It's much too early to tell on Teague....but he wont get the same amount of time as Bolton.
But I reckon it's also much too soon to tell on this season.
There's a lot of doom and gloom around this place at the moment.
I'm struggling to see the reason for it given the general mess this season is.
Win on the weekend and the narrative will be completely different.
I'm quite happy with the off-field folk at present.
They've shown they're prepared to make some hard calls...and they'll live or die on the results of those.
Our starts since Teague has been coach have been poor but, bar round 23 where we always tend to switch off anyway, we have fought every game out really hard. Previously the white flag would've been raised. We're 6-7 with Teague, better first qtrs and it's alot better. Culture is still our big issues and that won't change overnight. Malthouse's first year with the Pies was 2nd last, off a previous wooden spoon year. 2 years later they were in the GF. Hardwick hard to start off with Richmond's poor culture and eventually turned it around but far from overnight. That's what Teague will need to do, turn round the culture. Right now, with that aspect he's starting from the "bottom". At least, as I said, we are fighting every game out to the death no matter how far we are behind. Not easy doing that week in, week out. Very few sides could keep doing that. The big issue now is being way behind in game, which is hurting and frustrating all of us.
