It’s a lock , he is done this year , so we don’t need to analyse soft cap or no soft cap

His exhausting tones at press conferences leading up to games and after games is the most annoying thing I Have heard from
A coach !!

So does he still believe I this group and what they are trying to achieve?? Fkn hilarious

You're right.
I have often thought the same thing.
Whenever the camera has shown him he is usually sitting there with a blank look on his face.

This was the Coach Killer game

Although has been a dead man walking for a while

Still won’t fix this pervasive losing culture that has destroyed our club

It’s a stink that has lingered for too long now

Way too long and clean sweep needs to happen

And that includes the Board down ...

It won’t happen , so they will sack the coach (justified) but hold no one else accountable

Looking at it logically I would be surprised if Teague was replaced. Like a player he is learning on the job. I have said it before, take Hardwick as an example. Yes, I do get bloody frustrated as well seeing the obvious flaws in our game plan.

Today player availability did not help him. We have 4 players who can play KPF and none were available. McKay, McGovern, Curnow, and McDonald. We have 3 rucks and 1 was available in TDK. Williams went down on or about half time and was replaced by ex-champion Murphy. etc, etc.

Is it the coach, his assistants, do we need to look further, that is what the review should be examining. It should not have had any Carlton people on it except maybe as liaison.

The issue is why should we be forced into accepting a coach with training wheels? learning on the Job after over 2 decades of miserable performances and ridicule? , because he’s liked by the players and he’s a nice guy & past player ? especially when there’s a plethora of talented & experienced coaches available and to choose from.
If we have another humiliating season in 2022 with Teague at the helm of coaching, it’s a glaring dereliction once again.

Hardwick was a tough player who won 2 premiership as a player sorry bad comparison.but good try

Since last mid season break in 2020 who have we beaten ?? Answer no one !!

How many times have we failed ?

Let’s see that’s very easy

Crows last year
Pies earlier this year and last year
Wc this year and last year
Gws this year and last year
Port this year
North this year after they lost by 25 goals 10 weeks ago and only beat them by a goal last year
We can only beat freo and gc consistently and no one else

Teague complete bust ... and out of his depth

Just listen to his press conference tonight it was as bad as ever and he even said that Murphy isn’t able to play a full game but was still picked as medical sub , what message are you sending to the playing group as whole including the young players who want to prove themselves

our game plan is totally stuffed ,i have been saying it all year,we go the long bomb into F50 the opposition spoils and then with quick ball movement they walk into easy goals . How many times have we watched Richmond Rd1 do this ,swans ,saints all quick ball movement from there defence to there open space forward line for goals.we are so predictable and David Teague and Co have not changed a think in 2 yrs we play the same system that has failed the club,thats why i think his in big trouble.

Nice post.

I'm on the fence determining the outcome of the Review and Teague's future. Who knows how this will pan out.

Apart from missing No. 1 Ruck and 2 KPF's, from what I saw yesterday and the last 2 years is we still have a need for speed across the ground. Saad and Williams may well give us that and I believe those 2 will feature in our next flag (regardless who the coach is, they are in), but we need speed of mind and legs. Players like Philp and Cuningham, are players who can create the much needed spread to create options further up the ground, closing speed and tackling.

If Marchbank was available, he is our bonafide intercept mark, similar size and type to Dees Lever, then Jones and Weitering can stick close to their dangerous opponents. Plowman, who has good game sense, could then be released to play a more running role as a HBF and Saad and williams the speed to get out.

Its a combination of injuries, motivation and game plan which are the obvious issues: the latter 2 are the Head Coach's responsibility.

I just want to finish off the year with players getting back on the park, in readiness for a big preseason, and some good wins, to keep Carlton attractive for the Trade season.

I have no doubt that Austin has targeted players for needs and would have started conversation and negotiation with some managers, and my gut feeling is that Lyon will replace Teague, and take control of the playing group's hearts and minds in the preseason, and do a better job than Teague with the list.

Injuries have cruelled Teague just as they did for Wayne Brittain in 2002. Someone pointed a stick at us this year.

He conceded in his presser that Murphy wasn't able to play a full game and would only be able to play limited minutes.
WTF ???
Imagine being Honey, Ransey, Kemp or even LOB hearing that while your fully fit and in some form playing full games at the lower level.
This just makes a mockery of what David has been saying ALL YEAR !!!!
He has every week mentioned how players need to earn there games and be in form, fit and ready to play.
So Murphy hasn't played for a month then he acknowledges that Murphy isn't fit enough but they make him sub.
This is the CULTURE that David built.
A CULTURE of no selection integrity
A CULTURE of no accountability on senior players.
A CULTURE of rewarding weak on field efforts
A CULTURE of being nice footballers
A CULTURE of gifting games to players
A CULTURE of no defensive structure
A CULTURE of rolling over when teams come at us
A CULTURE of playing injured senior players ahead of fully fit kids
A CULTURE of NOT rewarding kids with form at lower levels
A CULTURE of compromised team selection
A CULTURE of selfishness

We are a weak , selfish , unaccountable, compromised, nice football club.

This is the club David has built so far.

Brilliantly summed up !!

I’m so shattered this morning...

Spot on Deano. Totally agree with everything.

Hmm, I spoke with a Carlton legend the morning after the GWS debacle. Basically along the lines of where to from here. First thing he mentioned was ''Selection Integrity'' Actually it was @#%^& Selection Integrity.
You're in good company Deano.

Agree with Deano35
I'm not shattered...we have reached a point where the wound needs to be well and truly opened up...a win yesterday may have just required a bandaid, with infection and pus still inside
I'm plagiarising this comment; don't remember who but they said something like, "I don't care how many coaches we have to go through until we get the right one"...just want the "right one" to be our next of course

It's usually the key reason for a toxic culture in a sporting organisation...who's on the outer, who's a favourite, who's assessed easily, who's assessed harshly...it goes to the core of human emotion and feelings!!!!!!

This goes beyond being a David issue

Rotten cultural issues is a board issue

Normally ends up with poor appointments, selection integrity issues, poor attitudes, lack of standards, poor messaging etc etc

Teague should be replaced as soon as practically possible. Carlton under Teague have no idea how to defend. He's had ample time to stop the bleeding. Time to move on.
