And managers really control that space.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

You know, they're dealing with both sides and

SEN Breakfast

you're really in the hands of the manager and obviously the player and their family, and ultimately they make the decision, but you've just got to get your environment right.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

Well, yeah, Texan.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

I mean, Texan's in our best, when he's fresh and fit, and I've mentioned it a number of times, he's in our best team, no doubt.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

He's a

SEN Breakfast

There's more than just what he does with the ball in his hands and he's a leader.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

He structures us up really well.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

Now, saying that, Cain, off the back of last night, last night's games are so positive for us because Toby Murray gets an opportunity again to perform in a, you know, this guy's played less than 10, 15 games and you just go, you can see some stuff there and yep, there's still some work on.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

So it's exactly where he should be at this part of his career.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

But he needs those small opportunities.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

This one was through suspension.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

Our veteran is super important to us, but it's a bonus for us.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

Texan also gets that ability to be fresh and play at his best and not have to worry physically about that grind.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

So there's always going to be a balance to that.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

And we're going to be criticised and we're going to be pumped up for the decisions we make around it.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

But ultimately, we're just trying to do what's best for the team.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

We're not here to win games.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

You know, every single game in the season, we're here to get to that September and perform when we get there.

SEN Breakfast
Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks (12.06.26)

And we haven't been able to do that, not since I've been in the chair anyway.
