I think that it's pretty clear that there is a very shallow pool of quality assistant coaches out there

Anyone have any idea roughly what coin Teaguey would now be on?

Really?
Seems hard to believe.

I think I tend to agree with DOC - the board really wasted a chance to interview more people and learn a thing or two.
Even if they knew they were likely to go with Teague all along, I'm sure there would still be some quality assistants who would back themselves to have a go at interviewing ... the Board had nothing to lose really.

Anyway -
The more I think about Teague's experience, the more I Like it:
- Bullants (successful at managing his own team)
- West Coast (experience in an elite footy organisation with $$)
- Adelaide (experience in a team that built itself up)
- St Kilda (experience doing it tough in an underperforming club)

He basically ticks all the boxes you would want from an Assistant's resume.

Now we just trust him and go for the ride
Hopefully he doesnt say "we are on a journey"

Disturbing how few of our blokes I recognised in street clothes. Maybe I'm just super old.

For the last two months the Club has conducted an extensive and thorough process in order to secure a senior coach who was going to be able to hit the ground running and take our football club forward as we look towards to a sustained era of success.
