It sounded similar to a politician who knows he/she is about to be turfed out. Very defensive and much shorter than his usual waffle.It was a really awful and uninspiring speech wasn't it?
That one slowed me down a bit - which is probably the purpose of itMatthew Nicks “success isn’t the absence of failure, it is persistence through failure”
Everything makes sense now
5 years of nightmare is an overkill statement. Yes, we were an absolute shambles in 2020, but understandably with a very young squad. The next 3 years, we had shown a near linear improvement, and that’s all we can really ask of a team who just won their wooden spoon.The Club must believe that it's the list and the players themselves and the Assistants who are responsible for the nightmare of the last FIVE years. 18th-15th-14th-10th-15th is about everybody but Nicks.
By doing all the above the Club has absolved Nicks and backed him fully.
For the life of me, I cannot see why unless it's to deflect attention/responsibility from the people that gave him 2 more years.
Ooohh that hurtsThe relevant graph kinda looks like a flaccid male anatomy trying and failing to get up.
Rachele on the bench...Nicks also said thanks to our squad of 43 players.

So you reckon everything has been awesome?You all act like Port fans...
We should judge until now and 2 years from now.
No, I think we have been shite since 2017, but it takes time to turn the curve.So you reckon everything has been awesome?
He would have been devastated when the numbers came back and Rachele was top 10 in the B&F
We also need to be realistic about calling out the club where they have not performed up to standard... or you are just accepting mediocrity.No, I think we have been shite since 2017, but it takes time to turn the curve.
I rather be optimistic than pessimistic, there is more upside than not and feel we will spike in our performance sooner than later.
If 2025 gives the same outcomes without reasonable cause then I'll change my mindset.
This needs to be discussed, here it is in all it’s glory
Starting a speech at a Club Champion dinner by potting people for criticising the club in a season which you finished 15th was a bold strategy by a bald coach.
To you, mate, not to me.5 years of nightmare is an overkill statement.
... and a rookie Coach who took us from 11th to 18th.Yes, we were an absolute shambles in 2020, but understandably with a very young squad.
15th to 14th to 10th is hardly earth-shattering, John.The next 3 years, we had shown a near linear improvement,
I disagree, strongly.and that’s all we can really ask of a team who just won their wooden spoon.
Look at the last 3 years, 11th to 10th to 15th. There's your answer.The question now becomes, was this season the upper limit of Nicks’ coaching ability
Nope. He's a dud.or a mere anomaly, and not reflective of recent years’ trend?
Again, nope. With the delistings and trade-ins we should have a better playing group, but we still have Nicks.Is there enough data that will tell us either way for next season?
Yeah, after 12 years of Finals in 14 Seasons.Chris Scott “we have got to be a little bit careful that we don’t assume we do things better than everyone else”.
What the actual ...? Did he really say that!?Matthew Nicks “at no point did anyone question the path that we are on”
