Mega Thread Don's Party - The future is so bright, we need some pizza and a piss-up

[Scorpus]

We're more likely to drop Mackay than fire Pyke

 

[thebirdman 24]

God help us if this is true.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Robbo seriously laying into Pyke and the team on AFL 360 tonight. I appreciate you are not playing well but Robbo coming across as the nasty piece of work that he is. I’m interested to see if he goes that hard when Pyke is sitting next to him.

We'll fire Pyke, and give Mackay a 3 year extension to be player-coach. Been a while since there was one of those, must be about time for it to come back into fashion.

 

[SaltPeter]

We've not really had any injuries this year that you could put down to Burton.

No we have a team the has become the posters boys for second half fadeouts. Statistically, the club cover the least number of km each week, lowest number of high speed sprints etc.

Steve Saunders brought in to fix up the mess Burton and Hass created in there 2018 preseason. Is there any chance the players couldn't do the running required in order to build them back up to the standards we've become accustomed to?

Chayce Jones came 2nd in 2km runs behind Milera. Kelly, McHenry and ROB performed well also. Where were the rest of the group, considering traditionally we've been 1 of the fittest clubs in comp?

 

[Smoooothy]

On 360 right now, Pyke doesn't look like a coach that's about to be handing his notice in

Let’s not get carried away lol

 

[Cap]

Doesn't seem legit

 

[TGFC]

Not impressed, however interested in his mention of the rest of the coaching/high performance staff are in this together

 

[hey shorty]

Are you pleased with the teams results thus far?

Yes, last year we finished 12th and at the moment we are sitting in the 8 so thats a significant improvement and shows we are heading in the right direction.

I'm glad he's happy we're likely to win less games.

Why is this not getting more attention?

After the absolute disaster of last year / we are now the UNFITTEST team in the AFL.

The Adelaide Crows, with our massive overspend in the fitness department, are the least fit team in the AFL.

That is an disgrace - yet predictable, thanks to the muppets in charge of those areas.

 

[King Elvis]

Pyke should quit.

Our Club is ****ed, not his fault, but he can’t fix it.

 

[Smoooothy]

Pyke should quit.

Our Club is f’ed, not his fault, but he can’t fix it.

He's been sold a lemon

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We've not really had any injuries this year that you could put down to Burton.

Burton isn't in fitness anymore, Saunders has his role and the results show. Not only did Burton not get given the flick for our appalling injury list and collective minds **** up, he was promoted to football ****ing manager.

I've said this many times before but Pyke leaving will not change a thing unless we get rid of Birdbrain, Camporeale, Hart, Ricciuto and, even, Godden who looks out of his depth in the AFL.

 

[1970crow]

Pyke should quit.

Our Club is f’ed, not his fault, but he can’t fix it.

He shouldn’t quit, he should go down swinging and take the system down with him. But none of this is happening, Pyke is going nowhere for the medium term.

When you overcook the group you need to dial it back. It’s nearly impossible to dial it back just right.

 

[Murray2503]

Hoping this is true and it's the beginning of several sackings including Campo, Hart, Hass, Burton for starters. Chapman and Roo next. Pyke seems very subdued on Afl 360 so there could be some truth to it. If he is not sacked I feel he will resign and go back to WA.

 

[hey shorty]

I doubt it, unless Roo has had enough of people questioning him.

Club deserves it but he is directing it at the wrong person. It should be directed at Rob Chapman and Mark Riccuito imo. Don Pyke is not the personality that is needed at our club and lacks genuine match day smarts in the box. I also feel he is not overly liked by the playing group so therefore must go but the club has major problems which start with Rob Chapman.

 

[1970crow]

We'd be better off sacking Burton now and telling our assistants that they won't be getting their contracts renewed.

Burton's replacement needs to be involved with the decision regarding the head coach.

As much as I think Pyke is a spud, if I had control, I’d be doing exactly the above. Pyke would get another year to prove that he wasn’t dragged down by those around him.

 

[1970crow]

Why didn't we try Kelly when it was clear Sloane was struggling? Has more size.

When something isn't working, you change things up. It's really not a hard concept.

Kelly a runn8ng freak, highly competitive, aggressive and good sized. But the only place we’ve played him nit in defence was as a wingman while we were waiting for Spudmac to return from injury. Looks made for tagging IMO.

 

[Houston]

Nah, no matter how hard he goes he needs to go harder. Our admin are a disgrace.

Extraordinary statement!

 

[SaltPeter]

And like his father he has the ability to be a campaigner and it would be water off of ducks back

 

[hey shorty]

Kelly is the ideal tagger really, always has been.
