Chris Fagan has had four pre seasons with the Lions with great recuiting in Cameron and Neal that have changed the face of the club and Flag favs.

We need a big trading period and Teagues 2nd pre season should start bearing fruit in fact I see that it already is - just need some minor tweaks and couple of top liners

I don't understand why the coach isn't getting more criticism. His win and loss ratio hasn't got better since 2019, and to my eye he only has one gear. If we don't score quickly we look almost incapable of scoring. There's no Plan B. He's all one way traffic, down the slopes. Bit like the Crows when he was overseeing their forward line.


Your missing the point
If you want to pinpoint one thing it’s the quality and depth of our midfield
Teague does need to experiment in this area
Definitely play Pittonet and DeKoning in tandem
Play more youngsters

Has had a year in the job
Now is the time to try things
Having Curnow Kennedy Setterfield Murphy in the middle isn’t going to work long term
Not enough toughness strength willingness to take game on intensity etc

So you try different personal
What do we need in 2021 and beyond
The midfield is the key area until they change the rules that stops 36 Blokes in a confined Space


I'm not missing the point at all.
I've raised multiple issues in a few posts.
Midfield is a major problem, that's a no brainer.

Yes, there's still times we're dominated and broken apart as a team. It's been like that for 20 yrs.

There'll come a time when a Carlton team once again refuses to be dominated and plays with authority.

Recruiting and list management has been the biggest problem
More than the coaching in most cases.

Teague needs to try different players through the midfield

No team fears us no team respects us, if they did then 5 goals up in the first quarter would translate into a ten goal plus win.

Agree with you Walsh that Teague needs time to make his mark and to recruit mature reliable talent.

However, the Brisbane analogy leaves out one key detail: the recruitment of Luke Hodge. Along with Fagan he turned around the basket case culture they had prior. He’s a coach out on the field. He knows what’s required to win flags and he made that known to the young list they have. When momentum shifted against them in games, he could say this is how we counter it and weather the storm. He’s got premiership clout. That’s who they had developing their young talent.

What do we have? Simmo and Murph are fantastic servants of the club. Some of the guys we played next to them in their prime was downright negligent. Regardless, what do they know about playing in a premiership calibre side? What do they know about how you train, prepare and play to be a consistent contending side? Again, I reiterate, fantastic servants of the club but they haven’t won anything so they can’t possibly know what it takes to succeed. Cripps and Doc tried their arses off as captains yesterday but how many finals have they played between them? These are the guys in charge of developing our youngsters - the guys we’ve invested so many high picks into.

We’re mired in this rut of the losing mentality that has plagued this club for 20 years. We need to find some genuine leadership as a player or coach. Saints got Roughead as a dev coach last year. We need to do something like this. Find a way to get a Selwood when he retires. Someone who knows what it takes and can break the loser mentality that has plagued this club and continues to do so.

Can someone please send this to the club!

100% spot on David31 re Hodge , and now they have replaced him with Birchill . More grand final winning experience.

Out coached by 10 goals in about 3 shortened quarters of footy. We got got to pieces.
Totally agree, it was unacceptable.

But I don't think a 10 game ish coach getting out done by arguably the greatest coach of the last 30 years is headline news.

Teague appears, from the cheap seats, to back his players in almost to a fault. Don't change things, let them work their way through it. Hasn't served us well when teams have got on top of us.

Need to find different styles for different times. I would like to think Bolton's endless negativity would have helped us have that style when needed... but we were shit at it.


So true! Agree with all of that.

I was under the impression we already went down this road with Judd. Didn’t he bring that grand final winning experience, mentality, culture, training, etc. and passed it on to the previous high draft picks.......sounds like either more excuses or history repeating.
Either way, doesn’t sound or look good.

Agree Cranium embarrassing and continue to lose to Hawthorn when we have opportunity to win

Most disappointed I have been all year
Horrendous game only Weitering was ok
Mentally fragile and everyone knew when Hawthorn kicked the last 2 goals of the first quarter we were going to have a holiday
Second quarter was worst quarter this year
How can you beat Geelong and Essendon****** and be 5 goals up on Hawthorn and lose

Diabolical and let everyone down


They need to front the media and explain themselves for the last 3 quarters.


Maybe they just subconsciously checked out for the bye at qtr time ...?



Hawthorn consciously checked in at 1/4 time and knew we’d fold like a pack of cards, if they applied the torch, we obliged.


And this is our problem. But how do we change this feeble mentality ? We can't sack half the list. The 'play to your strength' approach of Teague has failed in the main. So where to now ? It has to be get a great coach like Clarko ?


Well it hasn’t, we went 4-39 under bolts and now 10-10 under Teague.

Thought of another Pro:
Moore was better this week.

The only reason I can see them playing Moore instead of TDK is to see what he offers before list management at the end of the year.

I would actually agree with that. I mean, double nothing is nothing but the second nothing showed ... something.

Bloody disgraceful.
From late in the first quarter when the Hawks started to apply pressure we crumbled.
Our midfield was absolutely smashed, Cripps the only one who can hold his head up.
Honestly some players were barely sighted.
Getting pretty sick of this.

Unfortunately Cripps response to the mediocrity around him was to try to do too much himself, rather than trusting others, and he made things much worse when we were still in touch.


You have a nice way accounting for Crippa howlers. He makes his own bed and should own the multitude of mistakes he makes by hand and foot. He makes decisions on his own and misses better options.

He should stick to what he is known for: contested disposals. We got smashed on the inside after quarter time.

I remember the one criticism Judd copped later in his career: kicking for goal. Crippa doesn't come near Judd imo.

Whilst Cripps can accumulate disposals he needs a lot of work to improve on the skill of kicking and handball.
in.

Crippa's year has been average thus far imo. A great effort quarter here and there is not enough for a captain.

His job is to bring in players not trying to be Messi. Everyone has a role.


Yet we won the stoppage clearances easily! Did we?

I think there are a lot of factors - including many listed on this site as to why we lost. Its never just one thing. I think we were out coached but I do not think that is because Teague is not the right coach and he has no plan B. Sometimes limitations in players both physical and mental reduce options. I am sure Levi is playing hindered at the moment - best guess is his knee which is restricting his ability to roam around the ground hence why he is playing deep forward. This means Harry has to play up the ground more and reduces our ability to be unpredictable. I think some selections are clearly not working as well as expected which then puts added pressure on the rest of the players. One link not performing their role (and by that I mean winning their role) breaks down the whole game plan and clearly the on field leaders could not get everyone to adjust as we would expect. Then players try to do more than they should (ie Cripps) which only adds to the disorganisation within the team. You can't blame Cunningham for no impact if his role is a quick leading target from the pocket but the ball never gets up there or when it does it is delivered poorly. The big question is will changes impact the sides confidence more than running with the same team that may be scarred by that poor performance; or will a want to redeem themselves prevail.


I agree there's alot of reasons for the loss, not just one.

We smashed them in contested possessions the first quarter. I think we were up 11. Lost in the end by 20. We got smashed in the 3 quarters after the first.
Some of our contested possessions in the last 3 quarters were not worth counting as they were dinky little handballs to no one and sharked by Hawks.

We gave up Kennedy to get Judd.They gave up zilch to get Hodge............reckon things would have turned out differently if we had retained Kennedy.
