Adelaide fans will mostly be happy i think.

If true, that means 5 clubs changing coaches this season. Is that a new record?

5 is equal with 2011

******* bullshit. Adelaide can get rid of their coach who got them to a GF yet we can't get rid of our s**t truck who hasn't even won a ******* final in 5 years.

I blame richmond for this

And some think our board is soft

Doesn’t seem right that Pyke walks yet his cross town rival coach sits comfortably at his desk. Not saying Pyke was a mastermind but he was comfortably a better coach than Hinkley IMO.

Maybe they're swapping; Hinkley to Adelaide, Pyke to Port?

 

[FrankGrimes]

Rutten is ours next year crows.. take Lyon

And some think our board is soft

Took Dunstall to do it

 

[BigVic]

Right decision. Crows directionless since the Grand Final failure

 

[Wojcinski]

Richmond did indeed break Adelaide. I see a club in absoloute disarray, the coach quits, the captain is stood down, 10+ players want to leave. Not good signs for the Crows moving forward.

 

[SunshineBoy]

How many coaches is that now?

 

[BEEG]

I blame richmond for this

I blame the bus ride from hell

Playing the Richmond club song during the pre-season camp seemed like such a good idea at the time

 

[JON O'CROW]

Media reporting he didnt quit. He was sacked...

rumors of a mass exodus of players from Adelaide would be the reason imo

I blame that stupid camp for this...

Surreal that this has happened yet Hinkley still has a job.

 

[marty36]

Hahhahahah Who the board appointed, he didn't appoint himself you know

 

[radiojake]

After Douglas 'retired' it's interesting that he hasn't been 'sacked', as such, according to the Crows press release

But this quote is from Pyke

“This decision has been extraordinarily difficult to reach but vital for me is the Club and playing group being able to move forward, and the health and happiness of important people in my life.”
