And he makes robots too.

Does anyone else think it bizarre they announce the coach has been told to essentially * off and then hashtag we fly as one

 

[StrappingTape]

Catching up on the last few pages I can't believe how many people just don't understand this.

The sponsor of AFLW has commissioned an artist to create a sculpture of what has become the most iconic image of the AFLW, the subject of which just happens to be Tayla Harris.

Queue outraged men.

"She is getting a statue for being trolled online. Mystifying to me". AFL great Malcolm Blight has not held back in his assessment of the new Tayla Harris statue"

 

[Macca19]

Bingo.

I don't get why people are applauding the Crows for being ruthless when we can't. This is an appalling scapegoating of the wrong person. Adelaide is a total ******* mess and I don't want my club looking, acting or being anything like them. They've missed the problem by a looooooonnnnggg way.

Yeah not sure about that.

He's lost the players, has split the playing group, was a major part of the stupid camp then pretty much refused to accept any responsibility for it. He comes across as arrogant, is a poor communicator, is tactically poor, a poor game day coach. There's a reason half their side wanted out.

Sounds familiar... lets extend ours instead!

 

[GoPorts]

When Fagan, Ricciuto and company make you look like amateurs..... wow.

Really though, their problem is the playing list. Them getting rid of the coach and holding onto their geriatric list is the opposite of us sacking Hinkley. It would be closer to us selling off players in their prime while holding onto a dud coach

Oh wait

Crows supporters won't be happy if it's just Pyke - Rucci

No mention of them being ungrateful or divisive in any manner.

My point is the people responsible for his appointment and the ones responsible for all the ridiculous trades, contracts and general list mismanagement will remain. And glory be to that.

No new coach is saving them from the mess they are in.

The camp that never happened just keeps on giving

MMM cut off the presser just as he's about to answer if he's getting a payout or not

Roo in the background

 

[threefa9]

He resigned - no payout... Ken it ken be done!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lol no payout. Who believes that sort of delusional stuff?

He had a contract probably worth somewhere around $1.6 million over 2 years. He's just going to say, No you keep that, it's only fair.

The only way Adelaide dodge the payout is if he goes to another job that pays the same. Otherwise they are still paying the difference.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

we had a skerrick of hope to go past them on the field, we have a better list BUT we stay true to a failed leadership of Ken, Ollie and Tom.

Adelaide cut their coach and have their failed Skipper step down.

Annnnnddd - we watch them go past us again with a worse list.

Oh yea and Ken becomes someone else’s bunnie for showdowns.

Deck chairs and sunnies at Ports.

He's under no internal pressure why would he? it's happy mediocre days in Hinkleytown.

Because they have the gumption to say that this level of mediocrity is not acceptable. We all know their problems run far deeper that him. However if he can't win them a flag and they believe that then he has to go. Same with Ken, if he can't win us a flag he must go, but we're over here all everything is fine, stability equals success, lacking any courage

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

But then Ken would have to be an assistant coach somewhere and do more work with less money.

Deck chairs and sunnies. Skiing and snowboarding.

Yeah, the two parties might agree to a settlement lower than the value if Pyke’s feeling generous.

Can't hide an 'extraordinary expense' like that on your balance sheet

Will come out in due course

Then watch the poo hit the fan

 

[S.Patrol.G]

Would have Don Pyke as our coach over Hinkley in a microsecond.

I'm not sure that you would. Pyke created a mess. Teague was the brains.

Pyke created factions and didn't talk to players outside of his circle. Pyke is as much of the problem at Adelaide as Burton, Fagan and Riccutio...and Younie...and Camporeale. I think that just about covers it.

Wife swap Freo and crows.

Just like when they sacked sando and had already sounded out walsh. I suspect the crows pretty much know or have in mind who they want as their next coach. I think they have known for some weeks pyke wouldnt be there next year. Who they have earmarked i dont know but it could be anyone of burns, sumich,lyon or even noble if they can convince him to go back to coaching. They wont be taking any of our assistants especially voss

They took Walsh when we were at Hinkley's zenith I doubt our assistants are that attractive this time yea.

Noble will be the one I reckon

Good call

 

[Powerade 08]

Suck s**t Pyke, 2-0. clown man wins again

 

[Iwish]

They will need a coach who will handle a rebuild and grow with young players as they aint winning a flag in the next couple of years. Lyon would be no good then but i think burns sumich and noble would the only thing against noble it will be seen as a boys club appointment so they may prefer an true outsider like burns
