[Redleg Crow]

Good: Nicks has to be nearly gone.
Better: Strachan gives the list manager people nowhere to hide.

 

[StickerMan]

Laird needs to be traded

 

[GreyCrow]

Keane on Amartey

#ThatsASacking

 

[I Lost My Keays]

There’s so many players that need to be accountable. Letting Amartey kick a bag and Swans kicking the last 8 goals is disgusting.

Laird is stat padding
Jones is delist material
Strachan isnt an AFL player

It’s actually sad, how we have some very good spurts and then roll over and capitulate. Nicks and Co have no plan B

 

[StickerMan]

Murphy delist

 

[CrowToon]

16 pts up with 6 mins to go in the third.

21 pts down at 3QT.

40 points down with 10 mins to go in the last.

42 Pt loss (hooray we held them up after they gave up trying)

Capitulation on a scale hard to fathom.

NOTHING done about Amartey.

Sack Nicks.

 

[Smoooothy]

Way too many passengers on this list

 

[GreyCrow]

It will be deflected onto our missing leadership players

 

[bigman]

Love the changes we made during the game. Oh wait

 

[GreyCrow]

The Good
Our start
Our enthusiasm
Michalanny starting midfield
Fogarty

The Bad
Whatever was said at half time
9 goals in a row by Sydney

The Ugly
Many complained and condemned Curtin for having 3 goals kicked on him - well look at Keane
Nicks not making any move
Laird - cooked and Nicks knows it

The Future
Time to go - Matthew Nicks

Nicks is absolutely clueless, particularly on match day.

We are losing in multiple ways in different situations, against a variety of teams irrespective of their level, and have no consistent identifiable game plan ourselves.

After five years.

 

[Scorpus]

I can only assume Nicks arrived at the game late

 

[Billy_01]

We’ve been rebuilding for 5 years and most of our team has played like 20 games. How is that even possible

 

[Greenfinger]

Love the changes we made during the game. Oh wait

Agreed. But it’s why they won’t sack Nicks . Will blame the list but we also happen to have an idiot coach too

 

[GreyCrow]

cleanhands - soon soon could even be this week

 

[Greenfinger]

We’ve been rebuilding for 5 years and most of our team has played like 20 games. How is that even possible

Because we never rebuild the midfield. Kept playing older players

 

[cleanhands]

We know how to beat Sydney

 

[pjcrows]

"See what happens when you play kids like Michalanney in the midfield before they're ready" is an absolute lock from the apologists this week, without a hint of irony.

 

[Scorpus]

We were smashed in the middle because the players Nicks has finally settled on are all about 30-50 games behind where they should be in midfield experience.

And once again that's on Nicks
