Carlton Supporters Club

Did I mis-read Mr Sayers communication to members last week, that members would be the first to be told the outcome of the review?

Ab

So, the review found that Judd was correct and we won’t appoint a coach on training wheels again 🙄

I think that the criticism of the gameplan and tactics are justified but surely Lloyd should have been providing feedback to Teague.  There’s no mention of support and development of the coach, something that Mark Maclure and others have identified as a key failure.  We’ll just appointed an experienced hack and let him get on with the job.

I can’t believe that list management gets a tick.  I guess we’ll see more highly paid halfback flankers next season.

Player development didn’t get a mention either 🤔

Half the players didn't rate him.

The review has found that while the coaching group had the expertise required, it had been unable to have an effective impact on a playing group that is required to deliver results at the elite level.

While the easier option would have been to wait a further 12 months in the hope these deficiencies would change...

There is a high level of expertise in the high-performance area, however opportunity exists to clearly define roles and responsibilities.

We were pleased that the final report delivered by the external panel outlined a number of areas our football department had been performing strongly, relating to areas of football strategy, list management, systems and operations, with quality people committed to what they’re doing.

Whilst management and staff were found to be capable and committed to the success of Carlton Football Club, and demonstrating a positive mindset, there is a requirement for stronger leadership, more experienced coaching, and improvements in player development.

Our AFL and AFLW playing groups are now well placed to pursue on-field success in the coming seasons, supported by our incredibly strong off-field position that is underpinned by new facilities and sustainable revenue streams.

Read between the lines, the coaching group did not have a clear game plan or the ability to communicate and lock in the plan. This would be fatal for any coach, this is not the board forming an opinion, this is the external review findings.  Accept it, a decision has been made. Judge the new board on the decisions they make from this point forward.

The Herald Sun can reveal that Teague was heavily wounded by feedback provided to the club’s external reviewers during their exhausting investigation into Carlton’s football department.

It is understood that Teague received support from less than 50 per cent of the players and support staff interviewed by Matthew Pavlich, Geoff Walsh and Graham Lowe.

Teague drove into the club this morning to tell the playing group he had been sacked after two and a half years in the job. He had one more year to run on his contract.

The external panel was given unfettered access to the Blues and left few stones unturned in their search for answers, although Pavlich’s research was conducted via Zoom because he was unable to fly in from Western Australia

The suggested pass mark for coach support was considered to be closer to 80 per cent.

Sources said Teague was stunned when he was informed on Monday when the findings were finally tabled to him.

Teague passionately shot down reports that he had lost relationships with some of his players on Saturday night after his final game in charge.

“It hurt when people said I’d lost relationships with the players,” Teague said.

“That one probably dug a little bit deep because it’s not true.

The Terrier to narrow his focus to his area of responsibility.

I wouldn't get too comfy if I was Lloyd or Liddle.
