Yep dwaino and outcoached too.
I feel that is a tad harsh on Don Pyke. A coach is responsible for a lot of things, but if his team doesn't bring the intensity required, it is not really his fault.
When Adelaide played West Coast at the end of the season and lost at Subi, one of the commentators on ABC radio made the point, which I thought was very valid in watching replays of the GF, that he thought Adelaide was one of the most inflexible teams of 2017. Their forwards are forwards and their backmen are backmen and never the twain shall meet. Their midfielders are good, but they don't have a lot of depth there either.
There is no denying that we were brilliantly coached on the day. Our match-ups were perfect and we executed all day long. Once his game plan fell apart under our pressure and tactics, I am not sure what Pyke could have done. In hindsight, they were too top heavy against a team that was smaller and quicker.
After watching the GF a number of times now
I am of the opinion that the Crows overachieved this season. You have to give Pyke credit for that.
