I just saw the clip. Nicks is referencing tennis being an individual sport not a team sport like AFL. nothing derogatory just telling people they have to back each other up. amazingly it looks like its happening now.Bit harsh on tennis. But I guess you’re not allowed to say “It’s not f***ing netball” anymore.

side note i loved seeing rat sitting there like a kid in school that is trying to make themselves look small so the teacher doesn't ask them a question.
First time watching the clip, Crouch seems to have a level of arrogance and both he and Atkins don’t have a defensive bone in their bodies. Explains why they are no longer with us.
Crouch isn't and has never been a s**t footballer.it also shows why they are sh*t footballers. seeing crouch back talk the coach and say there were things that could have been done before his incident which could have changed the situation shows he has no accountability.
Not a s**t footballer, but not elite eitherCrouch isn't and has never been a sh*t footballer.
He's certainly played bad games, but he's a very good player at his best.
Brad is not the hardest trainer in the world so his lack of fitness prevents him from being a strong defensive runner or 2nd or 3rd defensive effortsFirst time watching the clip, Crouch seems to have a level of arrogance and both he and Atkins don’t have a defensive bone in their bodies.

That's an odd take you've got there.Sloane was worse IMO. Was making appeals to the reputations of the midfield group that bore no relationship to their performance, and suggesting that they were going to bounce back to prominence easily.
Pretty clear example of the attitude that saw us keep stumping up with the same failing group week in week out for years IMO.
That's an odd take you've got there.
Sloane's defending his players, which a captain should do. Many times during the doco he does put the hard word on too.Maybe. He and Nicks aren't in synch at all there though. Listen to the dialogue Nicks is talking about forgetting about what you think your reputation is, and rebuilding your game from defence. Sloane is talking about flicking a switch and going back to being the best.
Not a perfect transcript, but I think fair enough:
Nicks: the way to fix it Sloaney is not talk. It's actions. Its train it, and train it and train it... so that you're walking out of here with one thing on your mind. And that is, whatever I've been in the past, no longer. I now value defence, and I'm going to ******* show it
Sloane: have confidence that we've done it before, and we've done it really well. It's got to be a bit of a mindset that we've just got to flick because it won't take much and we'll get back to being the best two way midfield.
It feels like it's been edited around a bit, just from the way Nicks is sitting. Think Nicks said all that after Sloane's spiel, not that they're a back and forth conversation between the two.Maybe. He and Nicks aren't in synch at all there though. Listen to the dialogue Nicks is talking about forgetting about what you think your reputation is, and rebuilding your game from defence. Sloane is talking about flicking a switch and going back to being the best.

Brad fits in thenWhere are their kids? I’m stunned at who they have picked up - would any be considered A graders? Perhaps Hill and Hannebery was but now injury prone.
Most of these players are just mercenaries.

St Kilda are 1-2 to start the season, it is going to take more than just Crouch if they want to win games. I thank him for his efforts at Adelaide and don't miss him. He probably would have not made a huge difference to us if he stayed, we'll win around 10 games this year and finish around 11-14 on the ladder. St Kilda 50/50 finals chance, certainly not the best team in the comp right now by any means but it is early.
Brad Crouchwill be remembered fondly around here in 2023 when Sam Berry is dominating games.PLAYERCARDSTART5Brad Crouch

I thought they couldn't trade their 2021 1st rounder because they already did this previous years? We should have asked for their pick 17 but given how much they were actually offering B.Crouch......Conflicted...we accepted pick 23 and I am very happy with how that pick ended up but, we should have demanded their first rounder for this year, that squibbing still doesn't sit right with me...the way the Saints are going. we might have scored a top 10 pick this year

i was being hyperbolic, but to be an elite footballer you have to run two ways and Brad has shown he can't do that. He is really good at being a bull in a china shop, crashing in, doing a junk kick out of the pack and even snapping a couple of goals but he struggles to lower the eyes, and lacks polish. he isnt s**t but he was disappointingCrouch isn't and has never been a sh*t footballer.
He's certainly played bad games, but he's a very good player at his best.
