That being the case, who will be spared at the Crows, or is there a scapegoat in the planning?
Hopefully no one will be spared... but we all know that will not be happening
Correct and your 2nd half of the year was a public group reeming of epic proportions by nearly every opponent.
I haven’t seen a team fall away that dramatically with so much to play for in a very long time.
What do you put it down to ?
I am just pissed the Dogs put the cue in the rack and the Roos couldn't put the Demons to the sword to push the Crows down another place.
I reckon we should swap first and second round picks next year to make a year when both teams will struggle to contend for the flag more interesting.
Players looked over it all.
Feels like alot of inner turmoil and the players want changes
Tail wagging the dog or justifiably corncerned about off field personnel such as Burton, Pyke, Roo etc ?
Burton and camporalie seem like the two cancer cells
It all comes down to our assessment on Stocker. If he is a top ten quality pick in this draft we are well in front. He didn't play in the champs which can sort players out, so it is hard to get a read on his value. SOS and the boys seemed pretty stoked to do the deal.
Nick Graham slid after winning the Morrish Medal because recruiters saw the limitations in his game at the Champs which dogged him through his AFL career. Stocker's limitation could have been shown up if he was available or he could have dominated.
Plenty of players looking for an out is what I'm hearing...
Crows could really cash in on some picks if they accept that up to 8 want out...
Pyke...
Feels like most of the fans want this and to start over... knowing the club they will mess it up tho..
Last year was the year to do it given all the SA talent....
Instead we take a tassie boy and now the tassie want a side in 5 years.... red hot fav to go back..
What a team to support

Donny Pyke putting the players through brain washing torture in that boot camp and separating their players from contacting their partners during the time (including an anxious Mrs Eddie Betts who was pregnant at at the time) is a lot more responsible for the Crows players not performing.
Campo actually held the club together along with (surprisingly Tex Walker after the brutal murder of Phil Walsh. Can't really see him being a big problem with the Crows.
Thankyou to fans of both sides for their updates on their respective forums, on a subject I didn't bother trying to understand or pay attention to (BigFooty or elsewhere). I checked occasionally and found what I wanted.

Fan tension boils over as SA's two football clubs crash out of finals contention
Adelaide's two AFL sides narrowly missed the finals for another consecutive year, prolonging heartache for fans. But their coaches are potentially facing very different fates, with the Power committing to keeping Ken Hinkley as uncertainty surrounds Don Pyke.

Five years ago, when the Adelaide Crows last failed to make the AFL finals series for a second consecutive season, the club took drastic steps.
"The time has come, we need a fresh direction … we need a new coach in place to take us there," chairman Rob Chapman said..................
..................in September 2014.
I'm up here at Nambucca Heads and the locals want to know where Adelaide is.
Spot on, I think this was really apparent in the trade with Shiel (THANK * THAT FELL THROUGH). Trading a top 5 pick is a huge deal.
Just ask GCS with Lachie Weller

Lol Adelaide leadership are so backwards in their thinking.
All geared around making finals and if the club don't make finals for 2 years in a row the coach is out.
It's probably the reason they've kept their old players in the team for most of the year at the expense of kids...they think the mature players gives them a better chance to scrape into finals and don't consider looking into the future.
There is more to list management and direction/strategy of a club than just making finals...it's about premierships.

Getting the same vibe from Port - or more accurately, Kochie. Running that club like a backwater dictatorship, if performance drops just threaten to sack/trade people. Fear-driven performance isn't sustainable.

Empty words from Roo. Be seen to be making changes but ultimately will do nothing to destabilise his boys club.
So does this mean we are the now permanent custodians of The Stocker Cup ?
Yep won the Stocker Exchange...
