Wow, helluva rant; I thought I was pissed off.EMPLOYING A HEAD COACH WHO COMPLETELY IGNORES A DUAL BROWNLOW MEDALLIST FOR AN ENTIRE HALF AND WATCHES HIM RACK UP 23 and 3 BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THAT WAS “PLAN A” YOU SEE.
Like you, I'm most annoyed by the quote above. It's on Nicks and nobody within the Club's inner sanctum can see it.
I imagine it went down like this; somebody asked on selection night:
"What shall we do about Neale? Wanna tag him, Nicksy?".
Nicks: "Nah, we'll be right. The boys are so well-coached by me that all they have to do is play how I've told them to and Neale won'e be a problem. I'm backing the boys in, especially now that our big-future-man-and-Leader Smithers is back".
23 touches and 3 goals later ... , Nicks, lost, in Coaches' box:
"Think we should do anything about Neale, fellas?".
