Teague quoted in the Herald Sun:
“To perform at your best you need a psychologically-safe environment, and right now for us that’s a challenge for us with everything going on. “I really commend all the players and staff (for) the way they keep fronting up and bringing great effort and trying their best in an environment which is a bit challenging.”
Can you believe this bloke? He commends the players for the way they've been fronting up? Bringing great effort? Trying their best????? How's the @#$%&! audacity of the man! I'm sorry David, but this is the kind of Mr nice guy acceptance of bullshit low standards that is going to get you fired. This is the AFL. It's a brutal cut throat game. You do not commend your players for "fronting up". You do not get a pat on the back for "trying your best". The level of effort has been completely unacceptable. You need to be calling out the lack of effort and poor performance. By speaking like this you are accepting pathetic standards and enabling it to continue.
This guy is completely delusional, he sounds like a under 12 coach , and just telling them to go out and give it your best !! So he supposedly has the great worsfold as a mentor and that’s the best Teague can come up with ,
No wonder there is no accountability , selection integrity or game plan !!
I'm glad Murphy is playing his last game tomorrow so I don't have to hear you going off about something we can't control and inevitable.
But, I love reading posts like this because you really do represent the view of one of 3 factions, and I do take it onboard.
Get rid of Teague and replace with a fresh coach with new ideas faction
Get rid of Teague and replace with an experienced coach faction
Keep Teague and let him see out his contract faction
I don't know faction.
My post above sublimally points out Teague needs support and the bottom line is the club has some deep seated underlying cultural issues they must resolve before the bone is pointed elsewhere.
Following the game against GCS I was a bit like you, but not as eloquent.
This week I've spoken with a lot of football people, smart people, successful AFL people about the Carlton situation.
I'm in the I honestly don't know anymore faction.
I'm saddened by what Walshy rightly calls it the Carlton Circus.
We are a big club, so the noise is big, the audience is big, the clicks are big, hence the sensationalist language and reporting.
Don't know what to believe anymore, except not believe anything from News Ltd channels of footy info.
First of all Murphy who ??
And my only response to all this , is when I have commented I have given examples of issues with Teague and his coaching style , and media performances !! The club do have have blood on their hands how they appointed Teague for a list that needed structure , game plan immediately especially after the malt house and Bolton years , and there isnt much I agree with judd about especially after quitting at the start of the year
But this list didn’t need a training wheels coach , but Liddle and his Merryman were only looking at the bottom of profit and loss Statement and knew they could get Teague on the cheap Because of a couple of false wins
But let’s see the difference of the Teague evolution from his first game as coach to now !!
Lions first game score 42 to 1 (crippa has a blinder to get us over the line ) and we all starved of success we take this as the beginning of something special
Fast forward 2 years
We play Gold Coast last week who come off 100 point thrashing , they chip there way to 123 uncontested possessions and 5 goals straight in the 3rd into the 4th qtr with no effort from us
This isn’t media reporting , this evidence we have continually seen from this inept coach
Do you think you can trust him with this list anymore or for another 3 years ?? As you know they would have to extend him out this year if by
Some miracle he survived this , they wouldn’t let him coach out next year on a one year contract
The best example of this is Heath buck and my blue heaven channel
Watch his review of rd 1 before the tigers game and his enthusiasm and excitement about the season ahead and then listen to him after the gc game , he was a shattered man and how he feels about this great club right now , sums up how a lot of people feel about this club ,
Teague is one one many that should be shown the door hence why we will know immediately what kind of president this sayers is going to be and let’s see how much he loves this club
For all our differences in opinions let’s all hope he loves the club with the same passion we all do …
Now I'm on the Sack Teague faction. Good points.
I didn't consider the circus that will follow Teague with only 1 year left on his contract...and no, I don't want Teague given an extension based on the body of work thus far.
