Matthew Nicks spoke to reporters after the semi-final loss to Brisbane. Under questioning if he would keep coaching, he answered in a single word: Yes.
Nicks said Brisbane had punched his side in the face. He talked about the distance his team must close on the AFL's best. He still wants to lead his team to a premiership. He has faith in where the club is headed. The defeat has stirred renewed speculation about his position. Nicks gave no sign that he is ready to step aside.
