Football Department Review

[ElwoodBlues1]

Teague to step down to save face. The board and CEO gave him full backing, but will honour his request to spend more time with family etc. Wins all round.....except for Teague who was really pushed.

Clarko in.....
Full review of assistants at Clarko's request.
Maybe Power stays...most gone.
Russell stays because he was at Hawks beforehand i think.

Lloyd stays.....for now. Replaced next year with someone Clarko approves of.

SPS to be traded. LoB to be delisted.
Cyril Rioli to be lured out of retirement.

How's that for Crystal Balling?

For the record, that is basically the exact opposite of what i want to happen.

If Clarko gets the job I would expect him to bring his own team and not retain anyone not protected by the Liddle umbrella.
Agree i think he will step down voluntary and its already rumored the money is on the table for him...

FWIW, i think the best thing for Teague to do is take the boys to the pub. Have a piss up and get everything out in the open.

"If you boys want me to be here, i need you to win this game against GWS. Not just win it, but convincingly win it. Put no doubt in anybodys mind that you are behind me and we are in this together."

If they can't, or choose not to lift for the coach....then it could get ugly......which i hate!

I just read that Power is going to be stepping up to take over Barkers role for the rest of the year.

I reckon if you are clarko, you couldn't possibly cut Power. The others are fair game.

I think if Clarko or Lyon say yes then Teague wont get that chance......its gone past the wins/lossesIMO and Teagues only hope is if the big name coaches dont want the job.

I think he will want his own handpicked 2nd lieutenant, Power might be retained in a lesser role but usually when you pick a
big name coach they come with their own inner circle as part of the deal.
The recruiting is the interesting area for me and whether Liddle or Lloyd are prepared to let go and let a coach like Clarko
pick his own man in the main role.

These deals are usually done now, well ahead of the season ending especially with Collingwood also looking for a new coach...
Clarko the messiah......where to for the club if he joins the long list of failed messiahs and gets lost in the wilderness that is Ikon park.

Like other reviews I reckon the coach will stay and they'll be a cleanout of many other positions. Russell will stay but his role will be purely on the fitness side, not crossing roles as he is doing now, which is ridiculous. Roles for everyone will be alot more defined. Captaincy will change to Weitering. Teague and Clarko are both contracted for 2022 I think they'll try that first and see what happens under Teague next year.

All will be a waste if the players don't lift their motivation, drive and the culture changes. Bottom line, peer pressure needs the be the driver.

So what happens if the Board commit to Teague on the back of this review and then we churn out 3 or 4 more shockers like the WCE game?

Probably not going to see much happen if you are within a goal or two all game and lose by 4 as bad as we performed generally. That stuff you can work out at year's end. Previous coaches those bad efforts were 60-100pt losses.

I will be interested to see player reaction come next game.
