There is no reason for Teague to change his ball movement gameplan other than media pressure. Especially mid season. The change in game day mechanics probably cost us two games against Eagles and GWS as players and coaches went in transition mode.
We haven't lost by greater than 31 points against the big teams playing ball movement football and should have beaten a couple of them Bulldogs and Brisbane if Eddie didnt kick 0.4. Considering they were at full strength and we had many players down against these two top four teams makes the mid season change even more amusing. But you just believe what you want and prattle around your narrative in hope you find your next hate filled orgy.
I don't get the reasoning for the opening line Walshy. I don't know you and you don't know me. I don't agree with most of the posters hers on TC, and we have disagreements, so I have no idea where you get the idea we feed off our own narrative. That's not true. We all love Carlton and have different opinions. I get your opinion, but feel its not really representative of Teague's plan or his way. You've taken one part of his game plan and think that's it.
Everyone loves your positive outlook and defense of Teague, but you really don't like anyone having their own opinion or pointing out Teague's shortfalls. You make out he's perfect. Well, let me just say, he's human.
I consider myself a successful person in my own business and as corporate Exec. I've had a hugely fun life. Ive played in Bands, Played for a few footy teams. Owned nightclubs. Seen the World. Plenty of parties, plenty of girls and plenty of mates all around the world. I retired at 55. I'm over 60yo, still don't have grey hair and go hard with FOMO attitude. There's more to my life than Carlton. Its just that I need for Carlton to be successful for my kids to enjoy, like I did growing up, not just because they are my kids,. but I got them into this (mess) Carlton team.

Plus I'm on cloud 9 when they win. I like a buzz.
Like you, I love Carlton. Its my past time. My self made free time. Lockdown is keeping me in Sydney, otherwise I've been emancipated since I finished high school.
I'm just trying to point you to a reasonable middle ground; that's all.
Calm the farm, and lets discuss both sides of the story without the bitterness and malice.
Even Teague will tell you he's tweaking things every week, since round 1.
The effort wasn't there on game day against WCE and GWS. The players were not motivated enough to put their head over the ball and win it: nothing to do with game plan, media or whatever. It was conditional behaviour that leads to a loss. GWS isn't that far ahead of us, but they've enjoyed the biggest win against a Carlton team this year. They shouldn't have.
