And he will be gone next year .
Yep, look at the AFL this year. Poor performances are not accepted. The coach is always the first to go. Look, Pies has been there 4 years. I think we can all agree, he has had a very good playing list. When he came to the club he saw it as a 4 to 5 year plan to get South to be a competative unit. 4th last year and the club would not accept going down the ladder from there.
Predicted top 3 this year by media and others.
If South dont make the finals this year I think you can say contracts mean nothing.
If they do keep him next year , I think he would be a very lucky man.
It's very obvious the playing group are not responding to Pyman. I actually believe the playing group are not responding to each other as well. Something aint right there!!!
Players last year that were in fantastic form have not performed this year. This goes for the new players as well. The coach is there to get the players perform to the best of their ability and switch them on.
It will be a tough decision for the club to make at the end of the year.

If he went I think we need someone with a successful record. This has not happened for a long time at South. (maybe since Cornes coached us!!) We need someone the players have total respect for and play for the club, not themselves!!!
At the end of the year the club needs to go through the list. If they find out who in the playing group does not want to be at South Adelaide next year - P**S them off!!! We dont want them at the club as negativity flows through others. This has happened to long at South and needs to end.
We as supporters/members, are sick and tired of hearing promises year after year only to be let down.
Its time to get it right!!!
