Yeah I agree, Teague has got a better team in potential growth too. He has also put a lot more senior talent into heavy load positions to get these results.
Interesting to see Thomas's result of 7-1 in his caretaker role and then he got them up there for a few seasons but still with no chocolates in the end. Something we can't afford to do. We gotta beat those cheats to the next one while the kids are still in their prime.

I'm on the Teague train, having initially been reluctant.

To be honest, it's my lack of faith in the selection panel/board to make the right decision that has seen my support for Teague grow.

I definitely share the concerns that we might only be seeing a short-term improvement under Teague and I am not certain about his long term philosophy or what we should expect from him if given a 2–3 year contract.

I do take comfort from the fact that Teague has a lot of experience at a number of clubs. I am slightly surprised at the momentum behind him now and wonder if it's a sign of the times with media hype egging the fans on etc, but aside from all of that…

If not Teague, who?

I'm not foolish enough to think there's nobody better out there waiting to be discovered, but I am battle-scarred enough that I don't have the confidence in our decision makers to find anyone better.

So #Teague2020 it is … toot, toot!

Thanks Buzzaaahhhhh!!

Teague it is then.

I see more similarity with Roos than any of the other caretaker coaches.

Gosh I remember the primus train too.....that didn't end well...shouldve made changes to the list.

Teague is going to add to an already very impressive list albeit young.

Be more worth a read I reckon.

I might write one saying that no coach with three or more premierships has ever won a flag at their new club. (Might have been handy to know before we appointed Madhouse).

Ed and Murphy. 2 is 'a lot more'?

Wait until after round 23. There's no hurry.
He isn't going anywhere and we'll have a better indication after the next few games.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

I think as time goes on it's starting to like a possible Teague/Roos as mentor gig or Clarkson (if he leaves).
Ratten hasn't set the world on fire yet with the Saints, although you could take that with a pinch of salt too. It's pretty hard to spit polish a turd, as the saying goes.
There are no more senior coaches that are really putting their hand up as possible suitors, that we know of.
And of the newbies that are already assistants, the only ones I'd be looking at would be Caracella, Mitchell or Burns. But do we want to go down that path at this point in time in our development.

Ed, Murphy and Gibbons rotating into the middle.
Deluca and Lang at half forward.
Even Casboult at half forward or when he was playing in the backline (even though we really had no choice because of injury).

All the senior players have stood up and is why we have been getting results. Bigger bodies competing with bigger bodies, who'd have thought.

Agree and they will

Yep. And this week could also be the final audition for Teague, considering the team similarities from the round 1 game (leaning more in our favour this time of course).
Round 1 loss was 33pts.
Knocking off these smug so and so's would give me great joy, especially if they drop out of top 4 contention because of us.

If that standing ovation Teague got at the 1979 reunion today is anything to go by - He is a shoe in

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Yes. Syd. I heard that too.
Fantastic Teague Train momentum.
This is unprecendented for our club. I love it.

I must say I'm over all the talk about our next coach, it's all over the radio, footy shows and obviously on the footy forums. My stance hasn't changed, go through a process and wait till the season is over. Teague has been very good but let's wait to see what happens over the next three weeks.

I'm sure the same people screaming for his appointment will turn just as quick if we we perform terribly for the next three weeks which includes losing to the Saints again.

We will be in a better position in three weeks as BV stated above. Patience people.

The club thinks Clarkson is still a chance.

Teague will be appointed if Clarkson isn’t available.

Can't see Cripps, Gow and Walsh being taught to snipe behind play.

They'll learn. Especially if we make a grand final or 4.

I think the Katandra Kid would be a good appointment. But what should not be forgotten is historically Carlton has always been a hardarse club. By that I mean popularity and sentiment hasn't been enough to stop them from moving coaches out.

Club legend Ken Hands was punted to bring in Ron Barassi.
Ian Thorogood also punted after missing a GF by 1point.
A possibly unstable Ian Stewart lasted 8 games...out.
Percy Jones' side finished on top, but out in straight sets in the finals...out.
Even David Parkin after 2 flags in 5 years....out.
Robert Walls 2 years after a flag.......out.

I hope Teague gets the gig, but what I hope for means Jack to the powerbrokers at PP.
They will do what they have always done. Where are we at then? Dunno !
I just don't think Teague is a lock.........yet.
