Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

[NikkiNoo]

Was that a stuff up? Feels like an attempt at humour.

The first part was the stuff up that should have been a DM but the second part was owning the stuff up with a sense of humour about it.

 

[ManInTheArena]

It seemed like a very thorough process so I hope Nicks is the man to bring us all back together and back to winning footy.

Getting the job was the easy bit. Good luck, we're all behind you.

Club statement on the website

Nicks appointed Senior Coach

The Adelaide Football Club has announced Matthew Nicks as its new Senior Coach

www.afc.com.au

“I am honoured to be given the opportunity to coach at Adelaide and even more excited about what we can achieve together as players, coaches and staff,” Nicks said.
“Timing is everything and I feel very well prepared, having progressed from being a development coach to a senior assistant at two different clubs in vastly different markets.
“We will be a team that not only embraces the contest but seeks it out. A team-first mentality also sits at the core of all successful clubs and from this day forward it will always be a clear focus and priority.”

Kudos, you must have caught Scorpus on the throne or something to get in before him.

Like away

 

[ad victoriam]

Not my first choice, rather have had a coach that has been part of a premiership team, but knows the Adelaide market well and rated highly from what I have read and he has my full support and knows what it is like to lose to Richmond in a grand final.

This time no pre season camps!!!!

Can't afford it, under the soft cap,

Awesome. Welcome to the AFC.

Next question: who will he bring in as his assistants?

 

[MRB37]

Seems like a solid guy, I like that he has the hype of being able to connect with the younger players, seems like that's been something that has been missing over the last few years as we've tried to milk every last drop from the senior core. I imagine he'd do wonders for guys like Fogarty, Jones etc, guys just starting to come through.

Will be interesting to see the rest of the football department named, can still go in any direction from here, all we can do now is support them and wait to see how it turns out.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Welcome to the club Matt. All the best.

 

[Tex200]

Good appointment, most importantly needs clear air which he should get. Needs to be his team, not Campos.

Will also need some patience from the masses - which he won’t get of course! I’m sure he will internally.

Bye Jenkins.

 

[skittlebrew]

Hopefully he can bring Jackson Hately with him

Do we need to bring delusional Hately talk into every thread?

 

[NikkiNoo]

Bye Jenkins.

and Atkins.

 

[brucetiki]

Did someone get his polo from Crowmania for him

 

[40porpoise]

There is no way it was meant to be a DM. It was a hype tweet.

Well it sucked. Ian shuttleworth next out the door surely

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Adem Yze says he has not received final word from Adelaide regarding the club's decision on the head coaching position.
The Hawthorn assistant recently interviewed for the top role with the Crows, going up against fellow Hawks coach Scott Burns and GWS senior assistant Matthew Nicks.
Despite reports that Nicks has been informed by the Crows he has landed the gig, Yze says he has not yet heard anything back.

I wonder if Adam is still sitting by the phone waiting?

 

[crows dude]

What time is the presser??

 

[MRB37]

The first part was the stuff up that should have been a DM but the second part was owning the stuff up with a sense of humour about it.

Just looked like a pre announcement to me. Gets people talking and moving onto the socials waiting for it to come through.

 

[jenny61_99]

Was that a stuff up? Feels like an attempt at humour.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Well, I chuckled at any rate.

 

[Elite Crow]

Bye Jenkins.

Atkins

 

[footy4ever]

Im shocked to be sitting here.

Nope but here's a clue. Starts with Nicks, and ends with Nicks.

1) I hope he's been de-PortPowered

2) Not my choice

3) But all on the Matty Nicks train TOOT TOOT!!

4) Matty, can you please get rid of the first-look-backwards-for-the-kick-or-the-handball? Ok? Thnx.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Welcome aboard Matthew!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Lol, what happened to 2:30?

New Zealand time.

 

[Golumless]

Not thrilled but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Hopefully Nicks does well.

 

[Scorpus]

I don't want to go early but...

...his entire success as a coach will hinge on whether he selects David Mackay in round 1 next year

His very first job upon stepping into the club should be taking an angle grinder and cutting Mackay's permanently attached magnet off the team board
