Review R21: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Geelong Cats

[Hell Boy6669]

Curtin looked very flat coming on the field. Really feel for the kid.

 

[Stephen2]

Great to have Worrell & Murray back. What a brilliant pair!

lost that game.

Dawson a rock behind the ball for a lot of the game

Geelong repeat entries in last 10 minutes. Dawson on the bench.

Curtin as sub not on till 3 minutes to go....

That loss is in the box and mismanagement of the last 10 minutes.




Nicks is a tactical pygmy.




The players were awesome.

Nicks is a terrible coach. He needs to go before he destroys more players

 

[NTRabbit]

For a team to be this tactically naive in round 20 of year 5 of the current head coach just isn't good enough

 

[Southerntakeover]

Curtin looked very flat coming on the field. Really feel for the kid.

They're going out of their way to embarrass him. Like he doesn't feel it. He's just a ****ing kid.

The coach is basically just bullying him out of a career. For what reason?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I would ask for a trade if I was Dan Curtin.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

What instruction does nicks give to our players when the games are close?

 

[King Elvis]

Putting Curtin on from sub 4 minutes to go is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen by this club.

Sack the prick now.

Hopefully we can get WCEs first pick this year for him.

Inexplicably terrible treatment of a young kid.

Nicks is ****ing hopeless in so many ways, but this is unforgivable.

 

[Crows I Am]

Good - once Nicks finally gets the boot we will jump up the ladder quickly. We have a great group of kids coming through.

We saw tonight when it all clicks we can take it up to anyone. Get a coach in who knows what they are doing and watch this group really take off. He is holding us back and we won't be a serious contender while he is in charge.

 

[Southerntakeover]

I would ask for a trade if I was Dan Curtin.

Can we all go with him?

We've been saying that about losing close games for four years now.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Can we all go with him?

Like with Lebron fans. We can say we're not Eagles supporters, we're Curtin fans.

 

[RodnyDangrfield]

Good: Rachele I thought was back to his proper level for the first time since his debut season. Credit where it’s due

 

[steve9798]

The treatment of gun young players by this arrogant, out of touch and incompetent club is an outrage.

How can you have confidence that this club will be a contender in the future when it so incompetent at every level.

 

[secondary]

Maybe one day I'll see us win in Geelong. That was it, that was the one we should have won.
**** Nicks with his treatment of Curtin.
Loved our run in the third, but knew once Geelong's pressure ramped up in the last we were going to get overrun. Just wish we held on.

 

[King Elvis]

Curtin looked very flat coming on the field. Really feel for the kid.

Can't blame him - what the **** is the point of coming on cold, with 4 minutes to go?

 

[Crow-eater]

At this point I WANT Curtin to ask for a trade because the way we're treating him is disgraceful.

The majority of the players were dam good.

Up untill the last 10 minutes a real case of genuine all played well.


Then Nicks pissed it all away

Honestly, I don't want to be complicit in us doing this to people. What a ****ing awful awful way to conduct yourself as a football club.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Would’ve won that if any other AFL head coach was in our box today

Lots of players individually played well, just sucks that Maffew is tactically and developmentally inept

 

[Geoffa32]

How good was Worrell.

We just need to sack Nicks, band aid off, new coach in before draft/trade week and given Curtin assurances we are not completely incompetent

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Sack Nicks.

 

[Cap]

How good was Worrell.

He is seriously good.

I just hope we keep him
