SS,

It is pointless banging on about the Media. They are sharks. They get a sniff of blood in the water and it is all over. And when there is no blood in the water someone draws the short straw and jumps in to open up a wound somewhere, somehow.

As an Old Boss use to say to me................"The worst thing that ever happened to the AFL was SEN".

24/7/365 must be filled and most of it is done so with out n' out lies, half truths, conjecture, supposition and straight up hysteria backed by bile, hatred and more than a fair share of axes to grind.

Stewy Dew will get the next run through the ringer. Fresh meat is always required to feed the hungry beasts.

As the Romans taught us..................... it's Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down from the great unwashed in need of entertainment. More so now that Lockdown amplifies everything to 11.

Walsh, you never answered my question. I ask honestly because I flip from sacking Teague (last Saturday he was gone) to putting correct structure around him.

Who are the two players that correct the ship. You’ve got 2 first round picks and limited players as collateral

I heard Pickers rant this morning.

If there weren't already 3" nails on Teaguey's coffin lid, there probably is now.

He has a weekly soap box on SEN so he stood up and used it to support his client. Support is what he is paid for.

Cynics could muster a strong case to suggest it was all a bit of a 'Performance' to show his client he was still in his corner. He stated he has been Teague's manager for over 10 years.

I would love to do a flow chart about the entire review process (excluding comments from all outside media BS)

The old 'If that - Then this' hypothesis.

I'm not sure what more could have been done to conduct the review in an orderly fashion. Sayers had every right to call for the review as the incoming President.

Every move made was Criticised by the Media right from the time it was announced.

The need, The timing, The reason, The reviewers, The secrecy, The process, The findings being withheld etc, etc and on and on and on.

The Media sharks and those with vested and self interest came in their droves to take a bite at every one of the above. SEN 24/7 and the football shows smashed it to bits day in day out.

Sayers and the Board have kept the stiff upper lip through it all, baring the 'Statement of rebuttal' to the Neil Mitchell rumour'.

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe there has been any proven leaks from the Review or the Board about the process. Carolyn Wilson certainly hasn't come out with any major announcement and she is the litmus test for such things.

Even Lloyd and Wright were having coffee in public, so the talk about him possibly moving on is not actually a major secret. No-one else at the Club has spoken about their positions.

Did Sayers get the Process right? Did it need to be done when it was done? In the Cold light of day, if you remove the Media blitz, it hasn't been that ugly IMHO.

I agree. Any rational person (ie. someone who doesn’t listen to SEN or watch Fox Footy, or at least doesn’t take the hyperbole to heart) would say that the timing of the review was sensible and that the club shouldn’t provide a running commentary on it.

Teague has been treated poorly. Don’t think he is the right coach going forward but he has been made the scapegoat for club incompetence.

I still can’t see us contending for a while. Even with an experienced coach. So the cycle is likely to continue. I hope I am wrong. But I have little faith in this club.

How has he been treated poorly? Would you rather wait until the end of the season to call the review?

At this present moment sayers has handled it well , pickers is just example of the complete conflict of interest they all have in the afl

And hopefully Sayers with Teague it’s a band aid effect and tells the afl world my Monday so everyone can move on ,,

The new President need to make his presence felt next week and set a tone on how he is going to handle things especially in bad times like next week

Where's Walsh?
Must be tired, I know I am.

Silly season begun four months too early around round 10. When the board did not allow football do the speaking.

Instead it created an absolute circus with clowns everywhere.

I believe rounds 1-9, the football spoke very clearly.

Agree...have your own views on Teague but FFS, please do not use the hypocritocal media whirlpool as a validation for supporting Teague

This was the same media who pulverised every aspect of Teague's portfolio during the year on their footy shows

Teague will be gone next week for one simple reason...he is no flowering good as a senior AFL coach

And providing him with better assistants is like putting lipstick on a pig...not even taking into account the fact good senior assistants would learn SFA from Teague...why would they bother coming anyway????

Vive Le Review...the Revolution is upon us...AND NOT BEFORE FLOWERING TIME

How has he been treated poorly? Would you rather wait until the end of the season to call the review?

Sure played top four teams with healthy lists...
