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

Remove this Banner Ad

People on 5AA starting to fall into "It's not Nicks fault, he's got no players!" trap and want the list fully rebuilt again. And while it's true that is having an impact, I wouldn't be trusting Nicks to take another group of players and expecting different results. He's shot his shot and he's shown he hasn't evolved all that much since he first got the job. If anything he's pulled the club backwards with some of his tactical decisions and gameplan designs, let alone then having injuries too.

People who put that line out there ****ing baffle me.

Nicks selects the team every week....

I thought Strachan was shit myself, we got completely hammered in the midfield and he won nothing. rOB isn’t good either but I think we almost win with him playing.
We have put out the worst team ever tonight I think, most of the players tonight wouldn’t get a game with another AFL team.

Nicks is an idiot and the structure today was diabolical or he’s lost the players. We repeatedly help onto the ball for ages and let Richmond set up defensively before kicking the ball forward. The only light in this shit year is we will get our hands on a top 5 pick to hopefully get a top class midfielder that we have been crying out for.

Agree, Strachan was no good in the ruck. Was good at getting around the field but that's about it.
 
If Nicks mutters anything about injuries I'll spew. We've been blessed for 18 months with our modest injury list compared to half a dozen ravaged clubs.

This is about playing cooked players, about playing non AFL standard players, about not trusting youth, about crap selection policy etc etc

Nicks does not have the answers, our season is DONE so play the kids, play for the best draft pick we can.

Anyone think we can take it up to the ladder leaders next week?

Agree and the talk about our DNA like an idiot. Our DNA is losing and playing shit, proven over his tenure

This is kind of a problem of our own doing though, right? Totally agree with your post.

The list is diabolical, has been for ages, injuries aren't even close to the reason why.
 
Diabolical: Centre Bounce Attendance numbers are in!

J Dawson and J Soligo (22), R Laird (20), K Strachan (18), S Berry (10), J Borlase and C Burgess (4), J Rachele and H Schoenberg (2).

Berry had more than I was expecting really, but Rachele and Schoenberg having 4 between them (while **ing Laird gets 20) is ***ing horrific. Dowling getting none is * too, but not really unexpected.
