Top 4 !!!!! Who said that?
Now we are dreaming.

One day we will, but Finals should have been possible, even this year with all the injuries. We have shown no improvement since Teague came along other than not losing by huge margins. On the other had, Teague has given us "Teague's gift", which is more than a coach killer, its a game loser. Nothing to do with our past. We have rebuilt the list. We have quality on each line.

I believe a better coach, an uncompromising one with high standards the players would understand, and an understanding of the opposition's plans, would do better than the current coach Teague.

Losing mentality is accepted by the coach of the day. Hence today's problem. Get a smart disciplined coach who loves his players but isn't their best mate to coach and that will change the culture.

Agree about Murphy, not Betts. Betts has been our best forward after Harry this year, and still our best small forward, and he didn't cost us anything, and still doesn't.

Nah, the problem is now, and right in front of us, for all to see.

Walsh, at the risk of an exercise of futility, why don’t you outline from a coaching point of view how Teague has succeeded?

You want to blame the purportedly pea hearted midfield? Why hasn’t Teague done something about that in terms of selection criteria/non favouritism?

Our defenders get caught time and again because the zone defence we employ is picked apart. It seems you want to excoriate the players solely and Teague unable to do anything wrong.

You seem to ignore the criticism relating to Teague’s inability to formulate proper systems and have yet to come up with a satisfactory rebuttal.

Going ad hominem doesn’t really help.

I think Carlton Clem has explained himself well. Right on the money.

Throw the players under the bus, and have Teague smelling like roses.

Nah, the majority of the blame falls on Teague. He's the conductor.

Betts did cost us something. Further development of a younger player eg Honey. Betts was cooked 3 years ago.

Of course the problem is now. Like it was yesterday, day before that, last 10 years etc. No doubt our inability to win games of football has had a huge impact on the club and it’s culture.

Also, not disagreeing with your assessment of Teague. My point is the club has bigger issues than Teague.

As Heath buck said , this situation has become toxic !! And something had to give

We all know they aren’t extending Teague out , we know they aren’t going to coach out his last year and we aren’t making the 8 after several attempts this year to try and launch into the 8 , only for us to fail miserably thru out the year with the final nail on Saturday...

So like old band aid stuck on your body , the club need to have the balls to rip everything off and start with Teague being sacked /resign rhyce shaw like and rest of the changes at this club ..

If we want to start building our culture and outside perspective, then he should resign for the betterment of the club.
Personal issues is always a good one.

And on top of all this Neil Mitchell is reporting that Teague is gone and the fact the Tom (I know nothing and I’m lucky I have powerful media dad ) Browne is denying it !

Spells even more trouble for Teague

Well if you think the midfield isn't pea hearted and good enough then that's your opinion.

They will never collectively be able to compete in clearances against top eight sides. I think the stats prove it and I don't think it's fair to depend on Cripps and Walsh

SPS, Dow, LOB, Fisher are not good enough.

A-ha! I never realised who his dad is! I'm so naive!
The proof for me is that all the remaining ex-players and commentators in the media who would normally be supporting Teague have turned over the past week, obviously indicating they know.

He was on shaky ground in any event but his last - albeit very small- hope was to at least string together wins against the weaker opponents we've faced in the past few weeks but losing to the Kangaroos and now Gold Coast have put paid to that final slim chance.

My brother just texted me with some guy on BigFooty.com barass70 , who he reckons is a real good source , just posted Clarko is very interested...

I think we need to start to get around Walsh , his head is going to explode when Teague goes ...

Just read that online.
Apparently Carlton have denied the story.

Probably smarter to keep clear I would have thought. Who wants to be covered in mush?

But yes, barass’s mail is usually on the money.

Walsh has gone quiet !!


Surely something is going to give this week and it would be stupid by the club to let Teague speak to the media and say the things he has been saying ,

The club failed teague when they appointed him and they are all to blame for this miserable 2 years , sayers was a part of that process !!

Someone in the media ... can't remember who ... said that Teague had a better win/loss record that Clarkson and Hardwick had in their first 3 years.

I thought Clarkson would take a year off but sounds like the knives are out and Teague will soon be replaced.
