Tonight's game would be the perfect setup if wildcard weekend was a thing. Instead it's a dead rubber. Just saying ...

I think some will pay the price at AFC. They keep the wolves at bay for months, and I don’t see them keeping the wolves at bay any longer. I think Nicks gets sacked at season's end, and next Showdown, I wouldn’t be surprised if both clubs, us and them, had new coaches.

My money would be on the Crows having a new coach before us.

I think some will pay the price at AFC. They've been keeping the wolves at bay for months; arguably Crows supporters will say he should have been sacked after the Richmond game. The way they handle the Rachele situation, Keane being disillusioned to the point where he wants to leave the club, the divide in the playing group and division through the whole club. I don’t see them keeping the wolves at bay any longer. I think Nicks gets sacked at season's end, and next Showdown, I wouldn’t be surprised if both clubs, us and them, had new coaches.

Oh mate, you can take to the bank.

You'd think that those responsible for extending Nicks prematurely would be under some pressure too.

I believe he's going regardless of any contract extensions. As in they have a 10 year limit.

checks date stares at Koch, Cardone and more

That second name , Rod Jameson.
I used to live next door to his mother, talked to him when he used to visit.
Absolute Boofhead with tickets on himself.
Perfect for the Crows board.

 

[El Zorro]

I'm getting worried they will sack nicks

please don't sack nicks.. please

This, if true, will give them a great excuse to get rid of him.

 

[backtozero]

Nicks was always a bizarre choice. Seemed like a desperate move at the time and still looks that way now.
The guy is so uninspiring and I don't know how anyone could stand to listen to those strained vocal chords day in, day out.

There is always going to be dead rubbers. If we had the 9-10 wildcard system, eventually will be games between 13 and 14th that wouldn't be dead rubbers if we had a wildcard system from 9-12 or something stupid like that. The league has enough mediocrity as it is. Leave it alone.

Enjoy your dead rubber

Rachelle was probably dropped for a combination of reasons, one for his lack of discipline for carrying on like an absolute dickhead with the teeth BS, and the other for squibbing at least one crucial contest when the game was still on the line.

He does have talent but it would be no great surprise if the tingles have had enough and he will be used as trade bait to get them eg Lukosius, but given he is so far up himself a coach like Hardwicke may not be interested.

Maybe that want him to consider his options (ask for a trade)

Who would have thought 2 of them related to the w***ers on the 5AA breakfast show.

 

[Flash of power]

They need to sign Tex to keep the group together.

yes and he needs to take them on a camp

 

[240volt]

Enjoy your dead rubber

The first 5 games of the round will be about as exciting as watching paint dry.
It’s all about Super Sunday!

But he's a dual premiership player

But he's a dual premiership player

Think he only played in one ?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

A pay dispute between Tasmanian electrical workers and TasNetworks could throw tomorrow’s Hawthorn v North Melbourne fixture at York Park into disarray, with just over 24 hours to go before the scheduled first bounce in Launceston.
As first reported by ABC’s Chris Rowbottom, uncertainty now surrounds the fixture due to an ongoing pay dispute between the two aforementioned parties, which could force the AFL to make a “last resort” change of venue – or at the very least, an earlier start time.
Fox Sports’ Drew Jones has since provided an update on the fixture reshuffle, reporting that the league is set to maintain the same venue in Launceston, but with a changed in start time from 4:40pm to 12:30pm local time.

But the pies will be cold!
