How can the Bhagwan Nicks state in a media conference that Dowling has things to work on and that Curtin isn’t quite ready when the dynamic duo McFlurry and Smurphy have gotten to 65 and 101 games respectively???

Are they complete players? Their stats and their games would suggest otherwise.

Time for the hugging to stop!

And what’s the bet McFlurry will be on the end of some lucky ball somehow jag 3 and be in for the remainder of the year and then revert back to being the “Momentum killer”
It’s what Nicks-is banking on
 
I would really like to know Reid’s true thoughts. The work put in, the manoeuvring and deal to get Curtin for example and then to have the coaching panel not even show the slightest inclination in picking him. Reid along with Burgess are actually doing their jobs, being let down by others.

He’ll (Nicks) be hoping a win this week quietens the noise. Not likely…
The next three weeks, starting with Thursday, nationally televised showdown. A loss there (and if it becomes a Port downhill ski event) and there is nowhere to hide. Would be a stark reminder of the regression, considering how you beat them last year.
For the sake of him going, it may need to happen :(

Weagles will be keeping MASSIVE tabs on Curtin for sure... The longer we let him drift aimlessly in the SANFL the better for you.

If we 'Mcasey/Gunston' this kid then you will deserve to get him and play him to his strengths alongside Harley.

We did really want him. We need all the talent that we can get 😆

I think he’ll eventually get picked by the AFC and stay in the side, but also hopefully the new coach will value him and play him to his strengths. I do hope so, seems a great waste of talent if he doesn’t get the opportunity.

Honestly - just stop the bs Matthew. Every single player has something they need to work on. That isnt an excuse for not playing someone. While with Curtain I can maybe see the logic, and understand he was injured over preseason, for Dowling in particular there is ABSOLUTELY NO F*CKING REASON why he shouldnt be playing. We deserve to lose this week, and totally expect that we will. Sick of this club and its continually bs.

The blokes in the SANFL have things they need to work on.

The AFL team is 1-5. But it's the kids in the SANFL that need to get their act together.
 
We all know the deficiencies are behind the glass window, tell me one player that doesn’t have things to work on, you’re sounding dumber every time you open your mouth Nicky’s, now we’ve seen what he is capable of with just a little heat on,it’s very clear he will only dream of a premiership
Except now that it’s “definitely mental”.

One week is it’s out of form.
Then it’s execution
Then it’s shape
Then it’s mental and the move away from being a scrappy side to trying to be more polished

It’s everything but the coaches

It seems there is a massive disconnect between the recruiting and coaching/development teams right now. Very similar to Bevo at the Bulldogs.

Crazy Bevo certainly isn’t afraid to ah… change his team up 🤣 Never a dull moment with him. The out there talk is he could end up at Fremantle. Whilst he would well and truly be an upgrade on Nicks, I think a more stable influence is needed for the AFC.

Plenty of assistants out there looking for the opportunity 🤞

Buckley should be our first call to see if we can lure him out of the media and Victoria. Probably not likely, but then no one saw Ross Lyon or Brad Scott back coaching that quickly either. Need to at least attempt trying to get a big name with strong credentials before going down the assistant path.

Very true.

But shouldn’t be scared off by an assistant… McRae, Kingsley, Simpson etc. :)

The words coming out of the coaching group are beyond stupid & just adding to our loss of confidence.

Imo we have a dumb coaching group.

I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel whilst they remain.

Yet we know it's mostly on the coaches!

They completely ****ed up a good game plan over pre-season.

They have picked injured players who were incapable of playing good football. Tex, Butts & Smith.

They have been outcoached for all but the Blues game.

The main reason we are 1-5 is on the coaching group.

They have wasted yet another season in the 1st month!

... yet the board give a 2 year extension... & they wonder why most of us are pissed off!

Let us know what he says.

You don't need to be too switched on to know we have major problems.

As a 32 year member, why should I keep giving the club good $'s when they are continually ****ing up my club?

They are not even mad we have wasted another year & I don't see any sign they are going to make changes needed to get us back in flag contention as they continue to back in mediocrity.

I have no confidence in my club's decision makers as they can't make good key decisions.

We are completely fcucked as it stands.
 
Are you comfortable posting it in here?
More likely is Silvers comfortable posting it here ;)

Bit like when I was wished luck speaking to the CALHN executive & management team about their performance yesterday, I responded you need to wish them luck. ;)
 
That makes no sense as it is only relevant after a goal.
I was there when Lairdy spoke at a function. His words were that without 666 he’d be a terrible half back. He said he got so many of his ‘free’ possessions at the restart, when Betts and Charlie used to from behind the stoppage/centre, drawing the half forwards to them, leaving Laird free if the oppo won the ball and went forward. Very interesting stuff.

Nicks is probably concerned that if he plays Dowling and he stars that it will make him look stupid for not playing him earlier instead of investing so many games in a dud such as mcspudry. Therefore by nicks not playing dowling he cant be made to look stupid. Nicks is solely motivated by self interest. This is not the coach you ever want.

I know that all players are different, but we picked Mcasey and played him within a few games, on the basis that he had high end talent. Then we persisted with him for a few games to see if he could get it together.

In short, we gave him early chances to show what he’s got.

Let’s do that with Curtin. Top end pick, get him in and see what he can do

So he wasn’t accountable. Makes sense.
