"Play to our system, we've shown it stacks up" is an interesting statement by Nicks, he had publicly said they want to be more defensive and for a majority of all 3 games has shown this is how he want them to play and they look shit playing it so the system is shown it doesn't stacks up.

Certainly not defending Nicks… but coaches are usually always mundane and boring interviews, you really don’t get much out of them. They never give anything away. No idea what the point of them is, they rarely even tell you changes hours before they are public anyway and just talk about ‘process’.

Very true but wanted to see something... SOMETHING from Nicks not the political diplomatic answers.

Geez, Rankine can absolutely sing! Did not realise he had that skill.

Sholl must be super popular at the club, Rankine called him out pre performance and Eddie was confused… when asked, Rankine said just look at him, he’s funny haha

I am certain part of the reason that Gather Round was such a success last year, was because we beat Carlton to open it up and the State was buzzing and up and about.

A humiliating loss and I can see a lot of the locals not giving a stuff. Good thing we should have more interstate visitors this year, but can't help but think us getting smacked first up will take some of the shine off Gather Round as an Adelaide event.

Which is why we should have played like North or Hawthorn hell even Richmond to open the round.

The AFL obviously saw our performances against the top 4 last year and loved our 1 and 2 point losses to Collingwood and Melbourne and thought you beauty we'll get a cracking game to open the round

Well depending what happens Thursday night, we may not be opening it next year.

I might even have a beer, and I HATE beer!

 

[jenny61_99]

That’s a shameSo Murphy out for a number of weeks according to Nicks, so thats two forced changes this week.

It might make the game not as painful to watch

Indeed… the precise reason I am contemplating it, and tequila will be too expensive/not even available!

If it’s westend avoid it like the plague



EDIT: set up your second mortgage before you leave

The change in the teams fortunes must come from the playing group as it's clear that the coaching group have nfc what they are doing. In short the playing group must go against Nicks shit gameplan and play their own. If they do that and Nicks somehow picks the right team we may stand a chance to win or only go down by 20 points or less. The players must take ownership and win in spite of Nicks. In saying all of that i think we will get pumped by 60plus and the pressure on Nicks will escalate.

"Connection piece just not there at the moment"

Its called a brain, Nicks.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Who ever replaces Milera, I hope they take the game on more. Milera whether be it coaching or of his own choosing has slowed up play a lot by stopping and going back behind his mark rather than playing on.

They all do it, because that's what the coaches tell them to do

suggesting the SA teams should play each other in gather round as a third showdown, wait for it… due to it being unfair.
So Chris how many clubs play each other 3 times in the main season?

 

[DJ75]

Like to be flexible who can play where ………… expect on ball

Except literally anywhere on the field. Who plays in multiple positions on our team? Jones who is pushed to defence to cover injury.
Anyone else?
Our team is about as flexible as concrete

You know I think my absolute most favourite thing about Gather Round is the amount of complaints that come out of Vic's mouths without so much as a hint of irony.

 

[Betts are off]

For anyone thats interested, not tipping the Crows in winnable games has catapulted me up the Footy tips ladder this season.

Seems like i've finally figured out what's been going wrong all these years!

We do tend to send people to a less productive position to play a roll they are not familiar with mainly a negative one

 

[1970crow]

Wasn’t an option that I could see

Same with my debutant thread.

Have we had any winnable games?
