He will get paid out decent coin.
But yeah, fair point. His next job is probably at a school.
Especially if he fails again next year.
He needs to cling on as long as he can....

Neil craig resigned. Despite what you think about him he put the club first. Nicks is delusional. Does the same thing week in week out expecting different results
Just think if the morons on our board didn't extend him after round one we would be parting company with Nicks now.
Sigh, would provide some optimism heading into next season.
**** you Olsen
**** you Roo

Please don't give us hope

Nick's will be highly sought after as an assistant coach. He will be just fine. But he needs to go.

Another masterclass tonight.
Laird the first half back ever to have a 1:2 KH. Swans defenders all 3:1 or 2:1
Dowling yet to touch the midfield after another 30 in the SANFL.
Edwards not considered after getting 30 in the SANFL
No Ryan debut despite good form.
Bolase forward.
Dawson Key back.
Nank def instead of wing.
Chayce Jones returns to half back, after we tried and failed that for 3 years.
Keays starting in the first CBA.
Curtin starting first 10 minutes on the bench.\
Poor entries all night, how did we give their 3 half backs 90 possesions.

Let's be honest.. Sack Nicks but who in there right mind would want to coach this woeful organisation?
Basket case.

Crying about rash this week made it 10x worse. Why tf does it matter how a teamate celebrates a goal.

Yup - look at the celebrations over the weekend so far.. All of those would net you 3+ weeks back in the twos at the crows.
With all the supporter backlash.. i have no idea how Nicks has not been fired already....

Locking nicks in at the start of the year was like a government passing a shit piece of legislation then trying to firewall it from being unwound down the track when they know its not popular with the people

When Nicks eventually leaves ( I was going to say sacked, but I’m not convinced we have the minerals to sack him), the club will be an anomaly on his resume. He won’t give 2/5th of shits about us yet we treat him like some heart and soul that the whole club must get behind.
He’s not the messiah. He’s a nobody.
He’s not the messiah. He’s a nobody.
So many threads to post this in…
But Nicks is a moron. We have had a terrible season. You want to go into the last game with at least some type of optimism to build on into the new year.
So with our season done and dusted going into the last meaningless game, we have team members turning on our best young player in the media and the coach dropping him but refusing to say exactly why.
We now have the next 6 months of negativity instead of hope and optimism.
It was a moronic thing to do.
And it’s not the first time. Having an injured Lynch as sub who didn’t have his kit on, playing Curtin in defence for 3/4s of a season when everyone knew it wasn’t his position, subbing soligo, playing Murphy and McHenry when they are NOT the future, backing in Smith and Laird every single week even though they’re cooked.
Even last year, the reason we ‘lost’ so many close games is because the players tried playing Nicks shit game plan, then when the game was lost, just played on instinct but it was too little too late.
He’s not smart. And the problem is, he thinks that he is.
He has overseen the entire rebuild. Where we are is on him. He might be a nice guy, but he’s out of his depth.

It was such an arrogant decision especially ln light of the fact that we should have been 0-6 after R6 this year, if not for a flukey last minute win vs Blues, which arguably may have cost them the position in the 8.

Look at Hawthorn under Sam Mitchell - a no nonsense club that does all the tough things to advance as a club. Gave us a good start and have streaked past us like we're in floundering in quicksand
Look at AFC - a bunch of happy clapping boys club of bullshyte marketers drinking their own bathwater.
I'm struggling to do this any more whilst we do idiotic things like extending Nicks after a shock R1 loss.
Who knows what Dawson was thinking after the game last night, dreaming of a Robe retirement I assume as Sydney showed us what a real club looks like
As for Nicks, he is just plain stupid.
He must be to think Murphy deserves a game every week, or that a cooked Smith ("a big part of our future") or a talent less McHenry were the now and the future. Good SANFL form doesn't matter?? In almost every presser and by his selection policy Nicks is showing himself to be an idiot HE MUST GO
