been that way forever. Cynical, vocal, negative nancies who seem to thrive on bad news.
Agreed, my only concern is that it’s not knocking his confidence around, if so that would be his biggest obstacleIf McAsey was a fifth year player not performing then the criticism might be fair.
He’s been in the system a little over 12 months. Be realistic. Talia wasn’t ready to debut until round 15 in his 2nd year at the club, Doedee at the start of his 3rd year, has it held either of them back long term?
Hysterical nonsense from people writing him off at this point. I don’t care what he’s doing in game 1-10, I care what he’s doing in game 50-250. Give the kid time. It’s not his fault the club have cleared out so much experience meaning we’ll probably have to use him this year, even if he might not be 100% ready.
"Mate, you make it hard for these kids": Tex still on top at West Lakes
Coach Matthew Nicks said Adelaide will put a younger player ahead of the former captain when the time is right.www.sen.com.au
Nicks comes off like a bit of a w***er here if I'm being honest.Good to see we still have a limited eye to the future and will be prioritizing a 30-year-old that definitely won't be part of our next premiership.
I expect the same to apply to Mackay who will play over a guy like Hamill because Hamill won't be at the level to push out a 200 game veteran
I'm looking forward to a round 1 forward line of Tex, Frampton and Lynch while Fogarty and Thilthorpe play SANFL
Nicks - "We’re not going to gift games, they have got to earn their spot. "
I think his comments might apply more to Fog than ThilthorpeNothing too shocking here, Tex has been our best performing forward thus pre season. Suggests that he will be managed at stages though which is good. Also says nothing about whether Thilthorpe plays round one.
Why ??Nicks comes off like a bit of a w***er here if I'm being honest.
I think you've missed the point significantlyGood to see we still have a limited eye to the future and will be prioritizing a 30-year-old that definitely won't be part of our next premiership.

Hoping Pedlar & Berry .....Pedlar is going to be one heck of a player ...... Garry McIntosh Mk2I wouldn't bother. Just get him right for round 1. Might as well give Berry a go in the midfield and see how that pans out.
Because he's talking about not gifting games to the kids when that's exactly what he's been doing with our senior players, Tex included. He just allowed Sloane to retain the captaincy despite his form being absolutely putrid so any talk of meritocracy rings hollow.Why ??
In theory the premise is sound. If Walker keeps his form up we all know he's good enough to keep everyone else out. To me he's pushing Tex to perform or he'll miss out.
I think you've missed the point significantly
I don't think that was strictly pointed at Walker.Nicks is quoted as saying:
"If a younger player who is 18 is good enough to push Tex out, then goodness me we’d be silly not to play that kid. At the moment that’s not happening."
"We’re not going to gift games, they have got to earn their spot."
So we're not going to "gift" games to young players who may not be at the same level as a veteran player right now, even if they have potential and talent. We will pick whoever is performing at the time and have no eye for the future
Sloane's form toward the back half wasnt putrid, he's just not what he was.Because he's talking about not gifting games to the kids when that's exactly what he's been doing with our senior players, Tex included.
