I can understand this sentiment - but ..
1. If I was coach - a press conference is not the highest priority on my to-do list.
2. I haven't had time yet to gather all the data from the game, reflect deeply and plan ideas
3. I don't want to say something not supported by the data and look like an idiot
4. I don't need the distraction of being so controversial it diverts attention from what is actually important.
5. I am a footy coach and don't necessarily have the skill set for a spontaneous beautiful and insightful turn of phrase.
6. I have already commented on the general team's performance at 17 other press conferences, not to mention countless interviews, conversations with smaller groups etc.


I think I am going to say broadly defensible obvious phrases....

Don't mind that Arny......................dont give a shit what coaches say actually..............its what the side does.Win s and losses are what speak............................actually i did like Ross Lyon's press conferences i must say.Acted real serious but was actually putting shit on the journos in a clever subtle way.Ross really made me laugh.

He needs a clean sweep of assistance. Stanton, Barker and Bruce need to go.

Teage needs an experienced senior assistant in the box with him that is not John Barker
We saw what happened with Bolton when Neil Craig left

Why Stanton?

He is the connections coach between midfield and forwards. Need I say more?

teague and coaches biggest failure for the year was not crows game but the collingwood match.The team had extra days off/ more time to prepare and ferals had 4 stars missing and in the words of DT we didn't get the job done . For me he needs changes to the coaching panel someone from coll,rich,wce ,i suggested hickmott months ago ?

He is the connections coach between midfield and forwards. Need I say more?

Connections coach wtf
Do the coaches talk between each other or just make their own shit up and just confuse everyone.
Too many bloody coaches.

Kind of agree, but as the say these days, one coach can’t do it all.
Teague would give these guys a fair amount of responsibility to implement plans, as well as their ideas.
The job of Bruce would be to get the forward setups right and make sure the forwards are working together, they defend well, they lead well, etc. The job of Stanton would be to make sure our midfielders know what our forwards are doing and work with them to deliver to these setups and plans.
My conclusion.....they can both F off.

:thumbsup: I'm sure they are trying, and there may be other things hindering proress with connection we dont know about.

Hey you prompted good discussion, as usual surrey

One of the issues with COVID, not being able to train with more than 8 at a time.
The issue is ongoing, a disconnect between our mids and forwards, something Teague talks about a lot. Training with just 8 at a time didn't allow us to work on that at all, especially with fewer sessions. Certainly favoured sides with well-entrenched, instinctive game styles.

Another thing that didn't help was, to the end of the GWS game,
the 7 previous 2nd halfs had produced a score of 13.42!
Kicking straight would've helped that goals from inside 50 percentage.
