That is brilliant prose.

Agree with BV re the media -they make it up are insatiable for bad news and spin it anyway they can

I also think circumstances have also dictated the comms approach

The coach is contracted for 2022
The person implemented the review was not the President at the time
The retiring President was keen for a victory lap and to shape legacy
The landscape has changed fundamentally from Clarkson unavailable to available
The issues are deeper than just the senior coach
The review was happening throughout the second half of season

I get the approach hasn’t been PWC handbook in terms of Comms but different than restructure of business as there is much more interest when it is AFL team particularly where it is an AFL giant who have underperformed for 20 odd years .

Clarko's manager has just confirmed Clarko is not coaching in 2022 to spend time with his family.

Really, who cares what the media thinks nor other clubs supporters. They're just angling for headlines. As mentioned, they are the same who cheer on a sacking then cry over the corpse.

I'm satisfied so far with whats happening. I'd rather they take their time and get this right than dance to the tune palyed by a bunch of media hacks.

I say let Teague coach next year. Appointing Lyon or anyone else could enforce the crash and burn culture our club has had with it's coaching apointments in recent history. Appointing Teague could be seen as a step against the philoshpy of a once great club not able to accept the reality of it's current position.

Having said this, I don't think the board will keep Teague and go for a fresh start, but how fresh a start is it?

Your first point may be valid - but without seeing the review in full, it may not be. If the review was damning of him, he shouldn't be retained.

I still think Lyon practically announced he was going to coach Carlton next year last wednesday
He said himself if they could get Clarkson it would be no contest

I think that is exactly what is playing out

If Teague ends up coaching there is going to have to be a lot of kiss and make up go on

I hope it's Lyon. Personally I've been leaning toward him anyway for some reason.

Yes, I wonder how much of the review members will see? Hopefully when staff are retained or let go, we will be told why acccording to the outcome of the review, rather than the club just saying these staff members were good contributors to the cause. But I guess, the board's actions will speak for themselves.

I agree with 79V. You could retain Teague with a clear mandate that it's finals or all over, & that wouldn't be unreasonable at all.

We know he's been a rubbish coach defensively, but that doesn't mean he always will be.

Kiss and make up? If Teague wants to continue coaching, he needs to harden the @#$%&! up. That performance in the after match was behaviour I'd expect from a 10 year old. Not an AFL coach.
The "woe is me" carry on was pathetic. I was in favour of him continuing but he's the one who has to change behaviour. Not to mention getting his manager to do his dirty work against the team leader.
If he's not up to it, piss him off. I'd rather start again with someone who has real leadership skills.

Move on time to clear the decks now and get someone else not sure how Teague can be contemplated after Pickerings outburst

To be honest I was feeling a bit sorry for Teague but the last week or so I don't want him there either - I agree with what you said

Agree totally. Can't see how he stays after those comments.

That pretty well sums up how I feel. Those two efforts against North and GC sealed the deal for me. Proactive and resolute leadership is the key here.

Was always going to be Lyon. Hopefully an announcement is made ASAP.
