Rowey said Adelaide looked set to miss finals for the second year in a row and are in dire need of an off-field shake up.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now I think the club\u2019s just a dog\u2019s breakfast, I don\u2019t have any other word for it,\u201d he said. \u201cThe end of season review of the club\u2019s footy program can\u2019t come around quick enough for the fans, I don\u2019t think.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon Pyke all but announced it in his presser. Second year out of the finals is unacceptable — a lot of things have to go their way to get in\u2026 but they\u2019ve underperformed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players are just not connected. No one looks happy, it is just a miserable place that club at the moment\u2026 the Pyke, Fagan, Burton, Roo, Chapman combination to me, from the cheap seats and what I see and hear, stinks to high heaven. So over to you, the Adelaide board. Step up, get the review done and make some change.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Meanwhile, Port received one of the biggest floggings of the year from North Melbourne on Saturday, said Rowey.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey promised the world and delivered an atlas\u2026 that\u2019s as big a football flogging as any I\u2019ve seen this year. And here\u2019s the worry: I don\u2019t think their board, the hierarchy, the administration, the coaching group, the players know what the problem is. One week sensational, the next week scheissenhausen\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll tell you another thing\u2026 the Ken [Hinkley] haters are back, they\u2019re alive and well. I fear for him and his future. The dogs are barking.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is depressing. Oh my god, what happened on the weekend? Our sides are sh**! Sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
