I just called, to say, where are you?
Not yet and neither are JHF or Reid who you mentioned but after what he has shown this year, he is in front of them to get to those players level in the next few year

But they will develop into those types. You need one to win a flag.
Anyway I think Rankine is elite but just don't think he will take the team to a flag. Hope I'm wrong.
Finishing bottom 4. We actually donāt want to win now season is shot. And you canāt give our highest rated draft pick more than 4 minutes in a game.
Nicks is embarrassing the kid and ruined a year of development.

Right now with the youngsters (shame Curtin hasn't been given the opportunity "yet") contributing in these honourable losses and not affecting our chance of pick 4, very good in terms of list development
One of the most infuriating things about this game was us trying to defend a 2 point margin with just under 8 minutes on the clock to go with a full defensive flood, basically no chance of scoring ourselves. Just idiotic and ugly stuff. Who the hell wants to watch that?0.2 to 3.4 between the 3rd and 30th minute in the 4th quarter
Great job Nicks, pats and high fives all around
Didn't someone said you need elite players to have a chance of winning premiership? So why wouldn't Rankine given he is elite, he has already won us games from his performance this year.

Well, clearly the players were getting tired because he used sub Curtin into the game until 4 minutes left so he had to flood lol.

Subbing Soligo when he was our best player against Collingwood is right up there.

Nicks is an ars&hole the way he treats curtin. Never hated a coach more

It's not really their job, though. We're a bottom team and we lost a game we were expected to lose - their entire job at the post game media conference is to ask the same questions they always ask, and get a couple of quotes to insert into the match report they finished writing before the game was over.
They only ask extraordinary questions if something extraordinary has happened, and that's usually done by one of the headline hunters who doesn't normally attend.
-16 on Inside 50's and -9 on scoring shots, as well as being -18 at stoppage clearances. ROB dominated the hitouts and it did nothing to help us win around the ground.
Got up by 10, I don't think Nicks knows how to win games, he just tries to hold onto them. Squeezes it so tightly they just slip through our fingers though.
The talk of using the sub as an "impact player" was obviously just some BS he came up with to justify subbing Curtin off twice earlier in the year. He's shown very little interest in using him, which makes me wonder who is forcing him to select him at this point, cause it can't be Nicks who wants him in the team.

Malcolm Blight famously left Lucas Herbert on the interchange bench for the whole match in round13 1999 to teach him a lesson and was widely panned for it. But he was a late draft pick and a ruckman who wasnāt all that good.
Nicks leaves Curtin, a high draft pick who can play, on the bench for basically the same amount of time when we ran out of steam in a close one. If playing youth too early destroys their confidence, what does messing with their mind yet again do?

Nah, Blight would have found a way to use it effectively. We basically just Nicks it completely.
We looked half decent when RT went into the ruck, more dangerous and his footskills are superb for a big man.
Unfortunately we need him up forward but it highlights (not that we needed it) how bad ROB is.
It could even add to Nicks thinking re gameplan on having +1 at stoppages. To make up for ROB.
Also shows how woeful and inept our recruiters/list management are.
The whole club needs a clean out and replaced with competent people.

The Intro was what I hoped we'd do to Geelong.
In the end we were Nicepool.
