I get the feeling [PLAYERCARD]Matthew Nicks[/PLAYERCARD] is now a complete part of the Adelaide Boys Club on the level of Trigg, Chapman and Craig previously
They will overlook serious flaws in him to keep him employed because they like him and he's "one of them"

So your POV is Balme doesn't know what he's doing .....interesting position, given Balme's history of success

I think balmes position at the crows is being severely overrated.

Regardless of his role, you can’t change decades of ingrained culture in a season or two.
A bit like Nicks

You mean, like Roo's influence in exactly the same role .....this is how people back themselves into a corner with a particular argument ......if Roo was the unhealthy influence, because of his role, people said Balme was the counterpoint
Now, because Balme is not of the same view as a footy forum poster group ....suddenly his position is overrated

Because it is the Adelaide way, being in the boys club is victory enough for these losers.
something very unique to SA and Carlton.

When Balme brings in one of his mates who ****s the club up, I’m sure his influence will be questioned moreYou mean, like Roo's influence in exactly the same role .....this is how people back themselves into a corner with a particular argument ......if Roo was the unhealthy influence, because of his role, people said Balme was the counterpoint

Agree re clarko. It becomes more clear each year that hawthorn actually knew which horse to back when exiting him.Maybe have a look at the 2026 "sacked coaches" betting market .....the view from supporters is invariably different from the wider footy market
Adam Kingsley has had the squad, and has failed in multiple Finals Campaigns to deliver .....Voss, well, he may not see the season out ....and the bells are ringing for Clarko, however IMO NORTH may surprise a few next season

Kingsley is a watch I agree but I feel he's closer to success than failure. I don't believe he's a guy they would swap nicks with.
Voss is a failed coach and I'll concede Carlton might do a swap...which we should refuse. Is it Voss? Probably is. But Carlton have been a coaches graveyard for decades now. Failed club probably as all their different coaches can't all be wrong. Surely.
All this confirms that an early extension is unjustified as the competition for Nicks services is very limited.
Do you have a logical reason for the urgency to extend now?

Not a black & white logical argument ....apart from player surety, particularly trade options we're working on thru 2026, who will want to know who's coaching
This period is critical ....the rebuild is done, and cannot be wasted by a coaching decision ....there's no doubt this subject has been discussed & debated thoroughly internally, for those reasons .....and there's a wealth of wise heads with coaching experience, making the call
The fact, Silvers has been on the front foot, without any stimuli to do so, is telling

I think Clarko is being judged unfairly. He took over a club that embraced failure. Players loved it there, they were all invested in a culture of failure. Not to mention ruin taking over from Noble, the lifetime wanna be AFL coach that finally got his chance. Clarko’s first year was a total write off due to the sham racism saga. He’s coached a cultural rabble for 2 complete season, not sure what people expected.
