Why on earth would Freo pick Pyke given his poor record and not give Justin Longmuir a chance?

Pyke actually had the fourth-best record among current coaches (61%), fractionally behind Clarkson.
Would depend on how much of the unrest at Adelaide came down to Pyke. Crows fans are naming names and Pyke was no better than 6th in line for the bullet! Brett Burton head of the queue...
In saying that, Pyke oversaw two failed seasons in a row with a list at the pointy end of maturity. He had to go down with the ship.
Thats largely built around his initial year or 2 I imagine which were heavily influenced by the legacy of Phil Walsh.
Well, maybe. Walsh was only in charge for 12 games. Agree that Pyke picked up the reins at an opportune time.
I actually wonder whether the Walsh thing had a delayed effect. Maybe they felt they were riding some sort of wave to destiny where they would dedicate the premiership to Walsh and make everything right, and their belief system started crumbling after the GF defeat.
I heard the interview with Blight. Not what he said.Not a rumor but Blight on SEN reckons Pyke is a shoe in for the Freo job. Apparently he's wanted to go back to his home state.
Woosha's been promised to coach Essendrugs in 2020, but I'll bet no-one mentioned exactly how long for. If they play well n look like making finals again, then I guess Woosha will coach out the full year n get transitioned out after the season when his contract expires. If they hit a shaky patch n struggle to get up the ladder, I've no doubt there'll be a mid season care taker coach appointed.Rutten said he ain’t leaving farty hill.
Believes his next in line when Worsfold is finished.
Which makes me wonder if his been promised the job end of season.
No, we broke them. Their arrogance before that game told the story. The power stance. Booking the seat for the Cup on the flight home.
Did he sing the tigers song at halftime over the loud speaker?Tigers piling on the misery for the Crows.
A Beanie led Glenelg put them out of SANFL finals and he and they will play off in the GF.
Beanie with 4 including 3 in the premiership quarter where Glenelg went from 8 points down at half time to 18 points up at the last change.
BTW 54 goals in 19 games for Liam.

I wonder if the Crows will look at him, if Betts goes.Beanie really found his level in the SANFL.
