News Pyke Gone

[ams4crows]

Weird thing is I thought he did some of his best coaching early in the season - he seemed to do really well when on the boundary line. But pretty clear the wheels well and truly fell off after the bye.

The wheels falling off seemed like a player thing to me, all those players know if a senior crows coach doesnt make finals for two years he's gone. Only Sloane, Tex and Talia were putting in every week in the back half

Don is a very good man, solid character.

We need more people like him around our club, not less.

Still ...something happened over the Bye break ....no questions bing asked over that significant period

Champan: "No termination payment but ongoing discussions"

 

[rocket18]

No termination payment - apparently - it is a resignation.

 

[threefa9]

Thanks Pykey.

Chapman is absolutely vile, you follow behind him scum bag.

If Burton, Hart and Campo are still here we are ****ed

 

[Crow_68]

Myself....and others are responsible

lol chappy snake oil. ahh no money of Don.

 

[Scorpus]

Don sounded pained when describing how he is taking responsibility for the failings and saying he "isn't part of the solution"

 

[rocket18]

Happy he is going but he handles himself well in front of the camera.

No termination payment... But he never said anything about hush hush money!

 

[SugarShane]

*. Hate this. Clear as day now that he'll be the scapegoat and Burton, Campo, Hart and Roo get to carry on their merry way towards the destruction of our club.

My biggest question on PYKE has been his selection policy. You just hope it was his decisions and not demands from further up the food chain. If you going to fall on your sword you just hope your demise was of your own making.

DP: "clearly when the side is performing as it is, clearly I'm part of the problem... the question I've grappled with is, 'am I part of the solution'?"

question from Andrew Capel - "why aren't you part of the solution?"

DP: "it's difficult to give you a narrative considering what's currently ongoing... knowing what I know about myself, the group, and other bits and pieces, I just know it's the right thing"

Don showing ultimate leadership by stepping down and ,I think, challenging the others to do the same.. Thus the “others” comment..

Please give me a break......this development has sod all to do with that basket case of a franchise.

Our problems are our own and of our own making. Nothing to do with Port.

Can you read?

 

[jaytex]

Andrew Fagan is literally a stunned mullet

 

[Doc_]

Where are the club ties?
Chappy and Fages also resigning today?
One can only hope...........

 

[The Karma Bus]

Pyke saying the 2nd time he was asked about responsibility, it's my fault and others.
Just sink em Don, go on.

SCAPEGOAT ALERT

Mate, there will be money involved. But make no mistake, we'll never hear about it!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I think Coaches outgrow their use by date.
The other "issues" will come out in the wash and Im sure what looks like Don taking the fall now, will become quite a few more people later.

The players were not responding to Don ....was it simply him , we'll soon find out

But the trend of AFC Coach's not surviving 2 bad years continues

Pyke has the integrity that so many others in the AFC are badly lacking.

 

[relapse]

Pyke just made the following comment, "To get the club back to playing consistent finals footy".

Herein lies the biggest issue that the club has, this is what the club ultimately views as success.

Not premierships, just playing consistent finals footy.

Still we don’t have decent micros on media questioning
