Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

[kulak]

I don’t know why you keep pretending to act like you care, only to immediately make a derogatory comment in an after-post?

If I misinterpret your quote then explain to me, stop being ass about it.

I made the mistake of wasting my time writing one serious hopefully helpful comment.

You deliberately misinterpreted it. So wildly there’s no way it wasn’t deliberate. I don’t think you are commenting on good faith. Moving on.

 

[rezagun]

Nicks comes across as a genuine bloke who has the pedigree to become a good afl coach. Until we see what happens in the next 2 years we simply cant rate him. I expect us to have somewhat of a bounce back year with some new faces and youth to reinvigorate our team.
His biggest tests will be..
How to adjust on gameday without experience in the coaching box.
Refraining from bringing in older players that wont be involved in our next flag and keeping the view of building for the future.
Re jigging the game plan to erase pykes robotic chip crap style.

He hasn't got many older players to bring back in, I think DMac is the only over 30 on the list at the beginning of the year.

Also, he's got experience in the box plus he's been in the AFL system 8 years himself.

I do agree though, he will be hard to judge until.we bed down a system. If we lose I want to see us lose with style and some fight. Young kids will revert back to what they know when theyre under the pump, so if what they have learned is good enough then that holds us in good stead.

 

[FR0GGY]

Why are you speaking on his behalf? And care to clarify a bit further?

Hello?
You literally just told him what HE was thinking.
Nicks can be doing what he does, he doesn’t need to put on an act.

Nah, got caught out once googling something highly inappropriate at work! Nearly wet myself laughing so much!

“The club is promoting him”, suggests you think he’s being a paid actor and not showing his true colours in front of the camera?
Anyway, the club has shown a couple of several short clips on Nicks. Hardly over the top gimmick when a new coach arrives.

I'm not saying he's acting. I'm not making any judgements about Nicks at all because it's way too early. I'm just saying the club is trying very hard to push a certain narrative about Nicks. I already said I think it's mostly standard fare but there are fans with legitimate grievances with the club and they aren't obligated to lap up every bit of PR the club shits out. If the Crows wanted that level of trust, maybe they shouldn't have spent the last 2 years lying out of their asses.

 

[ad victoriam]

do you know what a quote is?

Maybe your right, as I always thought, and in this case, "it was to repeat the words that someone else has said or written". If I am wrong could you let me know always willing to expand my knowledge base?

My feel on Nick's is who is around him will end up making or breaking him. Mind you that could be said about everyone bar Clarkson. In saying that, providing we are willing to put our money where our mouth is and Nick's is capable of honest self reflection during the season, the lack of experience may end up being a boon.

Of course if not, it'll blow up spectacularly.

That said, right now all I want is someone with the capability to look past the 'anything can happen' and the 'one week at a time' bullshit and show some good forward planning.

Mackay and Gibbs are over 30. Sloane is 30 and Tex turns 30 in the first month of the season.

(Technically Sloane is 29 now but will be 30 at the start of the season. Same with Gibbs who will be 31)

So 2 A graders and Gibbs who wasn't in the side much this year anyway.

And Gibbs...

Yeah and they’ve got a probable yes man to Roo and Chapman as the “interim” HOF.
Glad most people realise the sleight of hand comment by the club that the list is rejuvenating rapidly is being seen through and the Admin is still under the gun.

 

[Thetrader15]

Not sure how he got on ignore, is he friends with Kristof?

Probably because I generally just talk s**t

I think Bryce will respond this year. He will at least have a coach who he can talk to and know what he wants.

 

[Sanders]

I CBF answering f’ed up questions that serves to gratify f’ed up anonymous people.

oh we’ve all got our views already, just wondering what yours was?

 

[Sanders]

Maybe your right, as I always thought, and in this case, "it was to repeat the words that someone else has said or written". If I am wrong could you let me know always willing to expand my knowledge base?

no, I didn’t think you did.

you want to claim external authority without proper citations.

which is Carrie down to a tee

Well, thanks for that, I will include the citations in future, but you do know it does spoil the trap.
Enjoy your day.

You think your posting has got to the level where you can lay traps?

 

[ad victoriam]

You think your posting has got to the level where you can lay traps?

Re the question to you was directed around Realist vs Pessimist, as most Realist are pessimists. or fence-sitters. I was curious which one you were, A true realist can look forward and backwards. Forward is the key in our conversation.

As for the trap part that came later, As I have found out when dealing with people Like Sanders one needs to ensure, you have readily available information on hand. whether you use it or sit back and have a laugh is another matter.

Anyway vestra frui diem

 

[dogs105]

FFS you’re trying to give credence to fortune cookie level platitudes as if they mean something

why not ask him which Harry Potter house he belongs to or which friends character he is most like?

I'm a Ravenclaw

 

[Pugsley]

Cannot stand Carrie. Really enjoyed many episodes and the movies, but cannot find anything likeable in the Carrie character.

She was just horsing around.

 

[triggyscrewedus]

I think Bryce will respond this year. He will at least have a coach who he can talk to and know what he wants.

By respond you mean he will pull his head out of his azz and put his head over the footy ?
