It clearly doesn't seem to upset the players, but yeah I find it quite draining and uninspiring. I was waiting for him to just say something like 'Dan's going to be an absolute gun'.

Nicks doesnt and wont change his ways, experience wins out in his view every time

I’m sure Murray was going to play as Tex only played one game in the SANFL back from an ACL

No confidence in his own game plan no confidence in young players.

Well I don't have confidence in Nicks... but do in our players.

Murphy not being omitted is almost a big a joke as naming Jones and Burgess in the squad.

Murphy is kept in to spite supporters

Murphy the luckiest man in football.
In for JP, so straight back out next week? Nope. Pedlar has a corky. Can't make 2 changes. #Continuity
Has anyone checked the replay to see if Murphy gave Peds the corky?

Can't melt yet - hopefully Murphy is a late out.
Perhaps his stunning effort of 11 disposals (just 4 kicks) and a DE of 46% and no goals, points or goal assists is enough to keep him in the side.

If he stays in, use him as the sub.
Yikes.
Disappointing no Draper or Edwards. Perfect opportunity vs a bottom 2 team at the G.
I’ll save my melt in case Murphy stays in.
I don’t mind Jones to come in. One last chance to see if he has something to offer otherwise is done.
Confused about Burgess in extended squad. If he’s there to offer ruck replacement surely McAndrew is the better option? If one of our forwards comes out, best we just go with one of them down and throw Curtin forward.
Uninspiring changes, but what is new.

Nicks probably justifies his fascination with selecting experience by comparing it to the Pies team.
Not realising that the Pies experienced players are still performing, whereas ours are cooked, have better replacements in the SANFL, or just never had it.

9 games to go right? We aren’t going to be debuting players or playing young inexperienced players. This is all about this year now, pushing ahead with experience as we prep for finals.
The issue is Nicks is too much of a moron to realise experience doesn’t necessarily mean good like Murphy and he hasn’t taken into account should we get a run of injuries that we haven’t tested or given enough of our squad a taste of AFL this year

I'm pretty sure it was. We dropped games against west coast, Richmond and north in that 4 week stretch which could have easily been a candidate.

You'd have thought he'd be the in for Peatling last game if we had any intention of him playing in his preferred role.
Jones has had a few really top notch games. Not enough, for sure, but they were there. If he gets a go, watch us stick him at half forward, or back pocket, or some shit, and then drop him next week.
Brad Scott loves picking the experienced players too, in some part I put it down too they get along better with those guys, and have more in common, closer to age, have known longer more history etc.
With Adelaide pushing for top 4.Expect they likely mostly go experience over youth. But the high quality / first round youth will still be played when fit - Curtin, Draper etc.
At least the SANFL is still a pretty good development league for younger players.
In a weird way I’d like to see Jones get a crack. For no other reason than he was a pick 9 and we need to get something from 7 years of him running past the ball, squibbing and still looking like a schoolboy.

I don’t think he’s ever been a squibber he’s just never know where to run in the AFL
Certainly never squibbed, but very much a straight line runner.
I dont think thats changed after watching him in the SANFL, he's just physically stronger.
