Review R13: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Richmond Tigers

Remove this Banner Ad

Rowe is basically saying that Ricciuto, Reid and Ogilvie shouldn't be making any decisions for 2025 and the club needs a genuine external review.

He's not a fan of Nicks, but what external reviews do (as in, the ones that Richmond did in 2016 and Collingwood did in 2017) is pinpoint the key problems without fear or bias. External reviews don't look for scapegoats. They might point to ten bigger issues at the club than Nicks.

FWIW I don't rate Nicks.
Hamish is the reason we are where we are list wise.


No Ruckman under 28

No decent mids in the 22 to 28 age group from a draft.

Jones and McHenry.



He has done more damage to this club than any other individual.

Lairdā€™s body language is disgraceful and itā€™s an indictment on the club that he hasnā€™t been called out for it. Storms off at the interchange without even a glance at the teammate coming on. After Dowlingā€™s goal, he plodded over, yelled at the runner for 5 seconds, then walked off without even acknowledging Billy.
Every time he couldn't get the easy ball, he was jogging around. Lazy, entitled footballer.

Weren't the 'values' supposed to be about playing for the team? Laird is so far from that at the moment.

Didn't we have an external review, which was going to include the whole club, and was then changed to not include the board and management?
 
The fact that Nicks canā€™t see that Laird plods around and stat padsā€¦

Nicks deserves everything he gets.

Laird seriously reminds me of McGuiness, McDermott and A Jarman when Blight came in. Blight saw them for what they were and put the broom through them. All three were still racking it up, but offered no defensive pressure at all.

Thats not what happened or why.

He accused them of wielding too much influence over the club, being responsible for getting shaw sacked and being too big for the boots

It was the oversized influence and off field nonsense that got them cleared out

Thereā€™s only room for one Big Chief on Malcolmā€™s Reservation, and his name is Malcolm
 
Something Nicks will never understand:

Play Dowling from round 3, have him at 10 games experience and he probably kicks that goal.
Very perceptive . Cant argue with it

Love a summary . Is he getting into Nicks? .

Nope, blaming everyone else - who deserve blame but Nicks should head the list.

Now he is saying how poor Dowling didn't get any midfield or wing time - played as HFF, "they don't trust the young players"

Well, Rowe, you idiot that is on Nicks.
 
The bad is how much bloody better Billy is than 3 or 4 players that have been playing game after game this year! He was played in the graveyard position and still had 17 disposals and kicked a goal.

Next week play Taylor and Curtin as well instead of these list cloggers who have zero skills and can't execute under pressure.
 
Dowling reminds me a bit of Jarryd Lyons.

Let's hope it doesn't end the same way.

He had zero time for Jarman after he refused to play the year before
