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

[Cap]

Dawson was raving about Davis, “no ego”.

When asked what feedback he gave Nicks “prefer to keep that in house”

that doesn't sound particularly great does it.

 

[GreyCrow]

I was just suprised that after 5 years people didn't question bringing in someone like Davis

A lot of people questioned it

But mostly why did it take so long? And if the club feels he needs the help why not hire the guy to be your coach

Those were the most common themes here

That was what most people over Christmas were saying.

not enough support for Nicks from Day 1, we are expecting hom to do more than other clubs

(I can't back that assertion up with any evidence, but I can't provide evidence to the contrary, that is he has as much support as any other club)

And if the club feels he needs the help why not hire the guy to be your coach

I don't think Davisis head coach material, based on the limited material I've read on him.

I mean, my understanding is most good coaches do what the Davis + Nicks combo will be doing

so get one of the good coaches ? (But I could be wrong here, perhaps all the good coaches have a Davis?)

Those were the most common themes here

fair enough, I thought the general feel here was he should be punted.

Is there anything more damaging to Nicks than Davis’s comment “we go into a game with a plan and we stick to it”

What does that say about the way Nicks coaches?

The only more damaging comment would possibly be
"we'll go in with his game plan
& when it doesn't work by Round 5... (or at half time in Round 1) we dump it in the goddamn bin...and "I" throw a match to it".. Any questions??
-NO Matty, not from you.
You've, said more than enough.

I swore he said "in the out-house"

The shitter?

OK ....until 2 months ago, no-one on this board had ever heard of Davis, or what he actually has done at BRIS (apart from press reports)

Did Davis develop the BRIS gameplan .....you'd have to be pretty stupid to believe he did, over Fagan

So based on no knowledge of the man, having not seen anything of him .....suddenly he's the saviour ? ......what lunacy

People still do not understand Davis's role .....that would require critical thinking ....but I can assure you, he's not developing the gameplan .....a gameplan that ultimately Nicks holds responsibility for

Alright lads, just hack it forward and if it goes through the goals that's an added bonus.

One of his roles is to coach the coach, Roo said it on his morning show.

If we do well, I am putting it down to the coach having a coach.

Did he really say that? Well well well.

We could have saved the money in sending him to Harvard, just set up a classroom at the club

With checks and balances in place you would have to assume Nicks inconsistencies and mistakes will tend to disappear. Or he will be exposed as a fraud and ousted.

Yep, if I could be bothered I would go find it.
Even Ditts was surprised and clarified with Roo.

It'd also mean having to listen to Mark Ricciuto.

If a senior coach needs significant coaching after 5 years, do you think he is ever going to be up to it?

Perhaps they give brain transplants at Harvard...

Two weeks or what ever it was, was only long enough for a tour of Havard

I heard they just sent him to Hervey Bay TAFE
& told him it was Harvard, Boston.

 

[George Kramer]

He thought he was going to meet Harvey Spector

 

[Cromulant]

They sent him to Harvey Norman at Gepps Cross.

He got lost.

Couldn't even pick up an air fryer!

No no, they sent him for a HAIR DRYER

Left-Handed!

I wonder if Nicks was coaching Konstas if he’d drop him and line up senior players to publicly chastise him?

TBH a lot does depend on what he said.

Bumrah is usually pretty unflappable

 

[FR0GGY]

Hopefully Konstas backs it up today. He’s pretty yappy for a 1 game player.

Hold Up! Davey Warner would need to be on half a leg first, for him to even get a look in.

Yep it's fun at the moment but he's gonna needs some runs
