News Murray Davis joins as Coaching Director
The premise was that the decision makers are the same as 20+ years ago. That was the point I was addressing. It's not. In fact, Olsen introduced term limits so it will never be true into the future. -
News Murray Davis joins as Coaching Director
You are correct. Initially I was addressing a point that the decision makers had not changed for 20+ years. This is clearly not true decision makers have changed. I mean Roo got us Walsh, and he is no longer on the board. -
News Murray Davis joins as Coaching Director
The review cleaned out everyone pretty much. As I have discussed earlier, anyone remaining post-review must have receipts as proof of meeting standards. There are no remaining board members from 2019. They are different now. Regardless of if I have made an error in remembering the exact... -
News Murray Davis joins as Coaching Director
We can't keep saying this and keep a straight face. Boards are made up of people who move in the same circles so have particular ways to run things. These same business practices won't ever change. We have been complaining about coaches since Craig. They all still "never play young players"... -
News Murray Davis joins as Coaching Director
That wasn't the question asked. The conversation was that West Lakes is very impressed with Davis and will be the next coach. As I said, there is a direct connection to West Lakes, but literally no idea of the quality of the opinion. Grains of salt were taken upon hearing the news. The main... -
News Murray Davis joins as Coaching Director
I'm not sure that this is correct. I am pretty sure the board is entirely different from 20 years ago. Davis was brought in specifically for his experience in Brisbane. Tempo footy is a footy style successfully implemented at Brisbane and this is his drive. It is to be seen yet, if they are... -
Preview R10: Changes vs. North Melbourne - Match of the Round
I heard that line this evening too. However, I am sure over the last 2 or 3 years I have heard how Geelong and Brisbane bat to 6 or 8 who can rotate through midfield. Half of what is said is just talking points. Gotta keep ears listening. -
Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2
Rachelle would have left after Lairdy threw him under the bus for the no teeth saga. Apparently he was being a bit of a prat that year and Nicks backed the leadership group for him to be dropped. If he was that thin skinned he would have sapt the dummy already. But he's hanging up the phone... -

Yep. That's the mail. -
Review R9: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Richmond
The try itself is not a main concern. Doing with Butts out injured is eyebrow raising. Persisting for a half.... silly in the context of our overall form. Was the Richmond game the game to try something?... sure... but was it also the time to play players in position and bat them all into... -
Preview R10: Changes vs. North Melbourne - Match of the Round
Would be mind boggling. A media smoke screen? -
Review R9: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Richmond
No, I wasn't being serious. It was more of a facetious, "if I didn't know bett statement. The solution is so simple, that one could be mistaken that he's being asked to play differently. In the end, he's coached a ground up rebuild from scratch up to a 70% win loss last year. Not saying he's... -
Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 4) - Re-Signed to 2027...
My best hypothesis is that he thinks he's • not exposing our game style to the best coaches. • teaching players to slow the game when oppo gets a run on. • trying out different options to cover injury. • the players will learn to swap between game styles as required. I'm sure he thinks his... -

With a bit of luck he'll be seconded to Carlton to direct their rebuild. lol -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14: Voss gone, who's next?
It's epidemic in the AFL. Rubs off on some coaches.
