Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 2) - Full Support of the Board

[George Kramer]

Silvers didn’t appear to be to happy with the line of questions

It’s ironic given they made a gutless move to re-sign Nicks to limit the noise they are copping a shit load of it.

They aren’t enjoying being challenged

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Or panic, probably both

He's panicking because he can't find a way of not looking stupid for the premature Nicks extension.

The longer the club fail to come clean they ****ed up, the bigger damage & fallout.

This one can't be massaged over with a fall guy.

The top agenda item was whether to order Chinese or Mexican for dinner.

Go spicey, as they are going to have the shits!

 

[GreyCrow]

Who's the video clip WIZARD in here, please?

On The Front Bar tonight they showed a clip of Nicks talking about how he has (and loves having) the full support of the Club, cut back to The Front Bar blokes all saying:
"GOOOONE" and waving goodbye.

Can our BF Video Wizard put that in here, please?

4 hours is a standard board meeting?

Too many reds to get through?

Playing musical chairs to see who will be last standing...

 

[Brett Cummings]

Picking a nice bloke as coach could not have gone more wrong for this club.

They are all in denial that this is a win/loss industry and he is factually the worst coach we've ever had. The winning percentage doesn't give a shit about roo or silvers opinion.

 

[Samcro24]

Probably just shitty that none of the other board members told him about the "pretend to be on a phone call" trick.

And there weren’t any cars to watch out for

It would be more of what can we feed our supporters that they will swallow

It's actually worse than it would have been, as the media probably don't question the board otherwise. This just gave the ammo needed to go after the entire club and not just the football department.

Surely has to be Gusman and Gomez!

Lmao as if he thought anyone would believe this is a 'standard' board meeting, with Silvers 'coincidentally' coming back from a trip to Melbourne just before the meeting (hmmm, I wonder which prominent AFC employee that is under the spotlight lives there)

 

[Redline]

Needed to do what Adam Kelly did and pretend to talk on his phone.

Seriously any media person will tell you that the walk and talk is never a good look. Should of stopped an answered the questions for a few minutes.

Hopefully Roo has moved to Melbourne.

 

[MsTopG]

And then he goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like Nicks is a superstar.

I'm sure McDermott has never met Nicks. A superstar with a 30% win loss. One too many concussions Chris.

Cool fact check. Just came back from the CEO meeting

He admits he doesn't watch football now, at least not the AFL. He walked away from the game. So to him, not watching, he was probably seen the first 2-3 seasons, concluded Nicks did a good job but has since tuned out. Many people who watch Nicks now still believe he is coaching amateur inexperienced teenagers with barely a game under their belt.

 

[adelaidecrows]

He isn't used to being held accountable by any one and arrogance has set in. Which funnily enough falls under the boys club mentality.

Playing musical chairs to see who will be last standing...

Is Roo going to step away (or pushed) to take some of the heat away?

His position is less tenable than Nicks.

Whatever happens, the whole football dept know they're all on shaky ground.

Roo reaches his 10 year cap early next year, so I believe his time at the club will be ending.

 

[Pugsley]

Is anyone at AFC happy to be accountable?

This.

We can hope.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So anyone hears any inside goss on what they discussed for 4 hours last night...
