Ooops The post was still sitting there when I logged back in so I thought it hadn't been posted

The Matthew Nicks fan club has reached the stage where Wayne's been asked to turn the light off if/when he decides to leave as he's the only one left.

The Board could meet and give Nicks, Reid and Ogilvie their pink slips today if they wanted to. Not sure what the process is with Roo as he is part of the Board, but surely at this point the Board has to have realised that Roo has essentially turned the club has turned into his own ego-driven...

Really, what's the answer then... Backing in a subpar coaching group, letting them get their hands on another first rounder that they will poorly develop? Backing in recruiters who have consistently burned pick after pick and the same list manager who been there for 10 years and delivered...

I have to be honest and admit I felt a sense of relief when I found out that there was about 90 seconds left and Richmond were safe and we weren't going to pinch the game. The iceberg was always coming at some point and as bizarre as it sounds it actually felt therapeutic to finally hit it.

GWS is another club with first class list management and drafting

As much as we all loathed Rob Chapman, at least he knew when to cut the cord. I can still remember when that 100 point loss to St Kilda happened and Chapman got the board together at 1am that night to sack Neil Craig. There was a crisis point back in 2022 when we were thrashed by Hawthorn...

If Nicks isn't sacked by Monday then this club is just taking the piss. To any club worth their salt, tonight's game was a coach killer. There's no coming back from that

He should have walked when Burton was sacked especially given he was the guy that head hunted him to the club. Everything Roo has touched has turned to shit.

I'm not surprised, I said it a few days ago that it was obvious that Nicks didn't know what he was doing. There's no forward plan at all, he's just coaching from week to week.

One word left to say..... UNTENABLE

LOL Tell me you're a Port Power fan that only watches Port Power games without actually telling me you're a Port Power fan that only watches Port Power games

But but but Nicks is the best "young" coach in the AFL 🤣🤣🤣

No different to Hinkley's situation with that massively overrated Port squad.

Trade? He's 29 at the end of the season and has played 1 AFL game. There's no hope for any trade value for him. He's a break glass replacement for ROB, but even then I suspect that we would most probably have more faith playing Berg as ruck if we were in a bind. I think 1970Crow is on the...

One thing I noticed on the NIMBY page was this.... Hopefully that's true and not just something that the NIMBYs have made up

If there's a six month clause in his contract then the club should just bite the bullet and sack him now. They could put Burns or VB in for the rest of the year and then go into 2024 with a clean slate financially.

I actually think that he's lost and there's no long term plan. The house of cards that he built is starting to crumble and he's just making decisions now from week to week and hoping that by holding firm with senior players that things will just magically click at some point. You only have to...

From memory we tried to get him as an assistant as well as Rutten, but we weren't offering enough money to interest them.

Or the most likely is that "Super Coach" Matthew Nicks is a terrible communicator and players feel like they have no idea where they fit or what the long term plan is for them.

He was going off on Monday morning, but the problem is after we beat Richmond he'll be on the radio Friday morning wanting David and Will to play Can You Feel It.

I actually think he doesn't know what he's doing at this point. It's clear there's absolutely no long term plan at all, he's just coaching from week to week.

Obviously it's meant figuratively. If Freo have approached him and he's indicated that he's keen and intends to ask for a trade to Freo at the end of the season then its essentially a done deal. Hopefully it's just bullshit, but who knows.

Rumour is that Freo are chasing him massively, the WA footy media seem to think it's a done deal.

Yep I 100% agree Back in 2022 I posted on here saying that the club needed to make a decision, they had to work out whether the coaching and development was the issue or whether it was the recruiting that was the problem and then make some hard calls. Either Hamish had to go or Nicks because...

Unfortunately with our Board it's, that's an extendin'

Roo's wet dream. From memory he's signed until the end of 2026, so I suspect it won't happen.

Left field, but I'd actually give Rahilly a shot. I'd love Buckley, but don't think he's a realistic option sadly.

For anyone out there that still believes Nicks is a potential premiership coach, let's go back and look at the record of every premiership coach going back to 1990. 1990 Leigh Matthews, finals in his 3rd season, flag in his 5th 1991 Alan Joyce, won a flag as interim coach in 1988 and won the...
