Same with Melbourne.
I think the Crows are in a bit of a no win situation. Had a mate message me today - He’s been bagging Pyke for 18 months and now that he’s gone he’s blaming the boys club for nudging him.
In simplistic terms, they’ve messed up and run their race with this group, so they start again. Plenty of mistakes made for sure, but now they’re trying to repair the club and go again. Doesn’t really strike me as a big deal but the media (professional and social) seem to want to sensationalize it at every turn. You’d think Pyke can’t be the only scalp though else the questioning will continue to linger.

Clearly plenty of us overrated them.

Pyke was always on the way out and knew the writing was on the wall. From where Adelaide was in the lead up to the 2017 finals to where it is now is a disgrace on one of the best resources clubs in Australia. No Crows coach has missed finals 2 years in a row and survived, this isn’t any different - Actually the writing was on the wall when you weigh up what’s happening. For me missing the finals is one thing, the long term outlook for the crows mainly based on from what they were doing this year was extremely concerning. If there is any positive I’m glad this has come to a head now rather in 12 months. The broom needs to keep sweeping but we’ll see.
David Noble will be the favourite I reckon.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?
I like how pyke said he was part of the problem but not part of the solution, a good fella
Im sure next year caroline wilson will add him to the list of those who are succeeding now that theyve left the crows, and hutchy will blame the 2018 preseason camp as to why the new coach cant win a game

The only reason they had them top 4 was because they had a soft draw!!!
