How would that rub his teammates the wrong way?
If a team mate of mine did that, I'd be pissing myself, then 100% have his back when the opposition came after him.
47 inside 50s and Murphy getting 16 disposals to Racheles 10 says hi
And another way to look at this is Rachele’s antics take the pressure off everyone else.

If dumping horse shit at the club is illegal, maybe I could hire an ice cream van and try to get Nicks to eat a poo flavored one
So you don't think this call would raise alot of heat amongst supporters .....this call you think reflects not wanting pressureI've never seen a club in recent years want as little to no pressure as possible as the AFC.
The slightest HINT of any pressure (on or off field) and the whole club capitulates and proceeds to make stupid reactionary decisions. The doomed Titan sub took on more pressure before cracking than the AFC.
Losing to a basket case Richmond side at home on Thursday night was the true manifestation of this. Favourites, expected to win and win well, national audience and we completely shat the bed.
Nicks saying at the start of the season "we embrace the expectation"..... Err, NO WE ******* DON'T.
GF 2017 - players shit the bed , internal fighting breaks out and Burton has an ideaOut best player completely wiped out, we lose all composure, we lose. In The Big Rivalry Game. We’re all feeling sore. Port is ripping into one of our young players for his antics.
Isn’t it absolutely clear what we need is to the circle the wagons? Make sure everyone inside the club knows we’re united and will look out for each other?
No, let’s publicly humiliate our young player. First an underperforming ‘leader’ can pot him in an interview, and then we’ll drop him.
How dumb can they be?
The strong decision would be to stand up for one of our own.So you don't think this call would raise alot of heat amongst supporters .....this call you think reflects not wanting pressure
I'd suggest this is a pretty tough call, knowing how it would impact Rachele .....nah, there's been no capitulation here ...quite the opposite in fact
Didn't stengle very recently go out on a bender, had to go to hospital and their club still backed him in?
Ffs this club is sh1thouse... It's no wonder they persist with guys like murphy and McHenry...
Absolutely. He's also been one of our best the last six weeks, so if a scrubber or two doesn't like it, they can start focussing on getting a kick.How would that rub his teammates the wrong way?

He'd be devastated .....but the group is bigger than the individual, and the group has spoke (apparently)The strong decision would be to stand up for one of our own.
Geelong would never do this. Port wouldn't. Hell, Hawthorn have become the biggest over-celebratory flogs in the AFL, and Mitchell stands firmly behind them.
Weak, blame filled culture that does these ludicrous demonstrations of being "strong". I'm sure Rachele is deeply hurt.
Agreed. It's performative bullshit.Same as faux tough guy Brad Scott not giving Heppell a game last week - it's pissweak play acting of being strong.
Oh you mean Dawson and Keys should pull their heads in .....I notice no-one is prepared to have a go at themAbsolutely. He's also been one of our best the last six weeks, so if a scrubber or two doesn't like it, they can start focussing on getting a kick.

I love how you’ve completely made this scenario up in your head based on dullard Laird’s radio comments yet present it as factHe'd be devastated .....but the group is bigger than the individual, and the group has spoke (apparently)
No you don't ....make a reasonable argument ....not emotional clap trap type posts like thisIt is a tough call. Nicks is no stranger to making tough calls. His career has been littered with them.
The issue isn't whether Nicks makes tough calls - the issue is whether he makes good calls or completely idiotic calls that 99% of the football world can see are idiotic.
When it comes to football coaching - the man is a simpleton. I would prefer simple jack from tropic thunder to be our coach in 2025.
They’re clearly referring to the absolute crap Laird has been dishing up for weeksOh you mean Dawson and Keys should pull their heads in .....I notice no-one is prepared to have a go at them
Rachele one of our best ....cmon, get off the grass

He's not part of the leadership group that made the call ....his views, as well as all his house-mates views would have been canvassed by the leadership group of courseThey’re clearly referring to the absolute crap Laird has been dishing up for weeks
