Yep. Pressure on Teague unfortunately has just skyrocketed IMO.

Yep like I said previously Clarkson had Hawthorn by the short and curlies and Kennett had to roll over and give him the money, all that crap about seeing out his contract was just BS so he could push Kennett into a corner.
Caro was right all along which isnt often but this was all about money....I'd say the decision has already been made on Teague and I'd expect either Clarko or Lyon to be in the frame.
Clarkson will now field offers from about 4 clubs IMO and pick the best contract/lifestyle.....

Clarkson will have been extensively briefed by Bolton, so if he does come here, he'll know exactly what he's in for.

Which begs the question as to why he would actually want to come.

Clarko wants the money IMO, this is his superannuation contract, you listen to him and its about where he is going to live/lifestyle etc and football might not even be a priority. Does he want the pressure of Collingwood or Carlton for example?, could easily take take the Gold Coast job if offered and relax a bit more up Nth with little expectation other than to do better than Dew...
I'm sure we will be pitching though and if Caro is right again then we will have another Messiah to lead us from the wilderness....

Until we have a professionally run club that is united from top to toe and stable, this cycle will continue to repeat. If Teague gets chopped, he would have been in the job 2 1/2 years. That's following on from Bolton (3 1/2, sacked mid season) and Malthouse (2 1/2, sacked mid season). That's disgraceful behaviour.

He's a good chance of coaching a spoon side that has underachieved. Might tell you something. We have been down this road before with gun coaches who were getting passed it.

Fair points... We know though the temptation of Clarko will be too much for our board...
The Nth loss was probably the worst outcome for Teague and the results now don't matter..

Wonder what they think if we win the next 2 as we will likely sit in the 8.

A new dawn has to start sometime... perhaps it is this year. We can hope.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Unfortunately results under Bolton and Mick were awful. Few wins, embarrassing hidings. Our culture and motivation is terrible but you couldn't run with that. We've had nothing like that right now, as frustrating as it has been. We have been a very competitive team, on the scoreboard at least, even if some of the on field efforts have left a bit to be desired. Could end up a Ratten to Malthouse type handover, thinking we had something better, which we have regretted ever since.
