I thought the Pyke "fell on his sword" thing was fictional and he got paid out.
Of course he got paid out.

From all reports we don't pay well when it comes to our assistant coaching department. Add in COVID cuts then necessitating pay cuts again it's probably not a surprise we couldn't get anyone decent and guys like Mattner decided to go back to the SANFL where he can run his own ship.
You can say "of course" but the club muddied the waters and tried to make it look like it was Pyke's choice to leave. We then assembled a SANFL quality coaching group and I guess that was the club winking at us.Of course he got paid out.
Pretty sure it was stated that we had just re-signed Campo in the months leading into the review. He would have had a pretty hefty payout too. Ditto Burton.You can say "of course" but the club muddied the waters and tried to make it look like it was Pyke's choice to leave.

That's fine, but no flag isn't a clincher for me. Voss tracking well on attempt 2You have to consider his overall record which is nearly 10 years of no success at one of the richest clubs in the land. Then do some mental gymnastics to try and convince yourself he will be better at reject shop Adelaide.
Of course it matters, he was so close to winning a flag, Craig couldn’t even make a GF when we finished top.You keep repeating that thing about the Sheed goal like it matters. Losing a GF by 5 points is no different to losing it by 48 points or 119 points.
Cmon that’s unproven, their midfield regularly got on top of ours.And Craig was a non coked up Cousins from a GF ( on a day his ruckman did his ACL early as well from memory)
Loss is a loss - the Crows were one goal umpire decision away from playing our Bunnies Carlton in a final

Neil, when I was a player didn't like physicality and shunned players that showed it.Neil Craig who couldn’t make a GF and choked in finals? That guy?
Buckley was one Dom Sheed brilliant goal from winning a flag.
When has that worked before?Won't happen, but I would throw the kitchen sink at Luke Hodge.
I would ignore his coaching experience and back his playing career to give him credibility.
Understands the modern game.
Premiership winning player and coach
Played at a successful club
Understand the difficulties of a non Victorian club
Been through a rebuild
Very strong personality who won't follow the past coaches and implement his own culture.

It was just people coping. Same as that shit about Pyke not needing money because he was rich from his investments.Nobody leaves without extracting the absolute maximum from their contract. Bryce Gibbs did not forego a single dollar to either play his farewell game against his beloved Baggers or to spend the last year on our list playing at South. Supporters thinking that any of our players/coaches have every left a single dollar on the table is laughable.
The answer you’re looking for is never. Everyone stopped doing that because it never worked.Picking the coaches we have, that has also worked quite spectacularly.

Yes yes, that’s all they do. Given your vast knowledge of the inside workings of AFL clubs, maybe we should discard everything that has been proven for decades and give a complete newbie a shot. What’s another few years wasted?So getting 1 to 2 years as an assistant coach, moving cones and witches hats makes someone a good coach?
Or, the 17 years in the system as a player. Getting those experiences and knowledge. They already have plenty of experience.
Sorry for wasting your time Mr Kelly.Yes yes, that’s all they do. Given your vast knowledge of the inside workings of AFL clubs, maybe we should discard everything that has been proven for decades and give a complete newbie a shot. What’s another few years wasted?
I'm not obsessed with getting someone with prior senior coaching experience but wasn't Hodge a development coach at Brisbane? People don't typically move to senior coaching roles from there. I can't think of any examples of this off the top of my head.Sorry for wasting your time Mr Kelly.
Hope your football department can improve.
The Riccuito suspension had a bigger effect.Cmon that’s unproven, their midfield regularly got on top of ours.
And Craig was a rampant Harvey from playing a home prelim because he didn’t ****ing tag him.
Craig couldnt help that, but he could re HarveyThe Riccuito suspension had a bigger effect.

Also consider if Hodge had a development role and quit that to do a media gig, is that someone with a burning desire to become a senior coach? Maybe he got a taste of coaching and didn't really like it.
That makes as much sense as the rest of your drivel.Sorry for wasting your time Mr Kelly.
Hope your football department can improve.
Wipe your chin, your nonsense is dribbling down your shirt.That makes as much sense as the rest of your drivel.
