How Crow Can You Go? An Adelaide Football Club Saga

Pyke had a better coaching record than Bolts.

Amazingly Pyke had a better win record than Blight did at the Crows. Pyke 56 wins 36 losses vs Blight 41 wins 33 losses. And yet two of those 41 wins were Grand Finals.

Cmon Malthouse, get in there.

Yeah Mick might not like the idea of working on behalf of that supporter base...couldn’t blame him either.

Surely the Cows have already suffered enough

Surely the Cows have already suffered enough

Hardly enough thank you very much.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Mick does own a beret. Flamboyant enough for Adelaide.

We have to suffer them...so they can suffer more.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Nup.

Easy to put mature bodies in the important spots and tweak results. The groundwork was already done

Yep..spot on..

Not siding with Mr carlton and his stance on Bolton’s coaching but the fact is you don't really know if Bolton could coach. He had deficiencies he had strengths, overall marks on his ability to be a head coach can't be consensus either way. Time to move on from Bolton.

 

[jooce8891]

Sure

dont think the guy realises that bolts was coaching for the future, he literally sacrificed his job for the future of carlton, and some most carlton fans dont realise he did it

 

[mediumsizered]

Teague didn’t change much to the squad Bolton was putting on the park. Bolton couldn’t coach.

Are you suggesting that Bolts was to coaching what Aaron Joseph was to playing?

Hard to imagine that most Crows fans are upset or angry by DP's departure, given the 17 page mess that is the 'Donny Pyke Farewell Tour' Thread..

Anyhow Crows fans, be careful for what you wish for. The grass is not always greener.

You could try quoting the post you are replying to, just sayin

Don said, during his press conference yesterday, that the Adelaide footy market is different from other AFL footy markets, and that it sometimes becomes quite draining; noting that as being especially the case when having to deal with things that are fictional. Having ridden the 2019 season in the close company of Crows posters, we are all too familiar with the depth of Crow fiction. I don’t blame Don for wanting to get the hell out.

Yep, cow supporters are certainly ‘drainers’.

Another gem from Crows board

“With Carlton into Jack Martin from GC and a few other trades, I wonder if Reid should go to SOS and let him know we have pick 21 (probably gets Martin done with maybe adding a 3rd or 4th rounder if needs be) and pick 26 (for another small forward like the fella from Richmond that has been out of favor) that we could trade for pick 8”

Pick 26 for a small forward not in best 22 at current club???

Yesterday, when answering a question about the infamous camp, Pyke said that it was clearly a miss. However, at the very moment that Don appeared to acknowledge the negative impact of the camp on the performance of his playing group, the Crows chairman interrupted; seemingly attempting to diminish the camps significance, saying that it was but one small thing amongst many small things. Wtf is it with the Crows hierarchy, they seem to constantly be in political lobbying mode. Do they genuinely believe the footy public are so naive? Give us all a break. Opportunity lost; yet again.

He can't work like that.

Can confirm

The Young Ones would have more of a clue...

 

[thylacine60]

The idea Reid has to go to SOS to "tell him what we have". We own Reid, I think we know what they have.

Be interesting how Bryce Gibbs goes under a new coach whom hopefully doesn't put him under the bus like Pyke did this season gone.

Also hope he has managed to take care of his off-field issues/problems. Seemed like he wasn't in a good place (metaphorically) during 2019.

I think Michael Voss will be their next coach, knowing how the 'think tank at the AFC works. (Also not many worthwhile options in the assistant coaching ranks, and they would want a coach locked in by the time trade period starts, you would think)
