How is it wrong?Are we surprised that our media strategy is wrong? Again?
The Club has a long way to go in regaining the trust of its supportersUntil I see some the club make some decisions that prove they are capable of making good ones, I will continue to doubt their abilities. There have been many, many examples of poor judgement at the club over the years, so I have great difficulty backing their judgement at the moment.
Why. Have you heard something. Personally I feel a little sad that he has gone but the sadness also comes with the way his move and his talk has been presented. When Eddie was playing with us he talked about how much he loved our club but he also talked so highly of Carlton. Now its all about his love for Carlton whilst Adelaide is so so. Then the media beat it up as the Crows doing the deal fo a pick that Carlton wouldn't have used next year....effective for nothing. We could have played hardball and stopped the fairytail. No credit given to the Crows for ensuring the so called fairytail gets done.I wonder if the Eddie thing hampered us a bit.
We've picked good coaches previously, the review has told us we didn't help them like we needed toYeah not really impressed with his CV. Years of mediocrity under Hinkley and one year at the Giants where they finished 6th and got destroyed in the grand final. I get that his history is not necessarily a reflection of Nicks' senior coaching ability, but hard to get excited until he proves otherwise.
"Unveiled" - one of the AFL media's favourite words, after 'wantaway' and 'luckless'.
Maybe.I think we wanted to give Eddie clean air, that was a big thing for a large portion of our supporter base.
No it just we probably wanted yesterday to be about him rather than squeeze the coach in too.Why. Have you heard something.

Anyway just feeling a bit done on losing Eddie. I love seeing the club up in the spotlight especially about things that are exciting or actractive about the club. We lost Dangerfield who bought those qualities with him and so did Eddie. Sloane is another and Tex was. But who do we have now. Sloane, maybe Milera. Not even the Crouch boys bring those qualities. Fogarty maybe.
He was, but he's not indoctrinated in the Adelaide "oh wow, he's a former Crow player, he must be awesome!" way that guys like Burton and Roo are, so he could see the situation for what it was.Which makes me think that perhaps he wasn’t the part of the problem. I dunno.
I don't think he was the main problem at all but he understood that a senior coach needs to be accountable and fell on his sword. He is a man of integrity unlike Campo and Burton who tried their best to hide under a rock waiting for the storm to pass. I have no doubt that Pyke will go on to have success coaching in the AFL whether as an assistant or another senior gig down the line.Which makes me think that perhaps he wasn’t the part of the problem. I dunno.
He's a newbieWho knows how to take those comments ??
So JJ wasn't the leakWell they couldn’t drag it out any longer - worst kept secret in town.
should have got ahead of it yesterday
I have a mild amount of optimism creeping in, but Roo and Chapman have demonstrated they are clueless about the club and what is going on. Having Roo involved in the coaching appointment doesn't fill me with hope.I understand where you are coming from but I am feeling optimistic about the club starting a new chapter. Onwards and upwards for the 2020s

Are there? I can't think of many outside the last review.But DJ ... also many many good decisions by the club
Let’s keep this assessment balanced

He’s not in the club anymore ... leak pluggedSo JJ wasn't the leak
