Really enjoying how Pyke is employing the 'let their best mid run rampant' strategy again. Has worked so well in the past so I can understand why he'd go to it again!

Worked with Gaff
Worked with Neale

.... sigh

They only ever sack the head coach. You watch the next coach come on and they re-sign campo and hart. Fagan promised the best football department and he’s failed. Burton is ****. Pyke I actually like except he doesn’t seem to lead his assistants and gives campo to much say. Campos been there almost 10 years. I mean cmon. Sack him first please

A decent head coach will dictate who stays and who goes otherwise they shouldn't take the job. Problems come from the top down though.

 

[mattymac]

Well what an abject disaster. Showing we have a B grade midfield, a midfield down on class and desire.

Our midfield is the glaring blatant hole in our list

 

[RePete]

O'brien hitouts: 19
Gawn hitouts: 17

Not bad for an 11 gamer - even if Gawn is still dominating.

 

[jenny61_99]

The biggest fear if they sack Pyke, is that either Campo or Hart will be caretaker.

Honestly, not to worried about being 25 points down at half time given the last 2 weeks results, certainly won't get complacent or nervous and blow matches we should win. Gonna have to go out and play our footy. Should be pretty fresh considering the effort Melbourne players have put in compared to ours.

Gawn against obrien is the real worry. He's been smashing him and us. Gawn in cruise control.

I Have faith that we can win if we deserve it, and can get play on our terms... And I think we can. Just gotta get tougher and want it more. Need more players contributing.

Murphy with 1 disposal should have been dropped last week and needs to do something, walker with 3 disposals, not good enough. Obrien with 3 disposals not good enough, and Mackay with 3 disposals not good enough.

No one has covered themselves in glory for us. A lot of upside if we can get our game going. Lucky to be this close really. Still in this match imo. Need to fire some shots and more contributors though.

Not sure why anyone is blaming Tex or JJ. The midfield is rubbish, one-way jogging crap, and if laird could stop drinking his own urine he might actually defend someone. Is Seed playing? Gibbs?

 

[The Karma Bus]

We were mid table for two years after losing the GF in 2015, its possible you are going through the same thing.

Only thing is you had the list profile/age to go again, as you did.
Many of our important players from our 2012 and 2015-2017 run are too old now.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Chapman was on the board of directors at my work, until they got rid of him

Not surprised. Seems like the type that gets lucky from connections and nepotism, achieves a position of reasonable note and then just jumps into other positions perpetually from that first one. Plenty of mediocre people in positions they have no right to be in, but are because of appearance.

No use if they aren't to advantage

Thats just wrong. Pyke got us to a freaking GF when the players actually cared. The senior core of this list is fried. We need a refresh. A new coach will achieve zero point zero with these players

Correct weight, but the powers that be are too frightened to initiate the necessary rebuild

 

[Scorpus]

I blame Campo because he sucks and I don't like him

 

[adelaide_girl]

Mate, Pyke blamed the players after the failed CM publicly, and you still like him?

We all at times have issues with our bosses, does that give us the right to behave like petulant princesses. The players of the afc have done this with coaches they don't l like since day one. They get paid huge amounts of money to do a job... how about they do it!

Soft. As. Butter. Deplorable effort from the players, can’t blame the coach.

 

[jenny61_99]

fuming atm

Don’t fume. It’s not worth getting upset over it. Truly it’s not.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Did Betts play that quarter?

Betts and sloane both hamstrings

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Sportsbet have paid out on a Melbourne win

I disagree. I believe the players aren't playing for Pyke. No way back from that.

 

[mattymac]

I would be petty tempted to quit this shit show if I was Pyke

 

[1991firstgamer]

What for ? Tonight shows we need elite mids .

Don’t give up a top 2 draft pick for a ruckman we can get the following year as a free agent .

That's the dilemna

The crazy thing is we'll fire Pyke and somehow Campo will survive his THIRD head coach.

 

[Crowboto]

Im just imagining Dons presser now " credit to Melbourne tonight they showed how tough AFL football is. There will be learnings from tonight, but the reality is we sit here tonight at 5-6. Are we happy? No of course not, but
another opportunity presents itself to us next week.Thats the nature of AFL football. It doesnt stand still. However having said that I know the character of these boys they are a proud group and im backing them in to respond".

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wonder if Sloane was one of the players under s cloud?

 

[WetCrow1991]

Howabout Campo and Hart first. And give Pyke decent replacements

If he can't get the assistants he wants by now, he isn't the one we need.

If these are the assistants he wants, he isn't the one we need
