There is a fundamental coaching flaw if we have so many entries inside 50, but do nothing with them. What has Teague given us in terms of strategies and plans?

I know stats are stats. Here's some interesting running stats.
4 of the top 5 are Carlton players for:
Distance covered
Fastest in attack and defence
Most sprints
Most repeat sprints
Carlton sprinted 51 v 30 and +2 tackles
My interpretation. Our players are running their guts out. Ineffectively chasing their tailfeathers. Aka chooks with their heads cut off.
Come to think of it, that's exactly what it looked like today. Ineffectual presence.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Bad enough that we're due for another spoon.
The list has lost all confidence and that erodes all else. We failed where Essendon succeeded ... tackling and player options out the back where they exposed us.
We're killing Cripps and will do the same with Walsh and Stocker (and I love this kid) if we're not careful.
One thing I will say about an opposition player I thought was a flash in the pan .... Tipungwuti ... he's VERY good. Took him a year or two, but very clever
Weitering? Take a well deserved bow mate

He didn’t look like he was playing for the coach today.
Cripps is a warrior, he wants to win
Based on the fact that he has said publicly he has backed the board, their plan and Bolts. I think, Im guessing only, that he would see it as a kick in the guts seeing the coach, who he has a strong relationship with, go.

i though Weitering was great today, Levi tried hard in an unnatural position for him, Kreuzer played his heart out both in the ruck and on the ground. Besides some ordinary disposal, Dow’s ability to get the ball, footwork out of traffic and his acceleration away from packs makes me feel confident that he will become a very good player for us. Setterfield showed that he can find the football and doesn’t mind getting dirty. Stocker improves every week and Walsh is a lock champion of the future. Cuningham needs continuity because he can play. Our spine of McKay, Curnow, Cripps, Weitering and Jones is a more than useful framework, with youth on its side. Lang, Fasolo and Kennedy don’t belong.
There’s still plenty to work with, but they need to be guided and directed properly. That’s the part we haven’t got in place unfortunately.
