LP, I have a different memory. My memory is Wilson stating that her Carlton sources have said that Teague will not be coaching Carlton next year and Clarkson would be. Nothing to do with training wheels. It was all about her reporting the belief of some people at Carlton that Carlton needs and should have a big name Coaching their team. So I stick by my belief their was a plan to engineer the removal of Teague and have him replaced by Clarkson. Just because the plan seems to have hit a snag because Clarkson wasn't and isn't on board yet, doesn't mean there wasn't a plan.

Caro brings up the training wheels comment as often as she can.

She may not have mentioned it when she said what you've said above, but she says it so often it goes without saying.

I'll put this here because if we're looking at a few changes this is one of those who needs a promotion.

I do like the sub heading, which refers to it as an "extended chat." 3.48. Wow. Us oldies are still clearing our throats at the 3 min 48 sec mark lol.

Ah, the kids of today.

Absolute crap show what's going on at the moment. How can the board, in good conscience, leave Teague hanging out to dry while they are actively white-anting him - not even behind his back, but in plain sight. Effectively asking him to hang around while we bring in your replacement! A circus.

Teague has every right to tell them to GAGF.

Perhaps 'in good conscience' is actually their problem. They don't know what one is. Thrown good money after bad at problems and hope they go away for years.

Biggest problem is that this club does not belong to the members. Benefactors own it. It's been at the whim of the Pratt's and Mathieson's for years. They are the cancer that poisons the place.

The club must return to the members.

I reckon TT will get sacked and whoever else, on Friday morning - just before finals start so we aren’t the biggest media attraction once finals start up.

So Pissed off its come to this and Fck the whole board, what a disgraceful episode AGAIN for our club!

Interesting those "Team First" comments relating to next year and the pre-season, notice the hesitation to speak when raising that point, .................. it's a tell!

This bloke should be captain, .......................... and by some margin!

Brett Temple on FB reckons today’s the day.  However, his tips/inside knowledge have been off the mark so far.

Go straight to the Bigfooty rumour files and cut out the middle-man ;) ;D

Yep....team first...and coming from a non-captain.

Very telling indeed if you read between the lines.

I also noticed him talking a lot about himself personally and how he needs to improve, or what he did right for the benefit of the team....and acknowledged his backline mates. Less talk about how the rest of the team went. Perhaps he doesn't want to point out where the issues lie. If you can't say anything nice...

Yes, this is exactly his personality, very thoughtful, very considered.

But when he crosses the white line he changes dramatically, so fans do not need to fear about that affecting how he would lead! ;)

Ah, the world of mixed messages... or should I say, mixed assumptions.

The media is having a field day with this, with opinions flying about all over the place. Opinions based on rumour and speculation.

Very impressed that the club is sticking with its process/agenda/timing and not jumping about trying to respond to the media's agenda/pressure & sensational needs.

Personally more than happy to wait until things actually happen rather than speculate, 2nd guess and jump at shadows.

Major change takes time and though unfortunate, even sad, there will be casualties and they won't be happy.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

A lot of assumptions in there too Baggers 😄
It’s quite likely that the internals are in melt down as we speak, it’s just that they had the good fortune to lock the doors and windows when they went inside !
Let’s go BIG !

I have no issue with major change, but it has to be the right change. I'd be very curious to know if the review is telling the club to sack Teague, or telling them get Clarko if he's available. If it's the former, you'd have to legitimately ask why we paid three blokes good money to tell us something we're already good at, and which we were probably going to do anyway. "You've sacked 5 blokes so far this century, if hasn't worked out, but you should sack one more. You'll eventually find the right one. Good things take time. That'll be 100k thanks."
