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

[Coopers]

There's a lot of "I want to be part of the cool group" with comments about the Crows in general .....and mostly you find those posters don't have anything tangible to add to any discussions ......are never right on any subject ....and are just posting for ***** & giggles, or to stir up other posters

I definitely want to be part of the cool group.

I asked the cool group if I could be part of the cool group and they said that you'd know it if you were cool.


But then I wondered if it would be better if I was hot. So I started an instagram account and got one of those ring shaped lights that make your eyes pop.



Now everyone loves me.

Part of the problem with the "we didn't handle the pressure" talk is in isolation you could maybe make that excuse work, but it's not the first time it's happened under Nicks. 2024 was a massive failure which they chalked up to "not handling expectations". It's a worrying trend that's developing under Nicks and part of me puts it on Nicks himself who retreats to a very scared and safe approach to the way we play the game when that pressure comes.

It's not a recipe that is every going to have any sort of success associated with it.

The whole pressure in finals is a bit of a red herring to a more glaring issue IMO. The games against Kangaroos and Eagles should have been complete beltings. We played bruise free footy on the eve of finals. We killed our own momentum and when two teams decided to show up in finals, we simply were not ready.

 

[Coopers]

Wait, there’s a cool group? That’s hot!

You can be in my cool group.

We need someone cross eyed. One eye looking at you, the other looking for you. We're gonna do one of those ragtag bunch of misfit things.

Hell yeah brother

There's always a crazy guy constantly on the edge in a ragtag bunch of misfits.

He'll get into fights and cause huge issues, but find his soft side in the pre-game of the grand final when he delivers a rousing speech.

 

[Coopers]

Best day of my life!

I am of course going to forget this within the next 24 hours, but for now.... autobots, roll out.

I wouldn’t expect anything less. Let’s go decepticons

Well the club has basically groomed everyone to blame the players. I dont think I have ever heard Nicks publicly declare that he made some mistakes during a match. Its always been the players.

He said he coaches for his job each week. How about taking the blame for some of your mistakes.

The tune was running through my head at the time!

He said he coaches for his job each week. How about taking the blame for some of your mistakes.

I listen to Mike Wells (Adelaide 36ers coach) post match pressers and it's almost like a night and day difference at times. He was asked last week about DJ Vasiljevic's struggles so far this year and said "I gotta figure out more ways to get him involved consistently through a game. That's squarely on me and I totally recognise that"

Maybe our coach should take note.

Do they teach that at Harvard?

 

[Pugsley]

Do they teach that at Harvard?

Yep. Underqualified.

 

[cleanhands]

Yep. Underqualified.

Probably taking it on board would help

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Do they teach that at Harvard?

There is teaching & the ability to actually learn.

Problem is need smarts to learn...

Crows to accelerate contract talks with coach Nicks

Contracted until the end of 2026, coach Matthew Nicks is set for talks with the Crows

What's the rush in accelerating contract talks - he's not going to be pinched? - Given the draw next year we could start 0-5 and how will it look then?

Uh oh

 

[Syd Crow]

Uh oh

Saw that. It was inevitable. Hopefully he has learned something but I won't hold my breath for that.

 

[Scorpus]

It's literally the perfect year to wait until the bye to make a call on Nicks because our fixture is perfect for finding out
