Great timing for tonight’s crowcast

Do we know the plan for the assistants then?

Do we know the plan for the assistants then?

Hoping this is all mapped out in the presser..

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Not really knowing anything about him, and with no senior coaching record to judge him by, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

For now. God help him if we lose round 1, though *shakes fist*

If our trading and recruiting is an indicator, I expect this a likely scenario.

Good. Failed coaches aren't what we need

So we keep hiring them anyway
Lyon failed coach? .
That's why we asked him FIRST !

So which players is he bringing from GWS? Isn’t that 1 of the perks of hiring a new coach?

 

[StonesThrow]

Liked him as a player. That's all I know.

I'm excited about the amount of change happening at AFC.. I really am. Welcome to club Mr. Nicks.

 

[ManInTheArena]

Let hope some quality assistants come in now.

Unfortunately they're probably mostly contracted and they wouldn't have get out clauses for another assistant coaching role. Furthermore, there are now two vacant positions (GWS and AFC) in a very limited market. I'd probably prefer go without or promote internally while grabbing someone from the SANFL on a 12 month temporary contract.

 

[Mike Smyth]

good luck to him. hopefully will be given support than pyke was given.

 

[por_please_ya]

Good luck Matt, hopefully we can start turning things around next season

 

[cmndstab]

Welcome Matthew Nicks! I know nothing about you! Hope you do a great job!


New coach, new footy ops manager, new head assistant, new captain (well, not new, but you know what I mean), going to be an exciting time next year!

 

[jenny61_99]

Let hope some quality assistants come in now.

And let's hope we've got them lined up... because GWS are looking for one now...

 

[Damp Squarie]

Congratulations Nicksy and welcome home .
Off to a brilliant start with this classic...

Cogz...

 

[Crouch#44]

Took an hour or so but I'm happy now...

Yze see you in 2023

 

[DroppingTheBall]

good luck to him. hopefully will be given support than pyke was given.

The impression I am getting from the breadth of change, is that the club has learned of its mistakes and is going about rectifying them.

Fages says it was unanimous. Scuttlebutt rumour to the contrary kicked off-stage.

 

[MatthewB]

why cant they have a mic for the reporters so we can hear the questions being asked

 

[NikkiNoo]

Stengle was a player I thought I spotted in the crowd sitting off to the side. Sounds like there are a few of them in there.
