We were outscored in the last 3 q, outscored on turnover and outscored from stoppage - those last 2 factors alone usually mean you lose the game. Mitch "Teague is my bitch" McGovern has obviously been told that 25% output is sufficient to earn full pay, and plays accordingly. Harry McKay is also a big concern injury wise.
When it comes to coaching, Teague is the luckiest man alive. As Amos makes clear, some other mug did all the dirty work, then in rides Dinkum Dave on his white horse, gets gifted kids with games under their belt, get gifted blokes like Betts and Martin, and time after time we just barely drag our sorry ar$es over the line. Praise be, it's a miracle.
So we have two choices, Carlton circa May 2019 Under Bolton or Carlton circa July 2020 under Teague...... umm, next question!!
No one enjoyed their football under Bolton, he was too intense, too uptight, too uncompromising, yet the same group in a matter of days, with a different coaching attitude, beat the Brisbane who had a full head of steam!!
Even watching Bolton’s press conferences made me tense and uptight! Imagine what it was like for the players!
4/4 after 8, 2 losses less than a kick, took a contender to a kick after the siren to defeat us and we’re ( rightly or wrongly) being touted as a final 8 side....... yep I’ll take Teague and 2020 every day of the week!!
