The coach is always the public face of football department performance. We've underperformed.
As for the media, we cant control their actions. As another poster correctly said, the media who are slagging the club for treating Teague poorly are there same commentators who created the term "Teagues gift" and consistently highlighted our lack of defensive structure.

The other thought that the club hasn't publicly supported Teague makes little sense to me as well. Cain Liddle stated earlier this year that Teague will be coach next year. Since the review commenced, the club cannot come out and publicly support sections of the football department and not others. All sections of the football department are being scrutinised.
The administration shouldn't intervene or compromise the process.

I’m with Bondi here. We’ve had a very public review of the football department, yet I wouldn’t have a clue what the Head of Football looks or sounds like. I just imagine he’s got a similar head to his mongoloid brother.

This is a bloke that is applying for the Collingwood list manager job - a literal paint-by-numbers type of post. Who the hell thought he was qualified to run the entire football department, let alone one that was rebuilding?

Thanks for all the input from everyone. I know there is a divide amongst all you fine people about what is happening to Teague. Forgive me if this has been covered. I haven't read all the posts. It's very upsetting, this roadshow. If Teague goes or stays, the board should reassess their place. There should be an extraordinary AGM; I don't know if there is petition as such. If someone can direct me to the it, if there is one, I'd be grateful.

Some of my thoughts FWIW:
1. Teague's appointment didn't follow the correct protocols.
2. He's done a fair job since his appointment but it has been below expectations.
3. He may not have been told, leading people to believe that he is gone. I don't think that is necessarily the case. They may be seeing how he goes tonight and then they can get a clearer picture. The football department; however, should have communicated with him as he has pointed out.
4. The review should have begun at the end of the year so that this media circus could have been avoided.
5. He can coach but needs improvement and the proper support.
6. He should have been allowed to bring in his own people when appointed.
7. He has played Sam Petrevski-Seton in the wrong positions and should have been given better opportunities as Eddie Betts pointed out, in the midfield. That also goes with Marc Murphy. He should have been played where he's best suited, which is a midfielder. He's gone now and that's a good thing so it's a moot point but I thought it important to mention.
8. He has been treated poorly which I sort-of covered here. It's not a good look for the club
9. He deserves a another chance. I'm not convinced but we chose him and he probably hasn't been given a proper chance but hat is just my opinion. One more year I think is fair, but again, thais is my own humble opinion.
10. It's a confusing time for everyone and whatever happens, we don't have much control but we can adjust the board situation if the will is there.

I hope this post finds you all well. I personally am struggling with all that's going on. I'd rather not go into the complexity with what's happening in our state and country but I'm not well. I hope things improve for me and for all of us.

Peace to you all and thank you for having me back.

Your views seem a bit harsh. I think anyone would struggle mentally dealing with the public spectre of being sacked for an ongoing period of 2 - 3 months. Particularly during a COVID period with restrictions on soft cap spending and not being able to finish the final year of your contract.

I don’t think he is the right coach but I do feel for Teague. I don’t think the club has done him any favours in helping him to succeed. It will be five coaches in nine years and sums up where this club is at. The rest of the football world just laughs at us.

He's contracted and as I've said before, I'm not against him being retained. But he needs to be better educated strategically and to be willing to accept and instigate that education.
If he's up to it, he'll survive the review and both he and the club will be better for it. It's a tough business and only the strong and persist survive. I have no interest in people looking for public support etc. Excel at your job and you'll endure.

Maybe Teague has saved his job.
That was our best last game loss in many a year

Mid season review possibly caused a second half of season football dept collapse - that's on the board.

No. That's on Sayers. He better make amends.

I think it’s more likely than not he will go, but if the outcome of the review is that we decide to retain Teague for another year (I think he has a year to go on his contract?) - with a new team around him - I will be OK with it. I doubt that will happen though because bringing in a bunch of new assistants when a coach is in the last year of his contract isn’t usually the done thing (ie. if the coach is not extended then another clean out is needed because the new coach will want his own people).

He will make a amends by sacking Teague and saying goodbye to you

Do you finally acknowledge Teague is done !!

Great 5 goals and 4 points run by gws , that was classic Teague for all his supporters to remember him by

Are you staying on after Teague goes ?? That’s the most important question

Most "important" question... I kinda feel honoured.

Why would I miss your salitiness and hysteria when he is retained for 2022?

This forum will be lolz galore

All the noise out of Teague and his camp confirms he’s done
