With just four wins so far this season, Adelaide Crows coach Matthew Nicks has conceded his team is in a dark place and is lacking confidence. After so much hype in the off-season, his side's current form has raised questions on whether the club should have extended his contract at the start of the year, writes Camron Slessor.
With just four wins so far this season, coach Matthew Nicks has conceded his team is in a dark place and is lacking confidence.
"We're not able to change the game without having a time out and it takes us until the end of the quarter to do so."A lot of teams have been hit hard by injuries this season, with Collingwood and Richmond leading the charge.Key forward Riley Thilthorpe hasn't played a game after suffering a knee injury in the pre-season, while Wayne Milera also suffered a knee injury early in the season.
The Tigers were missing Tom Lynch, Jacob Hopper, Marlion Pickett, Maurice Rioli, Jack Ross, Dylan Grimes, Josh Gibcus and Mykelti Lefau among others.Facing the media the morning after Adelaide's loss to Richmond, forward Ben Keays said the playing group was feeling flat, but still believed in its coach and his game plan.
"I, the board, and the CEO have confidence in the coach and the assistant coaches going forward," he said.
