Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 3) - Re-Signed to 2027...

[Kane McGoodwin]

FFS... what is the rush!

See how he goes next year, then decide.

Our Board are dumb enough to repeat their mistakes. If it all goes South, they can fund the payout.

I could cop a 1 year extension, any more and we're repeating past mistakes.

are we afraid of another team poaching a losing record, unable to win a final coach, why not wait until the bye

There’s 16 other clubs desperate to achieve what we did. Finishing top home and away is valued higher than any other outcome apart from winning the flag. They’re all after Nix.

Nicks has as much chance of getting an AFL job as Murph has of getting on another AFL list

Laird should try out as a punter after his AFL career.

"the snap, ball to punter Laird and that thing is going to the moon"

Same, The board seems uncomfortable aiming for finals while he’s out of contract

Run this past me again.

Run this past me again.

His last extension was early in a year we were expecting to make finals, having missed by a kick the year prior.

 

[CrowToon]

They couldnt be this stupid surely. If any of them genuinely think Nicks will get poached they are insane. If he gets sacked he will be an assistant coach somewhere. Shouldnt be touching a contract prior to the bye

 

[cleanhands]

The reality is the board see it differently to a lot of us, we better get ready for it

This is a self-perpetuating board fine tuned during the Trigg era.

 

[Velvet George]

They don’t want the pressure of talk about his extension, because that worked so well in 2024.

 

[Syd Crow]

You just know it,

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They're not waiting for an opening round loss this time

Minor premiership! We shoot for the stars

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Run this past me again.

Written back to front

They dont want him out of contract while aiming for finals , because it will be a distraction

I think some of the clubs board might be having doubts on him but not ready to move him yet, but if he gets more than a 1 year extension, this will be disproven

 

[Peter Doherty]

Devil's advocate here, if it's a 1 year extension that has a pay out protection in place, what is the downside?

 

[AFC979810]

1 year extension is fine. Understandable.

Anything more - we riot.

Lack of urgency
Lack of pressure
Complacency
Content with what we've been doing

We've been all about the future for a long, long time. Eventually there's got to be more than just positive signs and feeling that we're moving in the right direction

I'd offer a 3 year extension that kicks in as soon we win a final in 2026

Edit - a non-wildcard final I mean
