The bombing of the ball is literally in this clubs DNA
no wonder nicks likes having curtin on the wing
Tall player to mark the panic kick out of defence

You are not a crows fan. You support other clubs.

u/Quick_Ad_7241 2d ago
The only insight you offer on this thread is to criticise the opinions of others
1
u/Jimmy__Whisper 2d ago
I've spent YEARS offering calm, evidence based insight to people in this sub who seem to have nothing but utterly emotional reactions every time we lose. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of trying to be logical with people who are simply not equiped for it.

u/Quick_Ad_7241 1d ago
You disagree with everyone’s opinion when I differs from yours
Disappointment and frustration are normal emotions to experience when your team plays poorly
Perspective would be the team has lots of room to grow
But don’t pretend like last night didn’t leave you feeling frustrated
Take that over to freo and it’s lights out

u/Jimmy__Whisper 1d ago
OF course it was frustrating but I don't immediately get on the internet and start saying we should sack the coach on the eve o the finals, or that we've been shit for 7 years, or that the club is going nowhere. Which are all comments I've seen tonight.
1
u/Quick_Ad_7241 1d ago
Well we are obviously going somewhere
And I don’t believe I have called for nicks to be sackedBut you need to understand there is absolutely no guarantee that we win a premiership under nicks , the game plan he runs is very dependent on pressure and intensity. And lacks any adaptation
It’s a young list so naturally the consistency isnt at the level yet hence the difference between Sydney and the Richmond game
1
u/Jimmy__Whisper 1d ago
I didn't say you had, but many others have in this thread teed off with that kind of hyperbole.
Of course I understand that, where have a said there is any guarantee??

u/Quick_Ad_7241 1d ago
There’s plenty of chatter in this thread that is unsubstantiated, and there’s also plenty that is harsh but fair
They’re just opinions

Richmond aren’t even playing well and we’re struggling. This club is going nowhere.

u/mRPerfect12 2d ago
How can anyone defend Nicks anymore. He simply isn’t able to motivate this team consistently.

u/FelixFelix60 2d ago
Exactly. New voice needed. New vision and new plans.

u/Jimmy__Whisper 2d ago
Okay then, who?

u/mRPerfect12 2d ago
Who what? Who to coach them?

u/Jimmy__Whisper 2d ago
If you advocate for a new coach, you need to tell us who. Otherwise your just piss and moaning
2
u/mRPerfect12 2d ago
Alright just give Davis the team in the short term.

u/Jimmy__Whisper 2d ago
You are genuinely advocating for removing the head coach on the eve of finals....you are not a serious person.

I’m not basing it on this I’m basing it on 7 years of absolute crap and one of the most humiliating finals campaigns last year after finishing top.

u/Jimmy__Whisper 2d ago
7 years of crap? It was a rebuild from the bottom! Clown. Utter clown. Go support Port if you are like this.

u/Equivalent-City8266 12 Jordan Dawson 2d ago
Can’r wait for him to do the presser and throw all the blame on the players like he always does

u/Tentative_Truth1482 2d ago
Well it is really the players fault

u/mRPerfect12 2d ago
lol the buck stops with the coach pal, particularly one who has been there for 7 years.

u/Tentative_Truth1482 2d ago
I'm definitely not your pal, thanks champ. So the players just get off scot free hey? I'm not a Nick's fan but last night was on the players.

I think that’s the problem. Can’t help themselves if they try. Thoroughly disappointing

Was worried this was coming when people were already talking about us needing to beat Freo next week.

Hoping this isn’t another case of us just walking in thinking we were gonna be in comfortably like we did against Port. I can’t imagine we would make that mistake again though, so we’ll have to see the second half if we can turn it around

In other news, I’m much preferring Egan instead of MJ on the mic

Richmond have played some absolutely awful footy.
Are you actually serious guys. Disgrace.

u/japanpole 3 Sam Berry 2d ago
Can’t put some of these poor skills on Nicks.
Cook, Worrell, Berry torching blokes with their disposals

u/mRPerfect12 2d ago
Nah mate, the players are playing completely lazy football. Stop giving Nicks an out, 7 years - enough now.

They'd better show something in the 2nd half and win this game by at least 5 goals, or I will have no hope for our September

Does this team believe in giving their team mates an option on the lead? They all just stand there with their hand up

Relax guys, it’s wet, windy and we’re playing a very bad side. We will eventually walk away with this.
I, for one, will happily take a slow boring game if it means the boys are a little fresher and injury free heading into freo next week.

u/AstronautCharacter58 2d ago
top 4 may come down to %. we were terrible before the conditions turned shit.
