If the President's statement is correct that, irrespective of the review's findings, Teague's job is safe until the end of 2022 then we need a statement within a matter of days from Sayers confirming it. If not, we risk becoming part of the media circus currently devoting nearly all of its energies to the Collingwood coaching position.
Collingwood has made a clean break with Buckley and all attention is on finding a successor.
Until Teague's position is clarified we will draw further attention our way with questions being asked about whether he is likely to stay, and every match will be analysed to the nth degree about his suitability continuing as coach.
Those in the media who believe we need a change of coach will have us in a race with Collingwood for likely applicants.
Teague is under enough pressure and if media scrutiny continues to query his tenure at Carlton I am sure it will subject him to additional pressure that he does not need right now and confuse our list; the morale of our players will drop even further and there will be even less likelihood of winning matches - almost a self fulfilling prophesy.
Teague deserves certainty, so do the supporters, and the Board should make its true intentions about his employment known immediately

I have similar reservations Macca, about the almost ex president “guaranteeing” Teagues job, when the new guy is running the review…
Let’s go BIG !

MLG's comments were odd to say the least, how can the Football Dept be reviewed without the coach being subjected to it also is the question many are raising. I still go back to his appearance at the post WC match presser, he looked broken the poor bastard.

Lyons no fool.
If he wants the job, he isnt going to come out and say it, because we might pay him more to try and entice him into it.

Hm I watched it too and didn’t think Lyon was looking for a job. He spoke well in that he said he would take the call out of respect snd of course it’s good for the ego to be chased but I didn’t feel he was really looking to coach again. And yes interesting his spoke to SOS that day… oh gosh maybe him taking the job would be dependent on SOS being reinstated snd round and round we go!
Poor DT good guy does not deserve this

I watched FC, they showed the CEO, the Football Manager and the President saying Teague would be coaching Carlton next year, but this is not good enough. It is a bizarre sight when you have journalists complaining about people being unequivocal. It is also unreasonable for Sayers, who is heading the review, to comment on any potential outcome of the review. If you are going to pre-empt a review, why have a review in the first place. Clarkson is contracted to the end of 2022 at Hawthorn so if you are looking at this change, then it is more likely to happen at the end of next season not this. I actually think Clarkson priority is to see off Kennett and I am not into Messiahs.
I think the real problem at Carlton is the lack of passion the players play with and haven't played with for twenty years now. Players pick and choose when they are going to go during matches, they pick and choose which quarters they are going to have a go during a match, and they have been picking and choosing which games they have been willing to have a go at. I think we have been better at turning up for games this year and we have been better throughout quarters this year, but not all players are going all the time. That is what needs to be fixed. If players have a red hot go all the time, we can then genuinely see how good the list and coaching is.

Blue....tend to agree. I wonder if we've just had two nice blokes as recent coaches and that has in some way contributed to it? If the club backs Teague in then I'm fine with that but if they decide to go with someone else, then IMO it needs to be someone with a bit of a ruthless edge...which leans itself to the Clarkson or Lyon theory.
