Football Department Review

[LoveNavy]

Then before that we had Malthouse, as ruthless as you get.

And unbeknownst to him, blindly egocentric. "Who are you to question my superb record"
Until his record wasn't.....at Carlton.

Didn't help us, in fact generated further division and maintained the chaos that is Carlton.

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.

There should be plenty of room for Clarkson's stuffed and mounted head in the newly refurbished Big Game Room, right next to his buddy Bolts. Obviously we no longer have any interest in collecting flags, so we collect scalps instead.

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?

I really hope that John Hollingsworth gets up and can give this dopey board a massive wake up call and shake up. Teague isn't the problem. The players have been through enough turmoil. Teague staying or going won't make much difference to their performance IMO.

Player efforts created the turmoil.

I agree PP....the board will look even more stupid if they've committed to Teague publicly for 2022 and then we cop a few floggings and the review recommends the club part ways with Teague. I think they were a bit stupid to say the review "wasn't about David Teague".....he's the coach and effectively head of the football department....how can he not be included in the total review?

Crystal balling.

Teague to stay on.  Clarkson is unlikely, and contracted to end '22 anyway.
Assistants to get cleaned out.
Worsfold...  Still don't know what his role is,  is he part of the "soft cap" crowd?

Weeters to take over as captain.
Murphy to limp to 300 then retire.

A lot of onfield positional and personel changes.

I believe that a lot of the issues exist within the playing group and much improvement can come from within.  Seriously we have two possible members of an AA spine, we can't be that bad.

Teague to Clarkson would be Brittain to Pagan revisited.

Clarkson would have to pull off at least a finals in his first year.

If we cop Bolton/Malthouse like floggings then he won't be coaching 2022. Fortunately it's the one thing we don't cop. Geelong and Richmond reviews sorted everything out around the coach and streamlined tasks, much allowing the coach to concentrate on his primary job.

I agree. If they are reviewing the football department, that means reviewing Teague plus 100 other things. I'm not sure how you can review a football department and yet state the coach is safe. MLG is an average communicator IMO.

The Board brings heat on the club by impulsive, rash behavior, never settling on any one thing, constantly changing one thing or another. Stability and unity will give us the best chance of success. This was an unnecessary announcement, much like the R2 2015 announcement of a total rebuild. Amateur hour yet again.

Agree with all that. Clarko wont come to us due to how we treated BB plus is blindly/fiercely loyal to the hawks.
Ditto Mitchell if we were to ask, although he would consider Coll if they asked.
Lyon Im  not convinced wants to coach, wont like how we treated his great mate SOS. Wont come to us, will go to Coll if he does get back on the horse.
