To only not be a poor club and be able to do that..... where are the rivers of gold from OS?

 

[OneGreatClub]

Crows were clever here...organise an external review and let the media do their job of vilifying Pyke.
The pressure gets to Pyke and he steps down before they sack him.

How embarrassing is Chapman

No argument from us. Low energy snake oil salesman.

Hinkley and the club know the discontent..... I predict a worse membership and crowds starting round 1 next year whilst they all try to live in the glory of the 150th (becuase stable club and all that)...... I seriously reckon they are all in it for the personal glory for next year.

They can cross Mitchell off the list.

He is not going to move his young family again.

 

[Hardcore]

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.

Exactly this, if they were ruthless they would've done it more than ago not now, instead they are left as the 5th in line to choose a coach whilst their players are all half way out the door

You;d think they would already have their man. Vise Versa, Pyke to Freo?

 

[simba_]

Scott Burns, Robert Harvey, Sam Mitchell or Nathan Bassett.

whoever can drive Hinkley furthest towards Ballarat on a single tank gets the job?

 

[TeeKray]

Pyke would be a good coach at a proper club. Adelaide is too much of an insular, back slapping, boys club environment for someone like him to thrive in. I'd gladly have him as Port coach.

Uuurgghh

Greasy Chapman was channeling full Darth no helmet on my TV.

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

This is why Adelaide only reports “cash profit” it hides exactly these expenses

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Hope they enjoy Ross Lyon.

Do we really think Adelaide is going to improve their performance because they got rid of Pyke?

This is a case of a club knowing that they are going to be down the bottom of the ladder for awhile while they adjust their entire list recruitment and retention strategy to reflect the modern version of the game. Ricciuto said it himself - they thought they were close after 2017 and on the right path, but they've drifted further and further away from what is required to win a flag.

Pyke has shown nothing to suggest that he can successfully implement a forward half game plan like 90% of the clubs in the league, including Richmond and Collingwood, build their style around. That's why he's gone, and why the Crows are desperately trying to off load players to get the draft picks they need to reinvent themselves under whoever is unlucky enough to get the gig...because they'll be sacked before they even get close to an opportunity to win a flag again.

Wait is this serious? Looks like mostly non crows fans have voted?

 

[Macca19]

Pyke is filthy rich, he doesnt need the payout financially, so on that basis there is a possibility he may have just been happy to walk away and get out of there.

Im sure he’ll get something though

 

[EskimoPAFC]

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.

Wait is this true? I didn't think any decisions on captains for 2020 had been made?

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Still, Hinkley to Essendon next year could work?

Thats not happening with them having just hired Caracella this season. He's there to take over when they boot Woosha. Just like Ratten was there to take over when the Saints booted Richo.

 

[PAFC66]

Lol we are more mediocre than the Adelaide Football Club now. Never thought I'd see the day

 

[Alberton Proud]

Anyway listening to the delusion on 5CC

Mind blowing

 

[Adz2332]

meh as long as they keep chapman, roo, hart, smart, birdman n co it wont matter what coach they get

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Anyway listening to the delusion on 5CC

Mind blowing

According to Rowey its a bit rough to say Ken should do what Pyke did

 

[Smithy7]

Great news .. They imploding ... Walker, Pyke, Who is next.
