Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

[earlsta]

2025 I hope he’s available, think he lives around me, tend to bump into him quite a bit during the year lol. Might have to ask him.

When is Nicks OOC?

 

[John Who]

Yeah but I don’t think you need to learn from taking your best player for the game off.
It’s just common sense

On the flip side, Soligo has been given more TOG in the recent games, and he was managed appropriately as a 2nd year player to help prevent soft tissue injuries. Particularly as during the game he was knocked around a bit more than in other games. Would that be common sense too for resting him up?

If we ended winning by 1 point instead of the loss by 1, would you then accept the sub decision was a decent decision?

I’ll just run with the coaches assessment that he got it wrong.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

When Adam Simpson gets sacked should we add him to our coaching panel?

Wouldn't he end up coaching another club.

Should have moved on a couple of years ago as stale at Weagles.

But if available as an assistant... absolutely should grab him.

So if Nicks says he’s the perfect man to lead the club for another 5 years, you’re the first to be in full support for Nicks because…it’s coming from Nicks’ mouth?

No, I questioned the actual wording in the presser .....I've said, It's not as cut a dried meaning as some suggest ....but I've explained in other posts, and to comment further would simply circle the discussion ....I think people have moved on to other topics

froggy posted it verbatim. There's no room for interpretation.

Yeh, if Nicks himself says he got it wrong, then it's good enough for me.

 

[El Doederino]

If the club isn’t at least asking the question about Hardwick, then it’s not serious about winning a premiership.

If you think that’s at all similar I don’t know what to tell you.
It’s in Nicks interest to tell everyone he’s the man for the job.
What’s in it for him by telling everyone he got something wrong.
You should have taken the loss, posts ago, instead of digging in

 

[Moonwatcher]

He'll be available, it's just a matter of when

He won't be available to a club he views as not having privileged status.

 

[Geoffa32]

We better re-sign Nicksy before Richmond start sniffing around.....

So no errors then for Nicks, interesting

So admitting Nicks got it wrong wasn’t Nicks admitting he got it wrong

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Nicks will panic this week. Sloane, Laird, Crouch centre lineup coming up.

I'm insulted you did find a way to include Keays or maybe Keays into the ruck.

Not really going further after this post, because we’re circling and recycling the same dialogues. What matters to me isn’t the fine details of Nicks’ coaching, but the overall improvements and whether the players are looking like a solid team. If you’re looking to nitpick every single thing you can find then you keep doing you. I don’t want to be a part of that.

Just so you know, I’m still waiting till the end of the year to assess Nicks’ ability. As I see it now, I see a mixture of good or bad among the playing group, and a coach trying to lessen the bad while doing more the good.

 

[John Who]

So admitting Nicks got it wrong wasn’t Nicks admitting he got it wrong

You want me to really ignore you? Stop being a repetitive whining biatch.

We beat the 4th best team just a week ago, and all you can talk about on this thread is “name 3 Nicks errors”.. just enjoy life a little!

All people are wanting from you and Wayne is to acknowledge that nicks admitted he got something wrong.
For some reason you both are denying it actually happened and going on tangents that have nothing to do with the original point.

Nicks said he got it wrong in hindsight. I acknowledge it. Will it make you sleep better at night now? Want me to sing you a lullaby song and tuck you to bed too?

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Shouldn’t the year actually conclude before those stats can have any meaning? 55% has just become 50% and might be 45% in a week and 42% in 2. It was 75% part way through 21 and 22, should we benchmark from there?

Can only use what is available at the time of posting.... and it will go up again when we play north and west coast.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Ifs, maybes, coulda, shoulda.
If it wasnt for subbing Soligo and Dawson to defence.
How about Brown as the sub and Himmelberg over TT.
The fact Clarkson took over a team a lot poorer and lower than the one Nicks took over and is already 25% ahead in the W/L ratio of Nicks in the 1st year.

That's arguable. I'd say the second Clarkson got gifted priority picks and 3 picks in the top handful for Lewis, Franklin and Roughhead it was advantage Clarko.

No, just shut the **** up

No, just shut the * up

Ok you win. Back on ignore list you go. Enjoy the season!

I’m enjoying life just fine thank John Who. Me taking the piss out of your posting doesn’t mean I’m not, perhaps have someone vet your posting first, might make your time on here a little more pleasant.

Edit, not Wayne

Not sure why it’s taken this long.
