Got rid of choco and lade didn’t they?They didn't change a whole heap, just a couple of important people in important positions.
Even with us, it wouldn't take a huge amount to change the direction of our club.
But it MUST happen.

Yeah just been having a read, external review by Ernst & Young. Choco was pushed out as well as a few others.Got rid of choco and lade didn’t they?
wouldnt pick itThe problem is Pyke is a hardass, the players complained and told him he had to lighten up.
yep and if the players were complaining the club should sprinkle a bit of concrete in their coffee. Clarkson is tough but fair most clubs and fans want him as their coach. To me he looks the quite but thinking type of personality.wouldnt pick it
It seems like we can’t have a coach for more than 4 years before calling for him to be sacked. Sacking the senior coach sends the message that your doing something about the poor performance however, are you really addressing the problem if you’re back to where you started? Sacking the the senior coach is actually the easy thing to do because you’re putting all the responsibility on the senior coach. There are other key decision makers at fault as well but they seem to survive each time we sack a coach. We go through the same cycle over and over but end up in the same position each time. Each time a new coach comes in you get a spike in performance, which is natural but that spike doesn’t last long term.
You have to question whether the senior coach is handicapped to some degree in the assistants they bring in. After all, we do have career assistant coaches in Camporeale and Clarke. Then there’s Hart who returned from his failed coaching stint at Collingwood. I wouldn’t be putting all the blame on Pyke. We really need to do an external review. None of these internal reviews where there are no issues and everyone is doing a great job.
I think Bass should be our next coach
We need someone who is super competitive
Someone who gets the best out of players and can inspire them
Someone who can make a hard decision regardless of the fall out.
Someone who is a bit unusual.
Bass is all of those, no way Roo would ever appoint him though.
Bassett the only choice. Otherwise Pyke stays and campo gets lost
Richmond went down the same external review path as Collingwood. I think it was conducted by KPMG. The result was on both were substantial clean outs within the football departments. The Richmond review was orchestrated by Brendon Gale. I think McGuire was responsible for initiating Collingwoods review.
Pert was shown the door, and Gubby Allen head hunted by McGuire which resulted in Balme leaving Collingwood and taking over the Head of Football Dept role at Richmond (the role Brett Burton fills at Adelaide)
edit: Definitely the external review that our club desperately needs to undertake. Though pointless if they don't clean out the dead wood afterwards. Not the BS reviews performed internally that are completely opaque
I think the bit of a jolt that everyone gets from a senior player being dropped also happens in the reverse when undeserved players return or retain their spots.
Unless you can find a personality big enough and authoritative enough to change the club culture then this revolving door will achieve nothing.
Yes!Get Bassett and Campo would be quickly gone.
Bass doesnt get on that well with anyone really, but im willing to take that hitYes!
I can't imagine they'd get on too well

I played social lawn bowls against him for a few years, hes a great bloke. Very different, but very good all the sameHe actually has a lot of friends, just none involved in footy lol

He is, we generally stuck to the usual social bowls talk of "who's round is it this end"I played football with him, good guy, gets along well with him and many people I know.
Super competitive, but pretty stubborn when it comes to talking about afl.
I might be wrong but I dont believe he got on that well with some of the current ex-players who are currently at the club.No chance the crows give him the coaching position as he won't be anyones puppet.

So yeah he wont be getting a gig here anytime soon
I'vee never seen a coach ask his own supporters "why the * are you talking to me?" until Bassett got a head coaching gig at Norwood.Bass doesnt get on that well with anyone really, but im willing to take that hit
I'm down on him, but I'm down on the entire football department and firing him is just ignoring the rest of the other issues.If we make finals will Pyke be back?
Super intense bloke, was probably too much so.I'vee never seen a coach ask his own supporters "why the fu** are you talking to me?" until Bassett got a head coaching gig at Norwood.
