I think would be unlikely. Should still be 44 in some form next year.
In the crows instance how many on our list? So what would our average be if we go in with less how will that affect our average player payment, so many variances

So in 2015 we made the finals in spite of Campo being coach after the tragedy was the players doing it in spite of Campo? Thommo not playing is because of Pyke but Mackay playing is because of Campo?? Choose your battle lines and stick with them
Give credit when it is due and hammers when they are due as well. If the midfield structure collapses and its the same group then the coach is struggling, if that same group is ranked high in clearances then credit the coach
No that's 2017 apparently. A 20% increase to total salaries would require lists cut to 40 to average 400. Pretty crap union if they take pay rise for stars, for redundancies.I think it was 309 last year this year would be slightly higher I thought

Last year we played out of form players or injured ones, they haven't been doing that this year and haven't so far
Have we ever changed a line up due to weather?
JJ looked up and about last Sunday to you?
The other thing that surprises me is all the people still wanting to play Menzel. He clearly ain't very good...plays a lot like Richard Tambling ...and will suffer a similar fate. Worst of all...he just doesn't fit in with the rest of the team. I was in Queensland for the GC game and watched them train on the Friday. He looked SO out if place during the drills...quiet, shy, unsure of himself...I swear I felt embarrassed watching him...no one else in the team kicked to him much and he just hang around the fringes of the drills. Otten on the other hand ...well...he didn't shut up for a second and cleaned up anyone that got between him and the ball. Menzel is not going to make it at AFL level....especially at the Crows.
Not for weather, not for match ups, not for balance, not to rest, not with an eye to any further away than 4 points this weekend. Basically, we don't make changes outside of injury, a sub 30 gamer only being ok and when a 100+ game player has finally had all the holes punched in his 10 s**t games on the trot card.
Who are the, "all the people". All I've seen is posters wanting Knight in with the expectation that the out will come from Milera or Mackay. Nobody has called for Menzel in ahead of Knight. Where have you read this?
You don't agree with maintaining a competitive environment and rewarding players who maintain form, would you rather drop players that are putting it on the park because you have a gut feel player A is better than player B although a competitive environment is being created
Pretty much the old gold pass attitude wouldn't you say
And don't start any BS Mackay isn't in form he clearly is and I'm not even a huge fan
Menzel was dropped on form
Mackay played 19 games the year he's was contracted and averaged 18 possessions.A player would agree if he thinks his days are numbered and he secures a long term contract even on less coin simple economics, you should now that, you studied Eco at uni
A more competitive environment will be created by players who have played just well enough to hold their spot actually miss out in favour of a better player returning after a week off. That creates much more competition, it's a concept that you understand when talking about Sloane, Tex, Betts, Talia, but it also applies to a decision between Knight and either of Milera or Mackay. Just going well enough isn't enough and it's what we've always rewarded and as you know, we've not made the big dance for 20 years, so I'm sure you're looking to some changes somewhere. Or have I misunderstood and you want to improve but you don't think anything needs to change?

19 games in 2013 and 23 in 2012.
We did not have running players in our squad then. So what makes you think he saw himself as a depth player whose days were numbered? What makes you think the club saw him as that? The fact he continues to get picked suggests the opposite.
Jeez, the team has been set for some time, yet the Holy Trinity of posters are still banging on incessantly about Mackay! Take some valium and give it a rest, boys. If the hyperactivity won't go away, then turn your intellects to analyzing what methods we should use to beat North in the wet today.
Even if he was venting, you don't know if the figure he was venting was incorrect, maybe that's one of the reasons he was angry, he knew the figure.We don't know his contract though, we don't know if they offered him two years at $400k and his manager negotiated 4 years at $350k to get him security. Mackay himself may have thought he was in doubt of being long term. So many unknowns apart from some player who you met who was pissed at the club and venting his anger to some bozzo called Elite whilst at the pub, can you see the irony
Looking at how our midfield has functioned with Campo being in charge of that group makes me wonder how good he is at his role, seeing there was a period that despite having one of the best midfields' on paper, we were woeful in that area. Of course it's hard to really know either way, but he certainly hasn't covered himself with glory.

You're the one coming up with hypotheticals which see Mackay undervaluing himself, thinking he's under the gun besides being a regular player and accepting a contact that is unders when he knew he had no competitors for his place in the team. You also think it's a good idea to give a long term deal to an average player. Even if it's $350k, that ain't too far below $400k.
The only true way to establish whether assistant coaches are achieving their own KPIs in the eyes of footy management is whether they are still being employed. Its harsh to just pinpoint failure on one long term assistant purely on the basis that they have been there for a long time. Noble got blamed unfairly because 3 quarters of the time he wasn't even in the role he was being blamed for. Then when that was highlighted it was because he had performed that role and it was lingering.
What Pykes era has shown compared to previous coaches is just what a different a highly organised and structured coach can make to the entire performance.
Pyke is effectively in charge of the assistants if he was not unhappy with their output he would get rid of them, you would think that anyway , because if it was me I wouldn't put up with poor performance
Campo and Clarke were still on contract when Pyke came on board.Pyke is effectively in charge of the assistants if he was not unhappy with their output he would get rid of them, you would think that anyway , because if it was me I wouldn't put up with poor performance
Hampton again led the pressure acts again last week, so he's still contributing defensively, even if he didn't find as much of the pill last week. It almost looks like he's been given a #1 priority as being a defensive presence at the centre square while we let Sloane, the Crouches and guys running through the square like Cameron, Betts etc worry about winning the pill. I noticed a bit of a different set up from the centre square too where we occasionally had Cameron and Betts run from our forward 50 into the square, rather than from the back of it. I wonder if that was to add another defensive element to the midfield after the 1st quarter as well.Which is interesting as the two worst players last week were JJ and Hampton, both Mackay and Milera were much better than those two.JJ is the interesting one, realistically he is the one that should be called to go back with so many weeks off and coming back with bad form
I believe Walsh had originally wanted to replace Campo, but gave a tick to him being re-signed after working with him.Campo and Clarke were still on contract when Pyke came on board.
Same with Walsh I'm pretty sure.
