Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

[GROTTO]

Steve Waugh has the worst nick name.

Boof says hello.

'The Iceman' is gold!!

A lot of Crows Female Fans loved his nickname lol

I wonder if it would be too woke to resurface as a nickname in 2022.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not what I said at all.

Its okay to give the club some credit for the 3 positives you listed from 2022.

It is what you're saying

I'm saying that Sloane being out paved the way for Berry to get an extended run as a centre square midfielder. You are arguing against that.

Patrick Parnell is another positive for us this season.

Luke Brown played Rounds 1 through 11 before succumbing to injury. Guess when Parnell came in?

It is positive that we have some good youngsters waiting in the wings or in peripheral roles. It is negative that it takes intervention from the injury gods for us to see them

Still 20 posters voting "Firmly yes (I love what I'm seeing)"

Interesting that there are a handful of AFC apologists still voting that way for Nicks. I always suspect a couple of those posters are AFC employees, probably in the PR Dept that churns out so much nauseating crap

The funniest thing is they will support the decision when Nicks inevitably gets sacked next year, and any losses under the new coach will no doubt be blamed on Nicks.

Fairly sure Berry played forward in the game he came back in in R5, so it's not at all wrong to say Sloane's injury is the reason Berry got extended midfield time.

 

[WetCrow1991]

You weren't "seeking clarification".

You just said "So you are saying...." and then went and created some theory that Scotty Thompson apparently would love. Doesn't get more strawman than that.

I just noticed that your username suggests you were thinking the Crows would win the flag in 2010. This the case?

If so that is some seriously poor football judgement.

He means 2110, our next flag.

Berry came back against the Tigers and we actually did start Sloane forward while Berry got the midfield run. Berry had 21 CBA's for the game, Sloane had 0 prior to getting hurt in the 4th. Was one of the moments I had some hope we were turning a corner and that was all undone the next week with the GWS loss and Nicks went crazy over it.

Now that was just one match though and whether we'd of kept that up long term if Sloane didn't get hurt is another question. I can certainly imagine Nicks responding to our struggles with putting Sloane back into the midfield full time, especially after the mentioned GWS loss.

I already posted but confirming now, driving over Friday morning, booked accommodation after the 2nd showdown. Staying Friday and Saturday night, driving back Sunday. Suffer in your jocks all those tossers that would call me a Port Troll, I'll be at the MCG next Saturday afternoon watching the Crows win their 3rd* flag.

It seems we both jumped the gun on that elusive 3rd flag.

Thanks mate, I stand corrected.

yeah, that's pretty shit

 

[jackster83]

Has he been sacked yet?

Talk about a false equivalence. How sad for you, you went looking for that hahah.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

What’s Nicks doing pregame to prevent these game-throwing first quarters?

 

[LeftyLuke]

Has he resigned yet?

 

[CrowToon]

Saaaaah keen for the news to break

 

[Crow till I die]

Steve Waugh has the worst nick name.

His brother used to be called afghanistan back in the early days.. the forgotton waugh

 

[Pugsley]

Carn Nicksy, its's time for those feelgood debuts.
We'll be lucky to win another game this year.
The group hugs are well and truly stale.

 

[pjcrows]

He again mentioned how we needed a "time out" at quarter time to re-group.

This is what he said after the Hawthorn and Gold Coast games too.

How dire is our on field leadership and knowledge that we need to wait until the end of a quarter to change what we're doing? Literally amateur league stuff.
