And another one !!!
Mate, this season is about pick 1 now and if that means we lose 17 games so be it. Also I'm not entirely sure you can blame everything on Nicks
Game Day R5 v Fremantle @ 5/4/20 12.35pm Metricon: Honorable loss the order of the day, kids played well.

Having senior players in the side instead of green kids would certainly increase our chances of winning.
I guess we better sack the coach for not trying to win hey.

nope, gibbs is slow, soft, lazy and turns the ball over.
Prior to a ball being bounced this season on top of giving kids a genuine run of games when they ascended, the other request was no seniors hobbling around at 70% for whatever idiotic reason the club feels it's needed. We failed the first test with Davis, but we've recovered since. We're failing with Sloane and I hope that we eventually realise the folly. Watching senior players going around under clear duress shits me to tears.

Well, last week was zero for Mrouch, Brouch and Sloane in the centre square.
How many times did it happen in our deplorable effort against the Suns?

Is McAsey a terrible singer as this would have been his first chance to sing the song!
New to supporting the club?

He's right though, we've seen a change this year even if a slight one.
That said, I'll be disappointed to see Sloane and to a lesser extent Jones out there.
I don't see Mcasey back in until Harto or Talia get injured. Disappointing.

Then you've not been reading what the coaches have said.
I read that Mcasey is omitted and heard Nicks pump up Hartigans form on and off field. He isn't gonna drop him anytime soon.

You'll be proven wrong, I'm VERY confident with that.
You also have to reward form over wise it promotes mediocre even if they are young and senior players.
Who do you blame?

The drum beating begins
Jury is still out on Nicks, but he has shown is a clear intent to play kids. He knows full well that if he's going to succeed as a coach here, that developing Mcasey with others is key.
In the past kids have been dropped, or not selected based on perceived chance to win games. I doubt thats the case here - more likely Nicks things a break is in his best interest development-wise - whether thats rest physically, confidence (getting belted weekly has to take a toll on a kid), or level of effort.
Not surprised with the Hartigan call, freshen up McAsey for our home game at AO in 2 weeks. Crouch coming straight back surprised me, would’ve gone with Davis and I’m a little worried this means less mid time for Jones and McHenry.
The outs don’t bother me, I just would’ve made Crouch have one more big performance in the scratch matches before coming in. I hope that he actually plays as a pure inside mid this week and Brad continues his role from last week.

Dropping McAsey is right. He isn't playing with much confidence at the moment. He will get plenty of games this year but you would need to give young players a break every so often to play in a scratch match for the weekend to have a bit of an easier time. I believe a lot in him but this is good man management.
