Coach Don Pyke - over to the Eagles as new CEO

[S120]

Hopefully he's got enough of an itch to pursue a flag with this group. He doesn't sound absolutely desperate to be a head coach again but open to it if the situation is ideal. I'd wager the president/board drama at Collingwood might count against them in that regard - here's hoping anyway.

 

[BloodySwan]

Pyke has only said he's thinking of applying, not that the Pies have reached out to him. Every chance he could consider it and get knocked back

 

[Kiama Chris]

Bugger. Best of luck to him if he decides to go again. But gawd dammit, his influence has been felt throughout this year and I was hoping he'd see us through to another GF.

He's a very smart man and keeping his options open. If he decides he wants the job, he'll get it and he'll go with our blessing. Never stand in the way of someone bettering themselves. If he decides to stay, we all breathe a big sigh of relief.

Why Don Pyke Could Be Perfect For Collingwood

Don Pyke's exit from Adelaide wasn't a graceful one, though that doesn't mean his time as an AFL coach should be over. In fact, there's a good argument that Collingwood could be a perfect destination for him.

Piss off Collingwood.

Piss off Collingwood.

The last 4 Collingwood coaches have been big names in the league or at the club with Leigh Matthew’s, Shaw, Malthouse and Buckley. Pies seem to attract a big name to coach them. Would be a change in thinking for the Pies to go for someone with a lower profile.

I’m happy for him if that’s the path he wants to go but remember if he thinks the pressure he felt at Adelaide was bad Collingwood will dwarf that in the first week.

I can't remember which of the journos reported it but the other day I saw one of them had reported Collingwood had narrowed it down to four options: Michael Voss, Adam Yze, Adam Kingsley

and Brad Scott.

If that's true then maybe Pyke has already rejected Collingwood? Or it could be a load of BS and they haven't settled on anyone yet.

Pies board seem to think it's down to Kingsley, Scott and Pyke with Scott as the front runner.

Scott would be the best choice. Gets around his players (maybe too much?) and can put up with a sh*tty board.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

We'll find out what drives Pyke by whether he throws his hat in the ring or not. No problem if he wants it but would leave a hole in our team that Horse et al filled quite brilliantly. Not sure there's a better tactician available. Wait and see.

Footy Class last night said Don Pyke pulled out, smart decision. Caro said McRae was the pea

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

When in doubt, always pull out.

I come in peace to visit the Swans board in Derby week.

May I ask two dumb qus.

Is it the expectation of Swans members that Pyke is Horse’s successor as your HC?

And is that succession any time soon?

No probs.

Most of the talk that I've seen on here is that Cox is our next man, and that Pyke is here to help the transition/teach what he knows.

I assume that Pyke will eventually find a job somewhere else.

Unless the Swans have been more impressed than they thought and want to make Pyke the next successor, which is possible, but Horse is contracted until the end of 2023 from memory, so he would have to wait until then if he was the successor.

My opinion? Pyke finds a new head coaching role in 2-3 years and Cox takes over at the swans.

Horse as likely as not to have a Sheedy/Bellamy type tenure.

Cheers Kapers - make sense.

Whatever happens this weekend, let’s hope the 2021 flag is coming to NSW.
