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

[GROTTO]

The Crows need to learn the mistakes the Pies made when they threw away Ginnivan for Schultz over his pre game antics.

This would have been a move by the Leadership group, not the Coach in isolation

Set standards …. Rachele fits into the team, not Rachele doing his own ****

I endorse the move …. Dawson isn’t a clown & his background of SYD would not tolerate a player going outside team first

Nothing team first about scapegoating and hanging out a young player to dry.
Quite the opposite and not the first time it has happened. It's a gutless move by Nicks if it happens again.

 

[Trigger13]

To his credit he said to the media today we don't want to be robots and have characters in the game.

We want characters



*drops character

Laird already did it a day before - the seeds were sown

Surprise surprise
Nicks needs to grow a pair and tell the leadership group that way of teaching him sucks.

A team that sets standards would not have played Murphy and Laird in every game they were available. All we're doing here is removing the last little bit of fun left in Rachele's game.

To me that's just a typical AFC company line.
Dropping the kid is next level cowardess and falls squarely on Nicks, regardless of what the "leadership" group have to say.

Cant get too carried away yet.
This is still purely hypothetical at this stage.

Are we talking the Leadership Group that includes Lachlan Murphy?

Of course you would endorse the move. **** me!

Nicks is a coward.

 

[FantasticShirt]

our worst coach ever.

 

[kirky]

Absolutely joke, just wrong at every turn. Amazing he has the respect and confidence of anyone.

See WaynesWorld19.

The club lacks strong leaders... On and off the field

And what is the status with Tex Walker?

Seriously, we have idiots involved with the club who couldn’t organise a root in a brothel.

If I saw nicks right now I’d flick his hat off no question

 

[Brett Cummings]

Inagine giving this club money next year and paying nicks' wages. What a dumpter fire .

 

[kirky]

I’d put a cow pat on his head so it attracts more flies.

Not always true. Port & Koch threw everything at an Abernethy win, but members wanted Tredrea.

Ultimately though, Tredrea, like the two elected Crows board members, has little power, as he’s hopelessly outnumbered. Any motion he puts up on behalf of members is easily voted down.

The two elected positions are, very obviously, token spots to give members a false sense of representation.



I agree with you that it won’t be a silver bullet but that isn’t a reason not to do it.

It’s almost certain that a board entirely accountable to members doesn’t get away with what they’ve done this year.

Kochie is a smart operator.

As you said, one voice among many.

Kochie gave the members what they want. And now has the media's biggest agitator on a leash.

Tredrea was denied running before. But there is now value having him as a Board member.



I just can't see a members elected Board being truly representative of us supporters.


It doesn't even happen in general politics. Candidates are heavily vetted by the two parties and minor/independent candidates hold few seats.



The current "party" will prevail under the guise of giving us members a say.



Which, without getting too political, is democracy in a nutshell.

WTF...


And yet Murphy will stay in....

Yeh amazing isn’t it.

What I’ll find over the preseason is who will be in our leadership team next year. I’d be staggered if Murphy is in it.

He will be.
But shouldn't be.

Nicks loves him.

I reckon Murphy is a captain’s call by the coach. It is the only thing that makes any sense.

Think positive, if they sack nicks, Murphy's gold pass evaporates so it might be his last game in the seniors

 

[Pugsley]

Rachele needs to ask for a trade. **** this club.

They won’t sack Nicks until mid next year when we are sitting in the bottom 6.

Someone on here posted ages ago that Nick's contract had clauses where they could terminate of he didn't make finals? anyone able to clarify if that was accurate? and if it is, they f**king well better be looking at the bottom 4 finish in year 5 of the rebuild.
