Agree, Liddle and crew wont sit back and cop the blame for a average season and missing finals, they will be looking for a scape goat real quick and the bloke with the L Plates on wont be coaching next season if that happens.
Going to be a few name coaches on the market for jobs and I dont envy Teagues position, the hype from the media preseason was strong but only one journo picked us as a finals team after all the positive spin.
Even the pro Carlton journos like Riley Beveridge from AFL.com didnt have us making it, you feel too there is that one big injury around the corner as well threatening to derail us.
Its unfair on Teague but thats the job and how we roll at Carlton....
I have seen nothing in the preseason or round one that suggests we will be anything more than a middle of ladder team like last year. Of course a string of wins can change all that quickly, but a loss to the Filth tomorrow night (who everyone reckons are on the nose) will not be a good look for Teaguey. No matter what we all think, Carlton sacks coaches like no one else and the spectre of Lyon and Clarkson loom.
