ****ING ARSEHAT.

Jesus H ****ing Christ! You seriously want us to pay for this bullshit you are dealing up?

Certainly not with finals a mathematical possibility.

Has the bald **** been sacked yet?

 

[haydo]

Can we all refrain from the bald jokes! Us other bald men give a little tear every time Nicks is subject to a bald comment.

Ok, so realistically, could a 12 goal drubbing at home today be enough for Nicks to be sacked tomorrow? What would it take?

For Silvers and Olsen to grow a pair

And fall on their sword with Roo. Anyone who was involved with this stupid decision because they couldn’t handle noise should **** off.

Olsen and Silvers have delivered us Thebby, now they can go and take Nicks with them

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Certainly not with finals a mathematical possibility.

I’d love for Curtin to come into our AFL midfield side and start dominating. But I accept he’ll take a while to be physically ready, so I hope we give him a mix of an inside and outside role at SANFL level (if he ever goes back) so he can find a permanent outside role in our AFL side until he’s ready to go midfield.

Three heavy losses to round out the season might do it.

Nicks is Teflon until early/ mid next year - I have been pretty strong on safe until after next years bye, but bringing that forward to round 6-7 if we start next year like this year. However I think with even luck from now until then we should go much better and he will be safe

Club mistakes over a number of years is keeping him safe at the moment IMO

Injuries this year have saved him.

Last week was our best 22 all year, nearly beat Geelong.

Club will point to that as a reason not to sack him this year.


Even though it was Nicks match day coaching in the last 10 minutes that cost us the game.

Dogs game has proven our best is good enough.

...which we didn't deploy until Nicks cooked the season

There is difference between being hair challenged and being a bald campaigner.

I think it's more a case of the players just switching off from what he says and doing their own thing. Same can be seen every showdown.

The quality is there. The Coaching is not.

Club looks prime to have an attacking coach come in and reap the rewards but Olsen and Silvers pissed that away by extending loser coach Matthew Nicks

Nicks has an air of Joe Biden about him now. Nothing he says or does is making things better, his position is untenable and there is a sense of inevitability that he will go.
