Re: Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 23: Carlton vs GWS Reply #45 – August 22, 2021, 03:45:07 pm Quote from: northernblue on August 22, 2021, 12:54:18 pmThe prospect of Teague coaching the final year of his contract next makes me feel ill.If he is retained beyond Monday he must get a contract extension !!!Can you imagine the past 4 weeks running all through the preseason and then the home and away ??Spot on....with only 12 months it will be the Clarko shadow over DT's head all season and he will be on notice every week.If we start off with our usual loss to Richmond , he will be behind the 8 ball all season with rumors and innuendo about Clarko.Extend by 2 more years to make it three is the only way he has a fighting chance....if not then just give Lyon the job now and let DT get on with his life and he might get to keep his hair and stop it going grey like it is now.. 2 Likes

The dollar people always want to live to earn another dollar another day!In retrospect, I think Teague long term looks to be an even better coaching option than Ratten, which means if he wants to stick with AFL coaching he'll have serious options available to him by the time our replacement in Lyon or Clarkson are looking for their big super payout!

Are we better than this time last year? No. We gave Eddie a nice farewell story and carried Murphy to 300 who seemed less than impressed with how it went down. Did it help Carlton? No.SPS, Dow and O'Brien are supposed to be the future and we just completely wasted a year of development.

We drafted him and he deserved a season to prove his worth. Especially as we were never really in contention.

We should have done a lot of things, but I no longer believe in the idea that a coach can be a change agent, either as a leader of change, or on their own. You plug a good coach into a good culture, and they contribute and improve that culture, which constitutes a type of change, but the sort of change people seem to expect from a coach is a saviour, rescuing a club, and turning bad culture to good. I simply no longer believe that is possible, and certainly not at Carlton. You just can't turn the tide when you have a hopeless Board and their associated hangers-on against you. Every coach from Brittain to Teague has been treated badly. They can't rescue a club, despite what some supporters will believe. 2 Likes

No.SPS, Dow and O'Brien are supposed to be the future and we just completely wasted a year of development.I understand that, but who or what gave you that expectation, you can't have just got it from thin air?Certainly not form the club, Liddle publicly stated the exact opposite, didn't he say the time for development was over?On the player names you mention, what about BigH, De Koning, Stocker, Owies, Fogarty, Honey and even Walsh has further progressed, do they not count?Listing Dow is an interesting case, most in the media think he's made progress, not sure about fans or if fan opinions matter.Is it all forward or nothing?It reads like you are only looking at one side of the ledger.Personally, I think a number of players have moved forward just in the last month or so, players we have not seen progress from for several years, why?
