Review Semi final vs Hawthorn - Ugly, Historically Embarrassing and Pathetic

[Scorpus]

Quite a few players have stamped themselves as not finals players.

Mini clearout might be needed

 

[jamesclean]

No changes, see ya next year lads

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Utterly embarrassing

Couldn’t even complete simple handballs

[1990crow]

Exceedingly sad.

 

[KingChowder]

Usual finals choke by the crows, wish it wasn't the case but it's just an ending that always happens.

Nicks trying to play mindgames with McRae last week, and then this week to insist that Rachele is 100% fit, only to then play him sub, is next-level embarrassing. The bloke is not smart.

He’s pulled the wool over the boards eyes

 

[MRB37]

Nicks is a coaching coward and cowards die many times before their deaths.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Sack Nick's now.

 

[Combathorse]

Fire rob into the sun

42...

Nicks should be packing his things tomorrow.

Rachelle did better than half our forwards

Rachelle did better than half our forwards

Exactly! So why was he sub? If he's fit, he plays in the 22. If he's not fit, he doesn't play at all.

 

[Razza96]

ROB - terrible in the ruck and even worse around the ground in marking contests, he just doesn’t impact in the air. His grippo excuse for kicking can **** off as well, unless he is sniffing it and it’s making him an uncoordinated giraffe.

 

[Crowked]

We’ve been struggling for over a month. Finishing top was flattering considering what was really a poor form at the end regular season. We’re a mid table team. 6-10. We aren’t really top 4 yet. We have to recruit well, delist the dead wood, get another preseason into the young players and go again.
I’m giving Nicks one more crack at it.

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks is a pathetic spineless coward of a coach. A loser. A fraud. A tactically inept moron. A boring uninspiring speaker. A bed wetter and pant shitter. A failure. A historic embarassment to the club

He does not have it and never will. Get rid of him.

 

[Smoooothy]

Just when you think this club couldn't shit the bed any worse, tonight happens

 

[Magma]

whats even left to say. as pathetic as you can imagine in every facet.

and we know nothing will change, the losers will double down on their loser charges and nothing ever changes. just the names on the teamsheet.

 

[Cyclonus]

Sack Nicks.
Rankine should feel disappointed in himself too.
Glad it's over.

 

[arsene wenger1]

We’ve had 5 years to build a midfield however we’ve continued to neglect it

Zac Taylor actually looked like our best midfielder when he went in there. That’s saying something

 

[FR0GGY]

Worst of all is not even 1 qtr won, that’s horrible

 

[CrowToon]

Never in it quite literally from the first minute.

It's the midfield that has been totally exposed in this finals series. We just don't have the talent.

We are giving up clearances left and right which puts our defence under extreme pressure.

It also builds pressure on our forward line to he flawless.

Pressure invites pressure.

Nicks threw different players through the midfield however I didnt see anything different structurally for the entire game so I'm not surprised nothing changed.

Ill save more thoughts for the season autopsy but the only thing you can take from an abysmal finals series is that at least the team got the taste. It's a grim silver lining.

Dudes never been able to kick a football in his entire life.. Commentators "Must be the grippo on his hands"

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I can’t wait for Nicks to explain his ingenious coaching moves of:

• Berry on Newcombe in Q1 (David f’ing King did a whole segment this week on First Crack showing footage of Newcombe torching Berry last time we played the Hawks)
• Rash as sub
• Leaving Keane on Gunston

Nicks is so fn limp
