BREAKING: David Teague’s uncertain relationships with senior players will be one of the many elements of a review that's expected to see him moved on as coach.
The board will consider the contents of the review Thursday, with Teague’s future already all but decided.
Jon Ralph: "While the review has not officially been tabled, Carlton’s issues are well known inside the club & will see Teague moved on.
While there were early indications he could be informed as soon as Friday, circumstances at the club are expected to delay any announcement."
Jon Ralph: "The tensions of a long year of scrutiny have taken their toll on the coach & the playing group.
Some senior players at Carlton believe their inability to form close relationships with Teague is just one of many factors that have contributed to a below-par year."
Jon Ralph: "Teague was initially seen as a strong relationship builder especially when he replaced sacked coach Brendon Bolton during 2019.
But as the Blues have battled for wins Teague's been increasingly demanding of his players who at times believe he's been overly negative."
Jon Ralph: "Carlton is adamant it has not told Teague about his future & has not yet contacted rival suitors for his role.
While the review will consider positions across the board fitness boss Andrew Russell, on over $400,000 a season, is expected to stay on next season."

He stating the obvious about the Teague and we all know this except Walsh and his Gang of one !!

I've met Clem, and I think he still lives around the corner from me. We've been meaning to catch up. If he talks like that when we catch up, I'm bringing my ipad and have the google page ready to go.

What worries me is every coach we have seems to lose the players. Alot of tail wagging the dog it seems. A real bad culture. Not sure why anyone would want to coach here.

Seems Teague, gaping by this article at least, is quite different privately than publicly. Talks shit to us publicly, but differently behind closed doors.

Wonder if Bolton will warn him what to expect. That might put him right off.

yes, Jim, spot on

i reckon a lot of the younger players will buy into a good strong coach, but i have my doubts over a lot of the older players who seem to have been conditioned to get their way at the expense of the team and are just happy to get a paycheck

The more worrying thing for me is that, if true, it's another sign of how @#$%&! soft our players are.

They seriously think Teague is bad? Clarkson or Lyon will have them in tears.

Agree and about time any player that whom might be conceited and arrogant that can’t see the bigger picture and put his absolute all in for the jumper every game has to be delisted or traded simple.

Teague is a bloody hard task master on training track don't worry about that.

Am not sure where people get Teague doesn't work the players over - if you haven't been there and seen then that's a damn insult.

I feel for Teague. I don’t think he’s been supported by the club. Plus two COVID years. Questions can be raised about recruitment. Questions can be asked about him inheriting his assistant coaches. Questions can be raised about our messiah Football Club director Judd leaving and not being replaced.

I hope that the review clears out a stack of deadwood - not just Teague. If there isn’t a big clean out and shake up it is irrelevant who our next coach is.

Carlton is the place where careers go to die.

Let’s hope the review pulls us back from the brink

What's your solution Jim? Retain Teague? Then what?

I'd start running through the player group. Every coach we have has a player disconnect. Weed our those causing the issue. Otherwise the same issue rears it's head again. Can't coach bad culture. Teqgue actually has done alot better than every coach bar Ratts this century, and there's been big names in that lot.
