| Quote: | In 2000 and something the Nick’s people elected me to be their coach.
That is a task that I resume today with humility, with honour and with an important sense of energy and purpose.
In recent years, Nick’s has failed the lovers of this great forum. There has just been too much negativity all round. There's been an erosion of trust. Negative destructive personal politics has done much to bring dishonour to our forum but done nothing to address the urgent challenges facing our forum, our communities, our families. In fact it's been holding our forum back.
And all this must stop, and with all my heart that is the purpose that I intend to pursue as Coach.

back in 2013, i had a second coming as coach of this rabble. the quote above is an excerpt of my welcome speech. after being knifed by people who shall remain nameless, i was deposed. many years ago, a former politician came at us with the unforgettable statement that "a souffle doesn't rise twice". well, according to nick's community it doesn't. it rises a third time. i am humbled by the numbers that didn't vote for the incumbent. and i laugh in the face of qldmagpie67 who is our very own version of barnaby joyce thinking he might rise to power. once is enough. i can promise you i will not head to china or go missing or allow qldmagpie67 take charge again. for that i am truly sorry.
in naming the team to face the mob from the dunghill on royal parade, we are focused on the long term. we have a plan. this is a plan for success and growth, this is not a short term political plan, this is a long term plan and everything in it, everything in it, the lack of game style that you've mentioned earlier, some timely player cuts, the investment, the innovation of the old magnetic board but new team formation, making winning sustainable, all of that is focused on the goal of ensuring that we have stronger growth and more and better ladder positions in the future. this is our football plan. if you are unsure of what i am saying, i can't really help you.
now is not the time for retribution. now is not the time for disharmony. now is not the time to be critical. we must unite. we must put in a four quarter effort against that rancid mob over at tanking carlton. i am confident we have the team to make this forum great again.
selection notes:
* a new team formation will be implemented. it's 2016 not 1972. we need to change it up a bit. we might even try a kite formation because the weather conditions suggest it will be windy af on the weekend.
* having told us on countless occasions he has played as a forward in a stellar career, i have had no option other than to name raw hammer as one of our tall forwards to see what he can do.
* inxs88 is our new sensation who will be the centre of attention in a new look midfield.
* thompsoc will come off the bench as a small, offensive forward and is expected to provide attack on anything and everything.
* RudeBoy has been given an opportunity to bounce back from the depths of despair and provide back up for stui magpie and our tall forwards.
* Redlight has been given the green light as our defensive forward and defender of the faith.
* derkd has been given the opportunity to wake up to himself about who should be coach.

| So, testing times - will I turn out to be a fitting replacement for Stan Magro - or Denis O'Callaghan?

Can I address the elephant in the room… what happened to Swoop? I hope he hasn't been knifed in the back by JR old school!

I will undertake my new role of Team Manager with the utmost integrity. Just slip me a hundred or two and I'll fix you up without fear or favour...

I'm full of running for this one.
Was a bit sore after the half marathon prior to the subiaco game (and the positions Kelly got me into the night before )
Final hit out will be a soft sand run along the beach this morning, kicking sand in anyone's face who even looks like a filth supporter.
They're gunna wish they were never born!

given your documented hatred of the Bloozers I am shocked that you have joined me on the outer this week Lazza… I hope the team appreciates that a record winning streak awaits a pie victory against one of our oldest foes!

SO true yin YANG, totally agree. Hate the scum more than just about anything else in the world, except gutless terrorism or a coward's punch maybe. 
Talking about drugs, I can't wait to give JW a cuppa special tea the next time we meet. That will bloody teach him to drop absolute Nick's legends like you and me, especially against the Scum.....

And when shopping for supplements do not go to Stephen Dank, unless there's someone you really do not like in the side.

From loyal supporter of all coaches to handler of the poison chalice in our hour of need to snubbed fromer dictator.
Let this be a lesson to all. Make sure you truly kill off all challengers
If Robert Mumgawbe has taught us anything don't leave witnesses
I bow to you John Wren and be sure even though you felt me unworthy to grace the hallowed graces of the MCG against our most hated enemy I will take the demotion with all my true class
