Talks about taking their time on him, want him to finish the year with confidence but also to work on his weaknesses, first off why say the latter in the public domain?
Who did he blame this time?I'd give Nicks the benefit of the doubt more if he didn't blame the players so often in his press conferences
It's very difficult to extract praise from him about certain players
The thing is Burns said they want Curtin to finish the year with confidence and then play him for 4 minutes. They literally don’t know what the **** they are doing.
This does my head in. A young bloke will play a ripper game and he'll get asked "Gee youngun played well?" And never actually replies with "He did. Great game from him." It's always "They all did. So did other player, and other player..."It's very difficult to extract praise from him about certain players
“He should just be thankful it wasn’t 3” - Matthew Nicks August 2024The four minutes at the end will be invaluable for his development
Not only that, but publicly saying you didn’t want to bring the young lad on as he might turn the tide is about as confidence sapping as you can get.The thing is Burns said they want Curtin to finish the year with confidence and then play him for 4 minutes.

Especially when we actually kind of needed someone to turn the tide. After TT's goal we were clinging on for dear life, it was one way traffic. It wasn't a matter of if Geelong would kick goals it was when. Some fresh legs might have been useful.Not only that, but publicly saying you didn’t want to bring the young lad on as he might turn the tide is about as confidence sapping as you can get.
Yep he’s basically saying we expected to be losing badly and we’d bring him on, so what message is that to the whole team?Not only that, but publicly saying you didn’t want to bring the young lad on as he might turn the tide is about as confidence sapping as you can get.
Then This may actually assist in getting Nicks fired. He doesn’t have the track record to to justify that , we are not gunning for finals and we already let him get away with Murphy’s ongoing selection. Might be the best thing to let the others working there see how blind he is to development in what is a lost season.I think another poster mentioned it but likely on the money, Nicks obviously doesnt rate Curtin but someone from above has told him he must be selected.
Nicks has probably gone F U this is my team and making sure Curtin has no ability to showcase his talents.
Saying you didn’t want to sub him in because we had momentum is the most asinine thing ever. You’re not taking a time out you dimwit.
Even if we do sack Nicks before he can destroy this list anymore, I fear the damage has already been done. Curtin would be crazy to stay after the way he has been treated.Nicks needs to be sacked ASAP
I'd give the new coach a chance. Don't punish him because of nicks' garbage.Even if we do sack Nicks before he can destroy this list anymore, I fear the damage has already been done. Curtin would be crazy to stay after the way he has been treated.
I hope so. Given how many drafts they have failed in we need to keep the few genuine talents we have.I'd give the new coach a chance. Don't punish him because of nicks' garbage.
Bolton would be bloody handy in this Freo side.Fremantle are gonna land Bolton and West Coast will get Baker, so if he does go home there won't be that good a pick left to get him or it'll be future picks but we need current picks
