Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 4) - Re-Signed to 2027...

[119others]

Definitely can make a case for it but I just can't see it. We are not catching Sydney and Freo They are basically four wins ahead.

Means we need to catch one of the Hawks, Lions, Cats and Suns which taking into account percentage are two wins ahead. They have all dropped games they shouldn't but generally bounced back.

Definitely possible but we can't win them all so at some point we will need to get on some serious winning streaks. I just can't see it with this group.

yep, same here man. i think we all feel quite low about our prospects currently. just need an inspired performance to reset our hopes perhaps

I'm now contemplating a loss this week . Yet its more a combination of North playing much better connected football this year and our mixed results

I had us 7-4 after 11 but I think that needs a win over North and Hawks - as noted our next month will shape our season

NM ??
Hawks away - oof
Geelong home is gettable
Bulldogs away oof
Melbourne home gettable

 

[Crowtel]

Those nuffies prefer to focus on the first half

game recognises game

Win three of those which is possible still only gets us to 7-7. I don't know what we would need for top six but I think we would still be back in the 7-10 pack

3 wins would be 8-6.

We win 3 of those 5 we will be 8-6 not 7-7.

NM, Geelong and Melbourne are all at home so should be non-negotiable wins but we will probably struggle.

Reckon more likely to beat Bulldogs at Marvel than Hawks in Tasmania.

If we do get to 9-5 (4-1) we will be well positioned for the remainder of the year. Have my doubts tho.

back as a specialist coach for the Crows, could lead to bigger and better things possibly as midfield coach for the men's comp?

Not a horrible thing to have a guy who played under Fagan as part of the coaching staff.

Good to have him back at the club.

Yep, purely on feel, he'd be an upgrade on VB

With Voss gone, is Nicks now under the most pressure?

With Voss gone, is Nicks now under the most pressure?

McQualter I reckon, then Scott, then Nicks and Yze.... the latter having the excuse that he'll probably need to put himself on the emergency list this week.

 

[Croweater78]

With Voss gone, is Nicks now under the most pressure?

He's certainly getting up there now. The other coaches under pressure haven't had as long as Nicks....and I'm over the excuses of his first couple of years. This is year 7. Win finals or he won't be there next year.

I love that the media are starting to call him out and I love headlines such as 'are Adelaide the most disappointing team so far?" The answer is yes, yes, yes. Or...Nicks, Nicks, Nicks.

We'll see who forgot when they release the teams

 

[King Elvis]

Long thread, interesting analysis.

Fantastic analysis.

Every other contending team understood the direction the game was moving in, and adjusted their gameplan to suit.

We did the opposite.

SACK NICKS.

Imagine reading that and still thinking Nicks is the man…….

That's still up for conjecture

Well he keeps saying he isn’t on social media so that reminder wouldn’t be popping up.

 

[pjcrows]

Nicks reckons our game plan hasn't changed much, just our execution.

Neither any good, if we are having trouble executing it, flush it down the schizen house

I'm wondering if he is doing a Pizza night for the boys tonight, like Pyke did

 

[GreyCrow]

Neither any good, if we are having trouble executing it, flush it down the schizen house

or the players

I dont know many coaches who would back the boys in if they continually failed them
