Preview R17: Changes vs. Brisbane: Back to the Future

[FR0GGY]

Nicks did say those words, but if you actually listen to the full presser, context paints it differently. The words in isolation are a little misleading and this is coming from someone that fell off his chair when I first saw the headline too.

Oh so we’ve signed him up as a coach going forward?
I’ll listen to it but not a fan of listening to him.

 

[ABAB]

How ridiculous to say Smith is a big part of our future. No one that age is the future in a developing side. Better off saying what he brings to the teamnif you want to be positive.

It just shows it's all words that aren't really thought out.

Depend on the context, I guess Nicks meant his future which is in 12-18 months????

 

[BrissyCrow]

It would be great to see the coaches do that this week.

Are you going to the game ?

I was planning to go but some family health issues have stopped me. Will just have to ride it out on the couch.

 

[Crows I Am]

Yea, i'd say Smith is definitely a big part of where we're at this year.

He doesn't want to say anything negative about Smith and hurt his feelings so he trots out this garbage. It now makes Nicks looks like an idiot because he has defended his player with something that isn't true. He could have just said he has been an important player for us and left out the garbage about him being an important part of our future.

If he can't make tough decisions, he clearly isn't cut our to be a senior coach.

 

[WeeBlake]

This isn't a 50/50 call in the club's eyes

It's a 100/0 call, so we're not snubbing a young player at all

There’s a science to it, you get 10 points per year of service, so this one Smith vs Ryan is approx 140/0.5

 

[Trigger13]

hahahaha

What??

No he hasnt. I bet if Jones play Cooks half forward role hed find more than 10 touches that Cook gets.

I bet if Cook played wing he’s be more effective than Jones. Horrible footballer.

 

[tinman]

Big part of the future??

What as a coach. Certainly not as a player.

Smith could potentially have more of a future as a coach than Nicks

Very uninspiring ins, and no unforced changes

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Jones or Smith for Hamill by the looks. Borlase and Burgo emergencies

Murphy only gets picked because he has been hanging around the senior players/leadership since the moment he walked into the club. Can’t have their mate dropped.

 

[footy4ever]

That's a job and a half for Smithers to be taking McLuggage.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Murphy named on the extended interchange

 

[dogs105]

From that squad, I'd have Jones, Borlase, Burgess dropping out. Murphy sub.
