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

[kirky]

Kinda defeats the purpose of Olson bringing in term limits if they weasel their way into keeping the first guy it hits though.

Term limits are for the Board members not other roles. Can you be a Footy Director without being a Board member? I think so, happy to be proven wrong.

I'm pretty sure that role is exclusively one for the board, unless we created an internal management role that would sit above Adam Kelly. Which you know, maybe we should have, but not with Roo in the role.

Ok but we are talking the Adelaide Football Club here.

Perhaps Roo won’t be there given Fox will have its own commentators at all games from next year so he might be quite busy.

It would be a perfect role for Neil Balme,
Cant believe we have reached out to him

It’s called contentment

It’s called contentment

When our organisation is run like a well oiled machine, no room for those hangers on

Not a bad read. Not a huge amount of analysis though, reasonable perspective though

Roo isn't supposed to be around much longer, unless they find another way to keep him on board.

I can see Roo ending up on staff in the role that we should be approaching Balme for. It would be terrible to lose all that AFC IP, it's just so valuable.

He’d have to be involved game day and therefore give up his Fox footy gig and probably triple m too. Not gonna happen.

'Footy Director' isn't actually an identified role. It's a loose title because he's a Director that is heavily involved in footy ops via chairing list management and list strategy committees. Once he's forced off the board, he can still be appointed to perform any other paid or unpaid role.

 

[1970crow]

Not necessarily. All we'd be doing is replicating his current involvement, less the board room aspect and adding a paid worker title.

A coach can clear that up pretty easily with his above statement about playing better when they celebrate.

You realise the irony in all this Jen don’t you?
Having a “go” at the “negatives” on here for not being excited over the last 7 years, yet you’re suggesting players shouldn’t be excited if they aren’t winning either.

I’m not suggesting it at all. All I said was “wait until they start losing”. The press will pounce.

 

[jenny61_99]

Depends on the response and how its communicated

It seems your concern is media driven and how fans will react. Some fans wont like anything but that final moment. Then spend the off season worrying if the team can do it again - you ignore them

With the media its how the message is communicated. We have seen a few issues over the last month where we have failed to address the issue but other clubs have and its disappeared

Stengle V Ginnivan V Rachele - which in your opinion is worse

On the balance of info Stengle ( to me ) is the worst and the other 2 a mile away. Yet because of how we addressed it Rachele is the super villain.

He isnt. It just seems he is . It doesnt help he had 5 months to think about it.

Yes celebrations look silly when you are 5 goals down but if it lights a spark then so be it

I think y’all think I’m against what Rachelle did. I’m not. I loved it. But the media pounced on him. They will pounce on the hawks too once they start to lose. “Not a good look” they’ll say.

 

[jenny61_99]

I don't want anyone who played under Neil Craig.

Neil Craig played under Jack Oatey.

 

[jenny61_99]

Did you ever listen to any of his press conferences?

He sounded like a complete dullard who seemed to have very little footy IQ other than prattling off stats.

I just don't rate those coaches who coach via analytics on a laptop, I'd prefer us to go after someone with an actual footy brain who doesn't need a laptop to tell them who is or isn't playing well.

Buckley’s the one I want.

 

[FR0GGY]

What’s this supposed to mean then?

Because when you are losing but players are still happy and celebrating a goal, what does that say to supporters?

supporters have nothing to do with the press?

Why should we - or other clubs - care what the media says? We see the hypocrisy with trade news and ''fair compensation''

As I said as long as the club/s communicate their position then its none of the medias business

 

[FR0GGY]

I meant that’s what the press will say.

How about nicks just coach some wins before he worries about what others are doing.
The press will soon be (already) into us for how bad we are performing.

 

[El Doederino]

What would Clarko know

 

[Multiballz]

I’m not suggesting it at all. All I said was “wait until they start losing”. The press will pounce.

And their Coach will bat them away like a Boss.
Any half decent Coach has the ability to shut down trivial media bitching in an instant.

 

[Gtowncrow]

He’s got his eyes on the tassie job

Don't they start in 2028? That's three years away.

I'd be happy with three years of Bucks before then.

What would Clarko know

Well tbf Derm is someone youd go to war with. The dude was as tough as they come back when it was a thing in footy. His 1989gf performance is a stuff of legend. Dipper was a gun too. Jack is not the ilk of any of those.

Clarko is more referring the that kind of antagonistic showman that all three of those guys were/are. The point is that a hugely successful club like Hawthorn has tended to embrace and encourage those personalities. This highlights the idiocy of trying to suppress Josh’s personality and antics.

My point was Dipper and Derm backed it up.
