I have never accepted mediocrity in my life on any level .....it's the one thing no-one has or ever could accuse me of
So Nicks has taken us back to 2021 levels at 15th with the addition of Dawson and Rankine
Generally changing a paradigm is supposed to bring about something better than what came before. Under the old policy, Nicks would have been sacked at the end of 2021.
When you start a post like this, it sounds like you're in the same boat
“I do put some rationale & thinking in the posts”
Only in your dreams .....and dreams are not reality based
Nah, I joined BF in 2003 ....I had just retired from the corporate world and being in MELB was looking for info and discussion
The FREO board wanted Longmuir sacked last year .....I know for a fact, via my personal contact in coaching circles, GWS sat Kingsley down, last year, and had some tough discussions with him
Obviously you haven't read my posts .....because I've outlined my rationale many many times ....so I'm not repeating myself again ....try using the search function
Cmon Moogles .....this Club has always been ruthless with Coaches ......Cornes finished 12th, Sanderson ....the only Coach IRRC that the Club was dragged kicking & screaming was Craigy
Not only will we never win a final under him, I’m certain we’ll never make the 8 under him
Maybe there's a reason .....the Club is correct in their assessment .....and you're wrong
Fair enough with one game to go
I did say, I wanted to see how Nicks handled the adversity of the main post injury period ......it's a tick for me, and also it's only the ignorant footy boozy barrackers on BigFooty that even talk about Nicks tenure ....not one other entity, including the dumb-arse Rowe is discussing it
There's no doubt, West Coast would be knocking on Nicks door, if he wasn't re-signed .....irrespective, that wasn't any more than a minor consideration ....he deserved the extra 2 years:
1. He plays a Finals brand of footy ....competitive, and never give up
2. There's zero doubt Nicks has the players .....you don't get the competitiveness if you haven't got the players
3. We are seeing every Club go thru 3-5 games of poor footy ....BRIS, COLL early ....CARL, SYD, WB, and the ever reliable flakey ESS
So are all those Coaches bad, should they be sacked ? .....or do "key" injuries play a bigger part than you're prepared to credit?
4. We still have a young list .....injuries to Thilthorpe, Murray, Rankine ect, impact us more than mature teams
I said, you judge a Coach on what he does with the list available to him
If you actually study Clubs playing of Rookies .....some rooks play early, then fade to not be seen again ...and then you have players like GEEL's Humphrey, and Mannagh play quite late in the season and perform well
I liked playing Curtin and Taylor in the MID against PORT ...even though, Curtin's a long way off being an AFL Mid, and even though we were being torn apart by PORT's Midfield
Why would I renew my membership when we have no hope under Nicks
