Maybe.The problem Nicks has is not youth, not sure which poster pointed this a couple of years ago (1970crow you perhaps?)
But Nicks at every opportunity will pick the senior player regardless of form, there needs to be injury to get younger players in.
How confident are you that without the injury to Crouch the injury/suspension to Rankine etc that we'd ever have seen Dowling or Taylor ? (I have no confidence at all)
He doesn't deliberately develop youth, thats the problem.
Actually get the ball and, oh I don’t know, maybe HIT A FECKIN’ target?!?!Why?
He's a skinny teenage kid, what were you expecting he was going to do? It would have been good for his development but would have done nothing to help us win.
how has he deliberately developed them though? Isn't there a thread about the complete lack of CBAs at the start of the year for Rachele?Maybe.
It feels like he's pretty deliberately developed Rachele, Michelanney, Jones, Soligo - but some like Worrell could have come in earlier.
I have no issue with experienced players, its when he keeps picking them regardless of form thats the problem.I think he brings back experienced players because we don't have many of them. We're already very young, trying to have a bit of balance there is probably valuable.
That being said, I don't think you want to move backwards now. I'm glad Smith didn't come back in and we backed that back six in.
So you’re ok with the treatment of Curtin?We chose to do a full rebuild, which is minimum five years. This is the first year you could argue we've gone backwards, and most expected that because rebuilds aren't linear.
I know every human in SA hates him, but Murphy had been pretty good the first three quarters and had done his role.
You sub Murphy off, then you need to move someone into that role because that's not Curtin. So you're doing multiple moves, just to get a 19 year old out there.
Starting Berry as the sub was the obvious move - except they were right to play him before Curtin, because he had an excellent game.
He forgot to add for MurphyView attachment 2067669
8 disposals in 3 quarters is playing well?
It is for Murphy.View attachment 2067669

Why am I not surprised at the poster who is sticking up for the sub decision?
Hope the club pays you to cup their balls.
Why?

A friendly comment from an outsider, I see teams have their ups and downs, but usually week for week lows and highs changes in form, but the Crows with them, it appears there is a roaming field of players , just carrying out the basics and then every now and again they play like supermen.Maybe.

Exactly, not sure what that poster's point was?FWIW if we subtract off Tex, our age loses about 0.8 of a year, which is about 8 months, putting us at 23yr 8 months. We also lose about 8 games of average experience putting us in high 60's low 70's territory depending on who else is in the team. Having Smith in the team takes us the other way by a similar margin. Whichever way you cook it we are still one of the least experienced teams in the comp.
They weren't struggling - it wasn't obvious AT ALL who to bring Curtin on for.
Christ, the same people with the same ****ing opinions on here, it's like people don't actually watch with fresh eyes every week.
the same coach it constantly defends.. funny thatI agree. It's a senior coach with no idea after 5 years.

It’s not a matter of someone needing to be dragged, it’s on the coach to try something because Geelong had us on the back foot.Pathetic comment.
The side was playing very well, and there were no players who were obvious weak links.
It's harsh on the kid, but there was no one who needed to be dragged.
Nankervis, Crouch, Murphy and LairdPathetic comment.
