Game Day Rd 16 Crows v Giants - Name the Excuse - Spoiler - Taylor saves Nicks, will he get another game?

[George Kramer]

Nothing against the win but GWS currently are not good opposition

Yep, their form has been ordinary and now out of the 8, not sure what’s going on there

They looked terrible at times last night

We really needed Fog to take over #1 mantle from Tex.

Now just need Thilthorpe back & our forward line will be looking decent.

Yep, given how they played last year, their talent, something is going on. I wonder if Kingsleys intense personality is getting to them or it could be a case of Hart being their midfield coach

More the latter

GWS are probably still hurting after that preliminary final lastyear they should have won and it was certainly a lost opportunity. Like us, I actually did not pick them to make the 8 this year.

You would hope - Sydney game was 9c as was todays

The rain did not keep 10k away

Syd Freo had 35k
Syd previous home game had 44k
Weather? Oppo? Hate the coach?

Opposition

Battle of the Bridge v a Fremantle game

Sydney have always been fair weather fans.

Yes that's true
It actually surprised me. Syd are playing good footy and the crowd would've expected an easy win. Makes it much easier to go watch when the weather is ordinary

James Begley presents the guernsey to Zac Taylor

Was Brad Dabrowski not available?

Begley and his kids regularly attend the ex-player functions. He's still very connected to the club.

And he’s a ripping bloke.

 

[WAG]

Yep, was only the last week Nicks justified not selecting Taylor as he had stuff to work on, how do you publicly make a comment like that and then pick him?

What Taylor showed last night is he’s a footballer that has it. He needs to play.

And the whole thing is only further exacerbated with the realisation that Murphy and McHenry have had 90 odd games pumped into them over the past two years!

 

[beartoo]

When did Nicks say Taylor had stuff to work on? I must have missed that.

Bullshit it doesn’t. The club will take any opportunity to keep him in given they’ve re-signed him too ****ing early.

Win another 2-3 games and he’s safe for 2025 so any win helps keep him there. I’d rather lose every game if it meant getting rid of him.

The club signed him for 2 years, they don’t need to do anything. If we kept losing, their hand would be forced. If he keeps winning, why would they want to sack him?

That’s my point, keep losing we get rid of him, win a couple more games and they won’t. Hence why I and others would prefer to lose than get an extra 2-3 wins in a shit season with a dud coach
