Is there anyone left who thinks he can turn it around?
No need to worry. Nicks knows why we have started poorly.
ADELAIDE coach Matthew Nicks has pinpointed a "mental issue" behind his club's winless start to the AFL season.

If I was a player I would be feeling pretty pissed off for being blamed for someone else’s (coaches) incompetence.Reckon the players are starting to think WTF!
The membership base will get very agitated very quickly if it isn’t happening already.
I thought Burns was the backline coach. Didn't the new guy replace Rahily as forward coach?I could coach this forward line better than Burns

The same Mental issue that has stopped us from winning away games?
That we've known about and not addressed in 4 years?

He never said consistent though which you wouldn't expect of youngsters anyway (you might think MM will be the exception but don't forget this is only early in his 2nd year just like when Rachele and Soligo started excellent when they transitioned into the midfield in their 2nd year and Berry had an exceptional 1st year) but there is a wave of youngsters who have shown they can or potentially play at the highest level.
Cornes is a paid up happy clapper. He will back Nicks in until Nicks is sacked and then he will back the clubs decision to sack him.
Our coaching panel is at its best when we have the most diverse group of coaches from outside the Crows system.We’ve got about the most uninspiring coaching panel you could assemble, except maybe Ben hart
We skip over competent coaches with a vision on purpose, can’t hire someone that would actually challenge the way things are done at the AFC
It's the same culture appointing the exact same people. Nothing changes and, unfortunately, it's a feature not a fault. This is our club.
He's leaned heavily into his core beliefs on what he thinks will make the team succeed and we've looked worse than ever. He's in the denial stage I would guess, he'll be telling himself he made the right moves, they just need more time to click.
So that means minimal personnel changes, stick to your guns, he's not being stubborn, he's doing the right thing, it'll work eventually.
I felt the argument for extending Nicks was that it would allow him to be brave and not just play the more senior guys to make sure he can get his extension.
But he got the extension and there’s still no bravery in selection and no bravery tactically.
Rachele having 0 CBAs is nearly sackable in my book. Stop hiding this kid in the forward line.
I'd like to see Buckley on board - at least give him a go. He may not have a premiership, but he did take Collingwood within a goal of winning one. And he strikes me as the kind of coach who will take no s**t - the kind of person we need at this soft club.
This is like a Don Pyke replay,It’s the same rhetoric Don Pyke was using before he fell on his sword.
The moment a coach starts blaming the players for not executing a flawed game plan is the time the player/coach relationship breaks down. It quickly becomes irretrievable.
Like I said, this is MM's 2nd year so his form might drop off like the other youngster or he might not. Berry looked like AFL standard in his 2nd year and was consistent for the entire year playing in the midfield, Rachele was consistent AFL standard for a majority of his 1st year playing in the forward line and faded late in the season which is expected for a 1st year draftee and then perform consistently when he transition into the midfield last year for 7 weeks and again faded, same as Soligo and Worrell is similar to MM and his form might also dip like MM.Year 5 of Nicks tenure, plenty of draft capital spent and you dont think any one we've drafted should be putting up consistent AFL performances??
Nicks gameplan and player use/position isn't giving our talented youngsters the best opportunity to flourish. They are shoved into bit parts.
Apart from Max which youngster has developed their game to a consistent AFL standard??
Nicks is not an AFL coach.
