Be honest, was anyone here genuinely stoked we hired Nicks on day one?
That's gotta be a rhetorical question right?

A loss this week to Norf and the drums will a sounding.

Luckily for the board their ears appear painted on.
 
Assuming Buckley wouldn’t come - who would be the field we would be looking at.

Montgomery at GWS
Leppitsch at Collingwood
Hansen at Carlton
Bruce at Brisbane
Cox at Sydney.

Other options?

First and foremost we need to beef up recruiting

Never liked the appointment from day one

Was a Hinkley protege

Wanted at the time Mark Stone or Matty Scarlett

Would still take Stone , Scarlett hasn’t progressed

Whatever happened to the highly rated Leigh Tudor?


First choice is Buckley
Followed by Cox and Stone
 
I don't want to go early but...

...his entire success as a coach will hinge on whether he selects David Mackay in round 1 next year

His very first job upon stepping into the club should be taking an angle grinder and cutting Mackay's permanently attached magnet off the team board

Mackay did not play round 1 but did play 28 games over 2 years under Nicks.

Should have seen the writing on the wall back then
 
Forget the Facebook and twitter fans, there are still 28 people here that are in the ‘ firmly yes, love what we’re seeing’ bracket. Admittedly not all Crows supporters but a vast majority are.
I’m curious to know what it is they’re loving about his coaching.
 
Since Adelaide joined the AFL in 1991 there are only three teams to have NEVER had a sustained period of top 4 finishes. By that I mean finishing top 4 at least 3 times in 4 consecutive years.

Gold Coast
GWS
Adelaide

We are not a well run club and you could argue we never have been
In fairness, we were one Essendon cluster**** away from doing that in 2005-08 (granted, we may not have deserved it). The fact we've never had two consecutive top 4 finishes outside of that is astounding though.

Aren’t they the initial votes?

Edit I’ve changed mine from leaning to sack. I Hvent rated him but was prepared to give him the year but he’s clearly a dud and needs to **** off before he ****s up the development of more of our players.

Plus I can’t stand looking at his smug face and listening to him
