Did you ever think if might have been collective minds that wanted to part ways due to bad publicity? Wonder if they will ask for damages from a few media outlets?
Also Tom Lynch was house shopping in Melbourne last week according to Mclure and co....obviously didn’t find anything he liked. Was also reported yesterday that we still were low balling him..obviously happy with his 200k a year deal.
Or there has been a bit of money freed up recently

And, where was ol' mate Fages? Surely the boss rolls up to this one.

Thought it was ok. They answered enough questions to satisfy most except for the journos who want to keep this story going.
What it did show is Pyke and Burton are definitely not on the same page...
Not sure why they held it at 3pm on a Saturday. Might be more on Shuttleworth for organising rather than the club as a whole for that decision.

When Burton was tip toeing around the question if the camp was a pass or fail, and Pyke spoke over him and said "it was a fail"...loved it from Pyke.

Yeh Pyke didn't seem to impress with Burton. I wonder what they said to each other after it was finished

Only last week Collective Minds was good for the club and many positives were drawn from it and then it's hasta la vista on Saturday afternoon and a few things they'd been denying, denying, denying were in fact true all along. The blindfolding on the bus with the Richmond song playing, for instance.
Burton was the wrong bloke to have there I reckon, if they had their time again he'd be behind closed doors.
It needed Fagan/Chapman and Pyke up there who are better media performers than Burton. The whole thing was stage managed quite poorly IMO, from the standing up where body language can't be hidden to the timing, just felt rushed and by holding it when they did it seemed like it was a Claytons presser. The presser you have when you don't have a presser.

Yeah I must admit I liked that from Pyke. A bit of honesty which is what is needed to put this bizzare thing where it belongs and that's in the gutter. Unfortunately McClure, Barrett, Rucci live there so it probably still won't go away.MW wrote:Agree.

Really the only way for it to be killed off is for the crows to start winning again and lock a few more players in. Lynch was a really good start.

That presser could have put this all to bed and ended the story but has done far from that.
