Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Were we not close? Did we significantly underperform, or did we make it to the grand final with the best %

Our ladder position incidentally was good enough only for 7th place in 2016. The argument is that we were not a dominant team in 2017 as some mistakenly claimed

in 2017 we had 17% more than richmond. in 2016 the dogs were ranked 7th for % and 35 % less than the swans.


its only part of the story

Dead man walking.

Dead man walking.

Dont like what ive been seeing lately. Too much of a friend not enough of a coach

 

[Geoffa32]

I have been pretty neutral on Nicks thus far.

But now convinced he is not the right coach for this rebuild.

There’s been zero improvement over last year. In fact we have probably gone backwards. I have no idea what our game plan is, anyone?

Ironically by coaching to save his job he is only likely to speed up the process of being shown the door.

 

[LoBu]

Wrong wrong wrong, the team is very close to clicking, we are rebuilding and Nicks has another year.

He’s got to go. He’s maxed out. All about effort. Can’t question the effort. Can’t get any more effort from them. The skills are woeful and the game plan stinks.

 

[LeftyLuke]

If anyone from the club reads this forum which I doubt. Please sack Nick's.

 

[kirky]

He is contracted until when?

I’ve been trying to hold back the evidence … but it’s getting overwhelming.

Players seem to get worse under him.

Thanks for keeping the seat luke warm Matthew, time to move on.

Cue new contact offer just before Clarkson comes onto the market.

Unfortunately, Roo and co want Crouch selected.

this is last year of his first contract, still has his full extension to go.

Which would have to include caveats you would think

Yeah and then sack Nicks.

it shouldn't because any caveats would likely favour short term thinking over genuinely rebuilding.

 

[1991firstgamer]

He’s s**t

Sooshi Mango are going to do a skit on him
Poo you bastard

What else is said in selection committees that you a clearly apart of?

Rebuild ??

It's gotten to the point where his coaching is not just costing us wins, it's costing us wins in the future with poor selection and development.

Guys like Crouch and Milera simply should not be playing. Guys like Cook should definitely be playing

 

[WetCrow1991]

Had to lock him up in case Tyrepower or Cash Converters wanted a new manager.
