It was like Teague was going to sprinkle his magic dust on the players and all would be solved. As has been pointed out, his record vs his predecessors is scarily similar, skills havent improved, young players havent really developed, they continue to play rejects from other clubs. Im effin sick of it. I dont see anything different being tried, just the same stuff over and over again hoping for a different result. Its madness.

The next 3 or 4 weeks will tell the story.
I just tried to imagine the effect the stutter start would have had....and it would be different for everyone.
One of the most cliché comments we tend to hear is "They're all professional footballers. They should tough it out."
But there's a world of difference between a  mature 30 year old and an 18 year old recruit.
The mental durability varies greatly from player to player.
As we've also seen in recent times mental health issues can affect footballers in much the same way as they do the general population.
So this season is different from any other.
A month or two back and the players would have had little idea whether or not the season would even recommence.
They would have been training in isolation and the input and contact from the club would have been seriously limited compared to normal.
So in effect they've had 6-8 weeks of uncertainty compared to a normal pre-season of structured progressive training. I reckon that's got to impact, and clubs and players will handle that differently.... and because of that I reckon it will take a few weeks to determine where we really sit.

I know where I'd start with pruning useless coaches.  Teague ain't one of them .... yet

Our recent history is a constant feed of false dawns, false starts, failed recruiting, failed coaches, failed starts in games, its doesnt farken end my god!!!! I am 53 years and have followed and supported (financially bar a couple of years) the club since I can remember, I have gone on the odd rant before but I have never ever felt the sense of embarrassment I have for the once mighty Carlton Football Club like I do now.
