More Adelaide Crow departures are in the offing following senior coach Don Pyke’s exit from the club on Thursday, says Warren Tredrea.
Tredders tweeted his take of Pyke’s media appearance on Thursday afternoon:
Interesting observations from Pyke presser –

Q is there a payout – Chapman “this is a resignation, but negotiations are ongoing.”
Pyke “I’m part of the problem along with others”
My read – sacking, payout and others set to follow. @9NewsAdel
Pyke was adamant when he addressed media that the decision to step down was his, however he is still “keen to keep coaching”.
“I think I’ve got something to offer in that space. We’ll see what the future holds,” he said.
“I believe I still have a lot to offer the game.
“Clearly the teams recent performance is not to our or my expectations… ultimately I take responsibility.
“Change is required. It came down to what is in the best interests of the team and club.
“With others I’m part of the problem quite clearly. Am I also part of the solution?… I’ve reached the decision that it’s best to hand over to a fresh face and a new voice.
“It’s been an absolute privilege and joy to coach this club. I loved my time here. The decision’s been extraordinarily difficult to reach.”
