In all due respect to Fox footy, they are analysts and as such show graphics that suit the point they are wanting to make and even premiership teams will be poor in some metric which could be highlighted. They provide no insight into future trends of the game, nor do they accept that there are different styles that can be successful, analysts always compare teams to last years premiers and were critical to Richmonds game style before they were premiers ( Grigg in ruck, only 1 KPF etc)
To say that Teague has had 3 years or even being cute to say that he is in his 3rd year is unfair and untrue after all he still has a year and half left of his 3 YEAR contract...
Foxfooty showed a graphic from Champion data.
I'm not sure if you understand how it works but the
data reflects the reality. It's not something some flower dreams up. It's data the clubs request and use to analyse the opposition.
Secondly, it's you who is trying to be "cute" with the dates. Under any assessment, David Teagues coaching record starts 8/6/19. To suggest he is in his third year isn't unfair, it's a @#$%&! fact.
Sorry if I offended you, but the reference to being cute is by saying he's on his third year sounds as if he has had 3 years when he has just completed 2 years and effectively no preseasons to refine his game plan .
I understand the champion data and never questioned its validity. I was just stating that the particular metric is just one data point and whether or not that particular metric is a focus for our game plan. You can't be prioritise every metric.
It's clear that we are trying to play a different style to Richmond, which all media commentators measure teams against. I for one appreciate that we are not trying to replicate the Richmond style as the biggest weakness we have on our list is small forwards and pressure players.
No one is arguing that our defence is up to standard, but Teague has said that he is trying to make the ground bigger and this is a tactic that will suit a tall mobile forward line, however he has never had that forward line at his disposal. Charlie, Harry and Gov has played no games together in Teague's time.
Regardless of all that, my main point that is constantly overlooked is that as a new coach, no other coach has had more obstacles in performing their role than Teague and therefor the pressure and judgement of him is premature and unjust.
Geez some people round here are soft.
Hopefully a call is made to move Teague on soon.
Brad Lloyd must also go.
