Preview R23: Changes vs. Sydney Swans

[maxlilly]

The only silver lining to dropping Rachele is if it's a nail in the coffin for Nicks & others

Nicks is a dead man walking after today.
He's got the EQ of a rock

Hope Rash is in the crowd having a beer this weekend

Yep reckon he’s gone too

I have heard Keane wants to return to Collingwood.

A bloke named Shaun/Sean came onto 5AA around 6.20pm and said there is a lot more to the Keane going for personal reasons, and it isn’t going back to Ireland. It will all come out over the next 3 weeks. He said it won’t put the AFC in a good light regarding selection integrity.

Could be an interesting September.

 

[maxlilly]

Surely this also creates division in the playing group. Unnecessarily. Ridiculous

There's no coming back from this for Nicks, next year will be a complete write off.

 

[MarcusP2]

I tell you, if a young player can't live the desired values after 3 years (whatever that's supposed to mean)... Aren't you a bit shit at instilling those values?

 

[baldandbroke]

I’m done. That’s it.

I was close before, but this Rachele crap has pushed me over the edge.

We go on about our standards and our brand - like it’s not something we should be trying to throw in the garbage.

We are rubbish, and somehow we are celebrating the culture that has put us in this position??

Until I see a new coach ands a new approach - I’m out.

Expect clubs to come for Rachele this year. We deserve whatever we swallow down. Yum yum yum.

What?
Keane can see we have no selection integrity either, did the photos fall out of Murphy’s locker and Keane found them?

How much is a Tassie membership?

Hope you are right but I won't hold my breath. They signed him up and will lose face now if they sack him even though on every metric, we need a new coach and new line coaches - a clean sweep so to speak to reset the club

Team first focus
As they throw an individual player under the bus

Maybe they should follow what they preach

Nicks once again wont take any responsibility for decisions at the club

Using the leadership group to do his dirty work
Gutless

 

[CrowBloke]

Hope Sydney hammer us again.

Sometime, maybe as early as the second quarter, probably in the third, Sydney will turn the heat up after a strong start by them, which will turn a small lead into an unchase-able gap.
How will Nicks respond?*
What will the players do?**

(My guesses:
*Nicks will be Nicks and do nothing; his shit record will be shitter by another loss.
** The players will fold, take the 10+ goal loss and trudge off the ground in miserable silence after another dismal year: spoon, 15th, 14th, 10th, 15th again)

HAve you seen our leadership group?

Did anyone see our leadership group show any leadership after Izak got flattened?

 

[Gtowncrow]

This is the clubs lowest point.

7 years no Finals.
Bottom 4.

No confidence the club leaders can turn it around.

This is succinct...and depressing...and tragically factual.

Sobering stuff.

This post should be emailed directly to the club by everyone... tomorrow.

At 1:31:20

Shaun knows

I don’t think it will blow up like he says but Keane will go and I fully expect Rachele to go too. Question mark on Curtin.

 

[maxlilly]

Tex pushed for it.

We will have another year of him stinking it up and trying to install values that aren't relative anymore

Why do you think Tex pushed for it ?

 

[kirky]

What?
Keane can see we have no selection integrity either, did the photos fall out of Murphy’s locker and Keane found them?

And he was willing to bet a few bottles of red on it as well.

Keane will not becoming back to the club.

And did Matthew Nicks do a presser today?

I hope Keane spills his guts on enough dirty "selection integrity" revelations to get Nicks sacked by end September.

 

[maxlilly]

Imagine sitting in a serious meeting where Lachy Murphy and Reilly O'Brien are trying to talk to you about footballing.

Imagine those guys telling Curtin how to play

 

[Saliba]

What does this statement mean to you "Be you, celebrate, but always put the team first"?

It would mean celebrate with your teammates first
Didn’t seem an issue when he kicked winning goal against Essendon.

Let the kid celebrate!!!

 

[maxlilly]

I expect more from a captain.

I expect more from my club and coach
how pathetic

 

[spenze]

Brahahahahaha yeah let’s blame Tex

Not blaming, just stating what happened

I call BS. I say the Nicks, Footy Dept and Admin encouraged the Leadership Group to do this. It wouldn't be based on their true natural view surely. Unless they've been absolutely indoctrinated by FWit Nicks and Co. In which case all hope is lost.

EDIT: An I also think this was purely driven so they can manage any view that the playing list and footy Dept are split.

 

[Brenton Davy]

Wow!

For weeks nearly everyone has been calling for Rachele to be dropped and even traded. Now he’s been dropped everyone’s gone nuclear!

Come on, which is it?
