The Donny Pyke Farewell Tour

[Mike Smyth]

Given no AFC coach has survived more than 2 years of not making the finals I guess the next 2 games will be Don's farewell tour. Do we chip in for a present/card - what's the story?

As a parting gift can I suggest we buy him a multi-year family AFC membership so he and his family can get as much joy out of the next 5 years as we will.

"You try telling Andy Otten he needs to retire"

I might go next week just to wave goodbye.

* him. He made his bed. Thanks for the 2017 GF Don. Wish it had turned out different but, not playing the kids has been the kicker for me this year. I want him out pronto!

No other coach got us to a GF. He’ll remain for as long as we’re mathematically capable of playing finals in 2020.

Don Pyke, I am honored and grateful that you have invited the supporters to the Adelaide Oval on the farewell game of your coaching tenure. And may your final game plan be a masculine game plan....... We pledge our ever-ending loyalty.

 

[Murray2503]

Thanks for the memories Pyke. Will chip in 5 bucks for your leaving party. Apparently the DJ has been instructed to play golden oldies. Enjoy WA Don.

People need to be held to account for the horrendous decisions made over the last 2 years. The following needs to happen immediately after the season finishes:

Chapman needs to step aside
Riccuito need to step aside
Burton gets the sack
Pyke gets the sack

Then we start the external review conducted by non-South Australians.

You missed some. Campo, Hart, Reid, Fagan, Hass. Forgot the media clown. Forgot his name.

Genuinely staggered that this clown still has a job.

How unfit does our list look? Two wasted pre-seasons in a row now.

He must have some pretty incriminating photos of Burton.

Jokes aside what a heartbreaking two years. The club went out of its way to set itself up to not win a premiership.

In any organisation you can not improve without changes as we have seen,you become stagnant as this club has, a good start would be someone in this organisation just come out and say changes will be made instead of the “we’ll back our people in”give people some hope at least

Shuttlesworth?

Has been a heartbreaking 21 years. The thing that hurts is that we are the laughing stock of the comp.

$3,000,000 suggests he’s around next year.

Sorry to be a party pooper.

Great point mate. Contracts never get broken in this competition.

Brian Cunningham has put his hand up.... he would tell some very hard truths.

Strangely that doesn't bother me in the slightest. Supporting the Crows is like having Teflon like super powers.

Nope. Has to be someone who isn't part of the incestuous SA sporting community.

They don’t if the contract has a few million dollars left to be paid out.

I keep hearing this. How could it possibly be $3 million?

 

[hey shorty]

700K for 2 years plus the same in soft cap taxes.

The guy who we all thought was going to turn the club around came from our biggest rivals.

I reckon having Bucky as head of the review would be great, but yep throw in some interstate influences.

That's got to be the most stupid comment I've read here (and that's include many posts from Sanders), do you only hangout with anti-Crows supporters? We are a long way from having a Carlton-ist era or even Primus-ist era, a very long way.
Like I've previously said, we've been as successful as West Coast on and off the field since both of us entered the AFL but they took their chance when they had the chance to win the premiership and we didn't.....and pity our state didn't get adventurist and built a new multi-purpose stadium to rival the MCG but instead revamp an old AO stadium at the cost of $550M.

 

[jackster83]

Can't wait for the two men who got us into this mess, Brett Burton and Mark Ricciuto, to be the ones to pick our next coach.

Listened to this amateur in the press conference - "ROBS form was down a bit" - you mean for 1 game you hack.
