I dont normally have rumours or am not in the know. But I got told something that sounds legitimate from someone in the corporate world with ties to Carlton. Apparently Brad Lloyd offered Ross Lyon the coaching job at Carlton. Ross Lyon said before he makes a decision, he wants Matthew Pavlich on the review panel. He wanted Matthew Pavlich to find out answers to his questions. ie Player contract details, what players are thinking etc. Pavlich and him are really close. Teague apparently found out during the bye round and effectively resigned. They had to rally to get him to stay but he is not happy as he knows this is not his team anymore. Ross Lyon has not agreed or declined as of yet, but is making a decision based on what he finds out. Dont know how true this is, but its what I heard.

Involved in Adelaide review with Dunstall

I thought Lloyd & Lyon didn't get along?

This is making sense by the day , the passion and frustration Ross Lyon showed on Wednesday night on footy classified , showed more passion that Teague has shown at all

The Teague train is over , what a abysmal reign it was , we haven’t beaten anyone under his reign other that Geelong once and Cripps having a blinder on Teagues first game against the lions

If Brad Lloyd has done that, he should resign instanter.

They at least won some flags. Us we are quagmired in reality.

I watched a bit of the Collingwood/Freo game this morning. Watch that game and then put it on half speed. Half speed will give you indication of how we defend compared to Freo. They have system, tactics and buy in that we as supporters can only dream of. If we don't get our act together ASAP, they'll take us apart next week.

They also have contemporary strategies that we lack which reflects badly on our coaching group. They're organised around the stoppages, their players aren't all drawn into contests consistently like ours are and they don't allow the opposition basic liberties that we do but 17 other teams deny as a standard measure. Things like allowing Lachie Whitfield to sit off the back of stoppages and have a field day getting the ball fed out the back to him. They're basics that aren't afforded players in suburban footy let alone elite levels.

We have a lot of work to do in a short time.
