Nicks is a good coach. Tried various things to get them back in the game, and it worked at stages. But the boys gave up too much during the first half. Player decision making and execution needs improvement. Impressed with how Crows were able to claw their way back in the game. I wasn't expecting it.

[@Michael-2Australia]

Out of interest, can someone please give there feedback on Darcy Fogerty? Great kick..can take a mark sometimes...is he fit enough? To me seems very inconsistent? Doesn't seem to be able to read the play or get in the right areas very often? If I was Adelaide I would get someone like Dunstall to come and do some work with him...

[@julianlawson1608]

Unpopular opinion. Nicksy is a good coach, the system is good its the players work rate and cohesion that is bad. The board above Nicksy needs to be held accountable, our trades have been shithouse and we have no midfield

[@jeffreysteelflex8155]

Players work rate and cohesion is on the coach..

[@imalwaysright]

@@jeffreysteelflex8155 coach cannot do everything on the field for the players. There's also line coaches that need to assist. Anyone that has a clue about footy knows the senior coach is not the issue here.

[@noahschutz8404]

An awful coach you’re out of your damn mind. Way too late for adjustments, way too reliant on senior players, never willing to try new things unless absolutely forced

[@hadesau7702]

I don't think it's even work rate and cohesion. I think it's talent and ability. God we try hard but just not good enough.

[@mikethomas4842]

I think its great that Nicksy has kept his away record in tact. LLLLLLLLL 👏

Selection, Murphy? Zak Jones ? Brodie Smith?

imagine using the same old whipping boys. How to say you didn't watch the game without saying it. That's not where the game was lost lol

​@@imalwaysrightyour name says it all 😂close game... Murphy alone had two goal scoring opportunities,were he either fell over or fumbled...suggest you stick in. VHS and have look 😉

1 close game too many couldnt get the job done again same shit week in week out no point hanging around a game when u cant finish off not good enough always chasing a 3 4 goal head start cant play a full 4 quarters and if u cant do that u wont win games time for a rebuild from top of the food chain to the bottom only thing is CROWS havnt got the balls to do so

[@tonycarey1735]

Seriously? I've heard some argue the rebuild undertaken by Nicks was too drastic, now you want to start again?

@@tonycarey1735 really drastic ???hasn't done anything lol

[@adamperre4852]

@@tonycarey1735 I'm not putting all the blame on Nicks it's the board management and all the other coaches fwd defense goal kicking etc As a coach he should be addressing all this and have his say to me it doesn't look like the club or management listen he needs to grow some balls and put his foot down it hasn't changed in 5 years and I hope he doesn't end up being a HINKLEY

[@crowsfan691]

Same shit, different day.

[@tonycarey1735]

Right. Like last week, huh? Oh yeh, they beat the team that, this week, beat Carlton. 'Same shit, different day' doesn't quite fit. It's catchy though.

[@crowsfan691]

@@tonycarey1735 one win in the last six weeks pal.

[@tonycarey1735]

@@crowsfan691 Clearly you're a glass half empty person. By my reckoning, since we beat Port by 30pts, we drew with the Lions, got within a kick of knocking off the Magpies, smashed the Eagles, went down to a resurgent Hawks, had a no excuses loss against the Tigers, had Sydney's measure well into the third quarter, had most of the play against the Giants and beat them (they beat Carlton the next week) and, despite playing badly for most of the game, came back against the Lions at home. This profile speaks of a team that can turn it around. It's all but too late this year, but they're a few good wins away from being a good team.

[@jeffreysteelflex8155]

The worst coach AFC has ever had period. The club will continue to be mediocre under his reign.

[@imalwaysright]

L take. Every legend that has played or coached AFC backs Nicks in.

Nonone cares what the legends say the fans are tired of this peanut dummy

@@adamperre4852 By that reckoning, ie the next HINKLEY, Nicks will have us playing in finals next year.

I hope so but I can't see it happening let's hope he does or for me he's gone not just him but a lot of the board and a few older players
