So he has a team that's capable of running rings around the Lions and they're second last?
It works both ways, doesn't it?

So your telling me you had the Hawks finishing in the 8 ????
I had them bottom 4 BUT he still manages to knock off a top 6 team.
How's our master coach gone against any top 6 team???
How's our master coach gone this season when most predicted we'd improve and at least be playing finals.

“I hope he is not lost to footy. He is a brilliant coach and his team played for him today.

Fagan said after his 5th placed Lions went down the 17th placed Hawks:



I wish Players played for Teague every week. They seemed to do so last week, or were embarrassed by their publicly exposed individual and team performances for the umteenth time this year.

Attitude and talent are the determining factor in most results as far as I'm concerned.

This question may read as snarky but I mean it genuinely; how does a team attain a consistent, competitive, hardworking attitude if not through competent and compatible off-field staff?

How was Hawthorn's culture prior to Clarkson???
How was Richmond's culture prior to Hardwick????
CULTURE is setup and is keeped Accountable by the head COACH.

David Teague has had numerous chances in 2 years to change our CULTURE but is too nice and very friendly coz that's the culture Teague has stamped on this footy club.
He's had 2 years to fix these 5 goal run ons.
He's had 2 years to fix this deplorable defensive structure.
Players laughing after they've had 4, 5 ,6 goals kicked on them.
Senior players recalled after long lay off's with no form or fitness.
Talented kids working there arse off into form yet overlooked time and time again.
Playing SENIOR players injured ahead of fully fit kids.

Ask yourself would Ckarkson accept what happened during our rd2 game ????
Do you think Clarkson would accept what happened today coz I can put my house on the fact that not 1 senior player will be dropped but I bet they'll hang Williamson, Cottrell, Owies or probably SPS

Hawks were rubbish for clarkos first 2 years, and had a lot more heavy losses than we’ve experienced under Teague.

I don’t think Teague is the messiah but I don’t think Clarko or any coach is. Regardless of which, it takes time.

Haven't read most of the posts, sorry. Just want to express my fear that, regardless of the occasional genius effort here and there while his tenure peters out, and even if he's one of the greatest coaches of all time, he would be yet another great coach brought to Carlton too late in his career on big coin and acrimoniously leaving an ever drifting club with a bag of cash we need directed elsewhere. Just like all great players, all great coaches fade. It is entirely possible that he is well past the prime that we would be supposedly be recruiting him for. Teague might not be the answer, but if he really has to go, which I'm not entirely convinced of yet (but pretty bloody close), is our club still entirely incapable of identifying emerging talent? Is there no one else out there a little fresher and up for it, as Clarko, Malthouse and Pagan once were? Buyer beware.

And that's not even taking into consideration my dislike for the sniping, whining hypocrite, whose history I would conveniently forget once he walks through the door, and remember again once he's shown it.

I think part of the key to not falling for the same mistake we made with Pagan and Malthouse, is ensuring if we do interview Clarkson he does a full presentation. We need to go through the process irrespective of who we re interviewing.

I think the other thing you need to bear in mind is Pagan inherited the worst list at a time when we lost our early picks for two years, and Mick didn't exactly inherit a premiership quality list albeit it was better.

Clarkson, if he comes to Carlton, will inherit a fine list. Already we have potentially 3 AAs on the list, and a fit Cripps and Curnow in 2022 just adds to the elite talent on the list.

This parasite so much as puts his indicator on down Royal Parade I'm getting the scissors and my membership card out.
