Camporeale was seen to be too close to Pyke. No other finding against him.

Wouldn't have thought loyalty was a bad thing.

So what is the real reason behind Pyke "quiting" ?

    Poor relationship with a few players and loss of faith in him by others.

    Crazy isn't it.

    Perhaps the least understood key factor in any team (or organisation for that matter) success is the strength of the board and the how effective its governance is. 

    It is one reason that i am very confident he dees will bounce back. We are in a good space in terms of our board, governance and executive.

    Nice to read a sensible post on this thread. My thoughts also.

    I have hated them and the AFL with serious intent since DJ. And that does not take into account the worst supporters in the comp.

    I've hated them since 1998 when we beat them by 48pts in the Qualifying final yet they stayed in due to some anomaly and won the flag.

    The crows are a shambles.  Still they can’t do mediocrity like we do.

    Whatever way you look at it the Crows have serious problems, with no coach, no chief of the FD, assistants coaches being shown the Dorrington and players wanting out all over the place. add the trading period / drafting is upon them. 

    Oh great it could not happen to a nicer mob.

    This is the only team in the competition that I truely hate.

    Don't choke on the schadenfreude!

    Must have been the camp - glad we didn't have one as we have done so well since.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
