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

[Cromulant]

Yep it is.

So we’ve gone down the same path with Nicks because we re-signed him too early.

The concern is if we have a bounce they’ll justify to keep Nicks when clearly they’ve taken “coaching” away from him and turned him into figurehead.

Not saying it's likely in our instance, but I do wonder if the AFL system will ever adopt an an EPL style manager + first coach coach type structure.

The EPL Managers can coach though, look at Liverpool, it’s clearly Slots gameplan

I'd rather not.... but I'd have to begrudgingly agree

Must admit I was concerned when Slot was appointed that he looked like Nicks, but this baldie can coach and no flies on Slot

So Silvers said last night Davis will be in charge of gameplan, execution, development and have the assistants report to him.

Crikey sounds like head coach to me.

So what’s Nicks role, grinning, media, motivation? Hinkleylite?

Pretty damming they’re not trusting him with the gameplan. Perhaps they thought he went rogue bunkers too hey WaynesWorld19

The annoying thing is if we have a bounce Nicks will get the credit when clearly Davis is running the show.

Was he in charge of any of these things in Brisbane or are we again appointing a complete rookie to a very important role?

Wins - all on Muzza

Losses - all on Nicks

Other way around, we've appointed a scapegoat.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wonder whether Nicks has embraced Davis' arrival?

Don’t know

I’d like to hear from the Nicks defenders how they can still rate Nicks as a coach when effectively he’s been relegated to a figure head

Good luck as don't think Wayne is replying to your posts.

Gees I didn’t realise he’s the only Nicks defender left! Crikey.

But he does pop his head up every so often when he mistakenly thinks he’s got a point.

Probably to about the same extent that Adam Kelly thought Neil Balme could bring something positive to the club's performance.

We've put the training wheels back on and relegated Nicks to purely personnel management and nothing else

Effectively, aka Kenlite.

Seriously, we originally said Davis was brought on to free up Nicks as he was doing too much.

If Davis is developing gameplan, execution of the gameplan, overseeing the assistants and player development, what the hell are we freeing Nicks time for?

It can only be to manage relationships, work on his game day speeches and media.

After hearing that, I fully expect to see an uptick in performance next year.
