Go on previous form and you'll get your answer. There's no rush. The bloke LoGiudice wants is Clarkson. North and Saints search doesn't affect Carlton. The only thing missing is Fraser Brown attempting to bribe the board to install Ratts. Ratten has about as much chance of being at Carlton as I have of winning Powerball and about as much chance of being at Moorabbin as LoGiudice resigning at the next AGM. It's a small selection panel who want to make a big splash. This is the last roll of the dice. I don't really care who gets the gig, I just want to win. This is not a successful AFL club. But it can be. May the best man 'win'.

We had won 4 out of 43 pre Teague

We have now won 3 out of 5 under him.

Also bolts was coaching peak era hawthorn, how the hell is that comparable to Teague coaching us?

He doesn’t have the job yet, but keep going as we have for the remainder of the season then the job is his.

If we lose to GC though all bets are off.

Agree smack the Suns which I think is highly probably and wins against Crows and Saints without smashing in remainder of the games, Teaugy will be Coaching for the 2 years at least.
There’s a very positive vibe about the place , supporters are looking forward to games and excited , optimistic about wining and with out Charlie , it’s pretty exciting stuff at the moment.

From the team that won on the weekend we still have Charlie, McGovern, Weitering, Marchbank, Cuningham, Stocker, and eventually Docherty and Williamson to come back. Hell of a lot of talent there and most of them are pretty much automatic selections when fully fit. Exciting stuff indeed

This is what bothers me Doc - that it comes down to a bunch of corporate types who more than anything like the idea of a "big deal". Clarkson would obviously satisfy that desire, but that doesn't mean he's necessarily the best fit for Carlton.

I think that they should firstly be sorting out what went wrong with Bolton - especially if the selection panel includes some of the same people. (Assuming that Bolton was considered a mistake which I suppose is debatable).

We have 6 games left, with a few top 8 teams left to play. Defeat GC, Saints, Adelaide and his odds would be slashed, knock off a top 4 side in the Eagles, Tigers or Cats and you can’t pass him up IMO.

Exactly how I see it too.

Aside from winning games alone, the board will want a few other boxes ticked. Competitive in the finals, attract more members and the big one.....attract A-Grade players.

Winning the mentioned games and knocking off a top 4 side before the finals (esp. Geelong) will tick 2 of those 3 straight away.

If he gets that type of score card then logic dictates you have to give Teague two pre seasons to get this team roaring.

I actually thought de-Boltonizing this team would take time but with small tweaks with the midfield and forward line is all that was needed to play more cohesive that Bolts never saw.

Teague knows this playing group well my only concern is that he will be too friendly with the players and not hardass enough.

But i love his attitude as a senior coach "Do your job".

Absolutely it’s as if a huge veil has been lifted, if only the Board had been more courageous and decisive at the end season 2018.
I have a gut feel that Teaugy will continue to surprise in a positive and constructive way.
The last 6 rounds of matches will be of tantamount importance to CFC and David’s aspirations of being an AFL Senior Coach.

At bad clubs, the board to a large extent are concerned as much with getting wins as covering their own buttholes. I think we are all worried the current board will do the same. No guarantee Clarkson is the answer. Pagan and Malthouse are proof of that and where are the Hawks on the ladder right now?

Of course there is also no guarantee Teague is the answer. But one thing Teague has Clarkson doesn't is the players' vote. Oh and he is in the seat right now. Position is his to lose, unless of course our board are as stupid as I fear they might be. Judd might have ballsed up pretty bad the other day but he comes across as a smart fella generally speaking, so fingers crossed he ensures the smart decision is made.

The other thing about Teague is, he comes across as intelligent himself, the way he talks etc. He is no bozo. It's not all about being relateable to the players, got to have a brain too.

If Clarko had the Hawks in the Eight today it might be different. But he doesn't. He is a mere mortal. Most of the recent premiership coaches weren't fancied initially, so that also points to Teague. But as we all know he needs to keep the wins coming. Make it so that the board simply cannot appoint anyone else. Hopefully Clarko, or heaven forbid Lyon if promised the gig call The Judge and say "Look, honestly, you're mad to not give it to Teague". I can see Clarko doing that. Not sure about the other guy.

Michael Voss officially in the hunt to be Carlton’s next senior coach
https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-20 ... d8a7d3eb47

This article is a bordering on the sensational.

The takeaways for me are, we've interviewed Voss, fair enough, we'll be interviewing other candidates too I assume; and that the club will speak with Teague formally about the coaching gig at the end of the season.

Given Morris' connection to Roos via FoxFooty I'm not sure why the Voss/Roos double act that's been floated wasn't addressed in his article. Even if it's to say, he believes that Voss will coach alone without a senior mentor/whatevs.

Marc smurf on BF justifying why Clarko would be great.
I'm just trying to figure out how we might include Teague if this is the way it's going. I don't know if he would want to stick around under a a succession plan. I don't think the execs factored in the groundswell of support for Teague. It is raining on what they thought would be an amazing coup. But here we are with a more romantic prospect. One of our own....like Ratts but perhaps more switched on as a coach and loved by supporters and players.
Now what!

Does anyone actually know how they are running the process?

Are they very much selecting their hit list - and calling them in for interviews?
Or are they waiting to see which managers come to them?
Do they have a secret 1800 number for Clarko and Longmire to call from a Telstra phone box?

Does anyone have any inside knowledge of what they are going to do differently this time?
Good boards have reviews and focus on self improvement.
Is it likely that they have some lessons / insights from what could be improved from the Bolton process?

I'm desperately hoping that we are edging closer and closer to excellence in our processes...
but I have nightmares that the Carlton board room is just like Jabba the Hut's palace, and people feed pizza and spag bol to the Judge and he claps his hands and declare who he wants as coach ....

Any idea who Mathieson wants as coach?? Is he on the Clarko bandwagon too?
What about the Pratts?

Voss interviewed today apparently.

Still don’t know who the best fit is. At least people look like they want the job this time, unlike the bonfire the last coach was walking into.

Interesting thing with Voss is he may have been an inexperenced head coach for a few years and yet with that his CV is not long at Teagues.

Not sure what puts him above Teague to be honest.

I wonder who contributed more to the development of Beveridge, Hardwick, Simpson & Cameron.... Clarko, or Chris Fagan in his role as Head of Coaching and Development?

It certainly is an interesting list of assistants at Brisbane.
