[Moonwatcher]

Roo, Benny Hart, the Birdman..

Starting to feel like old times

I was going to post the same thing without the ''

 

[Slippery Pete]

what is TOTAL FOOTBALL

The 2007 Grand Final.

 

[ImportExport]

The 2007 Grand Final.

what an achievement to make the grand final with that bunch of flogs, the crows only have to win a final with the help of Michael Talia and that sends them into delirium.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

It's formula one footy.

In Don's words total football is the 3 phases of football

1. Contested ball
2. Ball movement
3. Team defence

What's to be good at all components

or in the immortal words of Kevin "Cowboy" Neale:

1. when nobody's got it
2. when we've got it
3. when they've got it

the more footy changes, the more it stays the same.

Last weekend it was Port poster JimmyBeerCans biting back at everything any Crows supporter said on here, along the usual lines of "nyah nyah Port's good Crows suck"

I jokingly said "looks like JimmyBeerCans is on spotfire duty this afternoon!"

Today it's ImportExport

Seriously are you blokes on a roster or something?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Port flogs and Ken would be experts on spin

It has amazed me Truly that Port Supporters are already abusing us and paying out the selection. I don't get it.

Happy and sad day yesterday. It's a mighty tough job he's got ahead of him considering he'll be the 4th senior coach the players have had in 18 months.

They only just learnt a whole new game plan and approach under Walshy, can't afford to move too drastically away otherwise their brains will be fried I think.

2016 is going to be very interesting how the playing group responds. Haven't listened to the whole presser yet but so far everything is pleasing.

At the start of the presser youtube video, did seem like a small turnout? Not a whole lot of journos or staff there for arguably the highest position in SA sport being filled.

It's Adelaide though. 1 paper and 3 sport-covering ratio stations.

We only have a handful of journos and that's including wastes of space like Rucci and Rehn.

we can do a roster if you like?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Don't overrate yourself too much there, boss. Port are in the exact same situation as us -done sweet f*ck all for years and years and years.

Missed the finals actually and were rated the most disappointing side of 2015

 

[fabs33]

Good point.



The point just above - previously the Crows have had absolutely zero understanding (or willing to take on) this concept. I only hope and pray with Fagan at the helm and 'Roo in the mix - this attitude has changed, where they realise every year you take the field is not a Grand Final year. Need to rebuild.

That I agree with. Which is why I thought Walsh's view of developing a squad with 2017 in mind was refreshing.

 

[Bay62]

Well you've gone a shade of red in the past few minutes so perhaps it's time to tag someone else in

Aah the off season hey...

 

[Pugsley]

I know you like to believe that but that never entered my mind. I was talking about his persona during his interviews. He had authority in his voice. Whilst I am sure that Walshy was good for Port Adelaide it wasn't the only club that he learnt his trade from.

Sorry

Stop taunting him. He can't respond

One of my old coaches used to trot that out.

 

[Sin City]

Sounds like a good appointment, everyone seems to rate him highly. Hope he goes well

 

[Geoffa32]

Didn't take long for a Cy Walsh troll on their board.

With Pyke's video, the aim was to portray an image of strength and confidence. The result was someone who looked liked they just escaped from James Nash house.

 

[Doombs]

Just got around to watching the presser. Does anyone else think Fages is looking run-down? It's been a massive 12 months for him. Probably due for a little holiday at some stage after the trade period. Somewhere other than Brisbane...

Quaity human beings some of them.

 

[Elite Crow]

I thought Pyke spoke in a calm and intelligent manner, are some seriously bagging that interview?

Felt he handled it well.

As I said on the Fagan thread, I think Pyke will be quite systematic and organised in his coaching/gameplan. Can't see that there will be too many catch phrases or buzz words.


Can see the media (mainly Rooch) getting frustrated with Pykes pressers. I like it.

 

[little graham]

Roo, Benny Hart, the Birdman..

All played here when Pyke coached here under Craig.

You do know he has a two month old right?

yep ....the last month he's showing some stress .....it's a full on job & he needs a rest soon
