Damian Barrett on Radio: "Well done to Don Pyke - but we won't talk about that now. Let's talk about Adam Treloar, even though there is no new information whatsoever".

 

[baldandbroke]

Good appointment - look forward to seeing him in action.

 

[earlsta]

Interesting that when he w orked for us as a senior assistant it was only during 2005,2006.

"Pyke hasn't been to Adelaide yet, he's been in Perth" according to all and sundry.

Video up on the website from The Shed.

So he has been here. How'd they pull that off?

CGI.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Does he really? ROK is a super keen cyclist. They can be cycling buddies.

I have no idea if he likes to ride a bike haha

It just rhymes

 

[Thinker]

Have spoken to a couple of players. They're keen. Good sign.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Welcome Don Pyke! Let's do this!

 

[Red mist]

About time.

 

[EddieWalker]

Congratulations to Don, welcome back to Adelaide.

We like Pyke

 

[hey shorty]

They were with Sando too.........

But no it always brings a buzz about the place. A few guys would be seeing it as a great opportunity to press their claims.

 

[Pugsley]

Well yes. Thought that Don at least deserved a correct thread title...for his first major thread on this board.
And yes am stoked with appointment...

We can get caught up in the excitement. Fixed now

Don Pyke has a strong name you can see going down in history as a premiership coach.

Malcolm Blight had one too. So did Phil Walsh.

Wine cellars are handy things. Just lay low here, Don

 

[oldcrowgirl]

With absolutely all due respect to Phil Walsh, it's time to welcome Don Pyke.

 

[mulz]

Shut the **** up donny.

But seriously all the best.

So much so that he is about to set off on an Adelaide > Melbourne ride over a week to raise money for charity (Canteen) under the Road Raise banner.

I think this time around there is a bit more reason to be excited. Pyke was a Strategy coach for a side who vastly outperformed most predictions on the back of their tactical work, whereas Sando came from a side that we weren't really capable of replicating and he didn't appear to be a great tactician.

Saying that most of us loved Sando early on so I will hold judgement for now.

 

[Rear Admiral]

I've heard some general comments about Don Pyke - all good. Unfortunately I don't know anything specific. Any main focus Pyke has? Main strategies or themes? I am all ears.

But that aside, I can only hope that finally the time has come to sort out the playing list....

 

[Jarman3]

Shut the **** up donny.

But seriously all the best.

He's out of his element!
