Tom Morris?
There's a few journo's around that I'd listen to. Tom isn't close to making the list.

It was mentioned in the presser players weren't happy with the decision.

Smashing playing group morale is just really smart business.

It's not the players fault - it's the board we are a revolving door of CEO's, List Managers, Head Coaches, Players you name it.

It's the culture that stinks and there is no stability.

However you want to look at it, it's been a big day. There are some strong opinions about this and I understand people's frustration. I thought Teague, through all this process, would have been kept on. But I was wrong. Having said that, the changes in the board and the football department is encouraging. I see the split on the assessment of our list. My respectful opinion is that I think we're better than where we finished. I think SPS wasn't given the right opportunity. A much better player when he is in the midfield. Eddie Betts went into bat for him as that is my understanding and Eddie seems to have a good rapport with David Teague. There may be a couple of other guys who were mismanaged but I'm not sure.

As much as it looks a poor look getting rid of another coach, what has happened alongside is the difference here, with assistant coaches and board members going as well. I don't think this decision was taken lightly and was said with a heavy heart. David Teague is a quality person and the club knew that. I think the process to employ him was flawed and that has bitten back at the club hard.

Perhaps watch this space as to more departures.

I have a feeling that even though I wasn't into Teague going that this process will serve us a well. Sometimes you have to go through a healing crisis before you get well. I think this is our healing crisis.

Everyone have a great night.

So Jacob Weitering enjoys the Teague game plan that results in the ball hitting the backline every three seconds and giving the defenders next to no time to set up?

Right.

And the players thought he was going to keep his job?

Spare me.

Even Teague knew he was gone.

Obviously there’s a fair bit of bullshit in this article but regardless, if any of it has an inkling of truth I really couldn’t give a flying @#$%&! what the players think.

Not their job.

Anyone wants to take their ball and go home because they want daddy back can @#$%&! right off.

Morris is a muckraker.

Piss off idiot.

The players will get over it.

The result was a new three-man leadership group, with Trent Cotchin chosen as captain for a fifth season beside Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt.

“The players need to be in the right mental state to make good decisions during times of high stress under physical fatigue.”

We say: A huge growth area at Tigerland, with the players and coaches buying into the vision.

The Tigers’ HHH — hardship, highlight, hero — sessions, saw players, coaches and staff pour their hearts out to each other to build deeper connections.

The Tigers didn’t have the most talented list in the competition, but they would prove to be the best team. This was a major reason why.

“THE job of elite sporting environments is to select good people and then make them the best they can be,” Mitchell said.

“Player potential and athlete improvement should be tracked and analysed. The development process is taking them on that path, teaching them, and you need metrics around what their development has been.”

The players will get over it.

I guess you missed the part with the focus being on High Performance going forward.

We move forwarrd with an improved model.

The deficiencies have been highlighted...all 24 of them.

The steelyness of Sayers has everyone in management on their toes.

I feel Liddle and Lloyd know they've been given a chance to implement change to get this Footy Dept to the highest standard in the AFL.

Lloyd must go. Might not happen until Lyon is made coach. Though I suspect Lloyd will step down soon.

Interesting snipet from the Age

Amid widespread criticism about their handling of Teague and the review process, Sayers said that it had been Teague’s preference not to bring his future to a head until the end of the season.

So is it safe to say all the rabid Media speculation was bought on by DT himself, wanting to see out the Season.

Kinda changes the entire landscape of the past few weeks.

Good find, thank you.

Reckon we have the most work to do in section 5 of that plan.

I disagree Cazzeman
Our recruiting is the problem more so than coaching
We have so many overrated players on our list a couple of stars and not a lot of depth in the midfield
Clearly the board thinks otherwise
Nothing has changed for me other than Sayers is a better speaker than the Blues Brother

Absolutely we want that answer
Based on the sample set it doesn’t look good
Kennedy has come on
The rest except for snippets from Dow have been huge disappointments
So is it the players DNA or the coach
The board whoever is on it think it’s the coach and the footy department that deals with players development
Not who recruited them in the first place
This is the boards view time and time again

The path the board is taking is assuming that we are actually on the right path other than the senior
Coach and an assistant
Two of the boards changes were forced Jeanne has had enough and the bloke who left has been involved in developing the facilities
His job is done
It’s the same old same old
Essendon** were forced to go to a younger team
That’s one of the reasons they have improved
They have got their drafting right

Teague had his flaws and I certainly agree defensively he was poor but the bottom line to me is our list is thin with some stars at the top
If Walsh or Weitering sustain injuries next year the new coach will really struggle
Ad nauseam we will find out

So Jacob Weitering enjoys the Teague game plan that results in the ball hitting the backline every three seconds and giving the defenders next to no time to set up?
