Roast Stop Gunstoning Curtin, morons

[SLOWNE]

Nicks always feels like he is the smartest guy in the room.

Actual smart people are always looking to improve, challenge their knowledge and learn from those who might be better.
The smugness that radiates from that shiny scone actually makes me feel sick.

He thinks he's playing chess whilst everyone else is playing checkers, reality is he is participation award recipient.

Nicks thinks he's coaching the early 2000s Australian test side. It's too hard to break into this team of champions.

and most of the others would have played more if not for injury

He has in the past though. Thats whats so frustrating.

One of the positives of Nicks is that he got our young draftees into the side pretty quickly.

2020 - Nicks played McAsey the first 10 games. Schoenberg debuted rd 10 and played 8 consecutive games.
2021 - Berry played the first 5 games and 17 games in 2021. Rowe played the first 18 games and ended with 19 out of 22. Thilthorpe had his debut in week 6 and played 14 of the last 17 games.
2022 - Both Soligo and Rachele debuted RD 1 and played significant games.
2023 - Max debuts rd 1 and plays all season.

His first 4 years we had a rookie debutant in the first round. In 2024 we had to wait until round 13.

Its what makes the Curtin decision so baffling. I could understand if we were sitting top 6 right now and battling between top 4 and making the 8.

Round 1 is the key. There are players that were anointed top 26 during the preseason. Rarely do players not anointed work their way into the 23 whilst consigning someone else to the 2s.

You know what they say... Key position players take longer...

I thought the saying was “the adelaide football club takes longer?”

There must be great things happening behind closed doors because publicly we don't seem to value him anymore than you would value a pick in the 50's.

He thinks he's playing chess whilst everyone else is playing checkers, reality is he is participation award recipient.

I don’t know about that. He seemed genuinely vulnerable when things were really bad a couple of weeks ago. Maybe he knows he’s not as smart or crafty as the best coaches, but thinks he can somehow make up for it with grit or spirit or something.

Either way I agree, he’s done nothing to show he can compete tactically or strategically with even middling coaches.

When you are losing to Adam Yze, you should start to be concerned about your performance

One billion percent.

Remember when he thought he'd cracked the sub tactics? That preselecting when and who to sub off in order to get an "impact player" on the field was some sort of undiscovered gold?

Such a lack of self awareness

SANFL commentators just said he's at AO. He'd better be playing.

The alternative is surely beyond even us

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Indeed.

If he is non-playing emergency, then our selectors have gone beyond insanity.

Suspect he will be sub... when should be a tall.

 

[DJ75]

Smith out - Curtin in. As sub. Because of course.

 

[Geoffa32]

Three AFL games, all as sub.

Shakes head.

Gut feel or Intel?

 

[whattagun07]

diabolical use of Curtin, yet again.
According to SEN, spent the first 10 mins of the 4th QTR on the bench after being subbed on in the 3rd.
