News Pyke Gone

[thebirdman 24]

Well thats it... review over. Pyke was the problem not Campo/Burton/Chapman and the rest of the hack parade that have presided over mediocrity for 20 years. Safe to say I'll have a less stressful year in 2020 not attending any games.

It really is quite clear the review was just a targetted hit on Pyke rather than a legitimate attempt to improve the club.

Not a hit on Pyke specifically, but on someone other than Burton, Campo and co. Pyke was the unlucky one that fit the bill

No they don't.

Have you ever been on other crows discussion forums besides bigfooty? Maybe then you will change your mind, especially the ones on Facebook.

 

[hey shorty]

He is

Dunstall is in charge of the review, and he has stated more than once that it'll take as long as it takes, not bowing to Chappys words.

Fagan called for the review, and had wanted one for weeks. Chappy is a fraud.

Interesting comment from Chapman on 5AA.
"Now that Pyke has resigned I expect the external the review to be wrapped up fairly quickly"

That's a massive Freudian slip.
It means "What I think was the cause of our problems has gone. The external review will agree".
Chapman has to go.

Gotta keep pouring heat on Chapman - he is the head of the snake - gutless worm is probably more apt

Most are the same as they are here, even the Facebook pages are growing in angst.

Chapman will tell Roo to get his mate to wrap it up

 

[hey shorty]

Chapman will tell Roo to get his mate to wrap it up

Dunstall will tell Roo to **** off

There is no doubt the club did him no favours by surrounding him by the worst football department in AFL history but he did no favours for himself with his conservative this season and ridiculous selection philsophy leading to us playing the oldest team in the league each week.

That’s how I read it

Pyke wasn't unlucky. He is responsible for the team's performances which have been crap. He has to go one way or another

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Some players didn't want to talk to Dunstall according to Caro.

 

[Scorpus]

I haven't seen a single social media post from any Adelaide Crows player relating to Pyke's resignation so far.

Strange

According to Caro, Burton is not getting good feedback from the reviews.

I don't think the club paid too much attention to who they wanted to whack. It was whoever wasn't in the Boys' Club that fit the bill

 

[GROTTO]

However, the player's reaction to this news should give us a better understanding of what is going on inside those four walls.

Can someone expand on their personal thoughts of how the players reacted, as you mentioned its a good understanding of what is going on.

I think the young players in our squad will be estatic and be celebrating. Probably thinking just Campo and Burton left to go.

It would be a directive from Chapman to keep the messaging on script

Unlucky by who we surrounded him with, but yes, he would have to fall on his sword.

I would much rather give him 2020 and replace the underbelly (Burton/Campo/Hart etc).

 

[ithrowcraze]

According to Caro, Burton is not getting good feedback from the reviews.

That's why he needs to become the coach

My thoughts as well.
Identified that management (Roo/Chapman) wanted none of the change that he thought was needed, so jumped ship.

B Crouch was on AA earlier, didnt get to hear much of what he said about him

 

[relapse]

Any player reactions at all....?

They had Brad Crouch on 5AA, reading between the lines he seemed to sound happy that Pyke was gone.

He seemed to acknowledge that a change was badly needed.

Looks like the players are digging their graves. They'll be the next to go.
