Really enjoying Will Setterfield's growth this season.
His awareness and vision, particularly in attack is matched by his skilful kicking and handballing. He's been building week by week. Well done to young Will 👏

No we aren't. Teague himself has said on numerous occasions that the style hasn't changed that much. As we can see with Clickbait Clarkson, there's nothing any coach can do about kids and hacks. He can barely get a yelp out of O'Maera, Mitchell, Wingard, Scully etc.

I agree, but that's not my point. Apart from the Bulldogs, falling over against this team or that team does nor engender much confidence. All teams have been inconsistent, but you can be inconsistent and still look convincing, like Port. We have scored 100 points or more the last 3 games against the Dogs - it's entirely possible that we are simply their bogey team.

For some people, "we won" is enough. For those of us who take an interest in detail, nuance and subtlety, it's not nearly enough.

It'd be easier to admit you were simply ridiculously wrong. 10-9 under Teague, 4 from the last 43 under Bolton. Answers everything. |

Game has changed, we are alot more attacking than the confusing, defensive muck served up before.

I realise basic comprehension is beyond you, so I'll give you a helping hand. Look back on our recruiting history over the last 20 years and tell me what you see. Look back at our coaches over the last 20 years, their successes and failures, and tell me if you can join the dots. Come on slugger, I dare ya. See if for once in your life, you can take a broader view, and see the bigger picture.

Agree...a consistent performer still with some upside and more physical development to be had , knows his limitations and plays his role.
Probably goes under the radar as he isnt flashy but its the reliable types you build a core group around and he is now part of that core group IMO.

Don't give me spin. That's all you have when you've been made to look a fool. The more you bring it up the more you look a fool. Look at the scoreboard, tells all. From that scoreboard I see 10 from 19 compared 4 from 43. I saw instant improvement. Same players, different results. If you can't see the difference in our game since Teague come along then I can only laugh in your face.

Paul, you got it wrong. no amount of spin, BS will change that.

Only 22 yo, under 30 games, lost fitness, continuity and confidence due to a knee reco. Plenty of upside here!!

i think we are a very LUCKY football team,cats play 6mins, ess 1more meter,roos with important players missing.I blame our game style it has been the same for years the long bomb into forward line does not work the opposition just run it out and because we are slow cant defend and into there open forward line,easy goals to other side. How many times have we seen this happen. So change game plan . How does opposition have open forward line and ours is crowded all time?Glad we won but we are LUCKY

Dont disagree we were lucky both with Nth being down on some key players and our own game plan working not so well but we slugged it out and lesser thought of players dragged us over the line. In the past we would have been over run and lost but players like Cuningham seem to have a licence to thrill under Teague they didnt have under Bolton and backed themselves in.
Its a more attacking style even though inconsistent but its better than defending patches of grass and trying to strangle teams...think I'd rather go down swinging than having hope as a strategy.

As we have seen with Clarkson, even the greatest coach can't do much with average cattle and kids. I have heard many coaches say that 80% of coaching is done during the week, and there's little they can do o match day, especially now with limited runners.

Take out 30 odd games of experience from the kids, take out PIttonet, Martin, Betts etc., and put in their place Lobbe, Phillips, Mullet, O'Shea, Smedts and many others. Take a hard line long term view on development, and specifically give kids games and tough assignments, leaving oldies on the periphery. Give all that to Clarkson, or Teague, and get back to me.
