But to say it’s not completely different to when BB coached, is a fallacy. I was a BB fan but he did not have the team playing like they are now. Teague and the players say, he tells them to take it on, make a mistake in the process but try and try again. Footy is very much about confidence. Had cunners kicked that goal an extra metre last week, we would’ve won. He took his opportunity yesterday in an Ugly wet scrap, and got it that time. The belief and confidence for him to do that again after last week, is a credit to the coach.
Time to let the BB era go. I believed in him and his process but it didn’t yield results and ultimately the players didn’t believe in it either. They are on board the D-train And grinding out those wins, after a heartbreaker of a loss last week, can only be a positive for that team. Sure I’m frustrated we didn’t annihilate them but as someone else said, Port lost in Adelaide to Sts last night, maybe the game last week drained both teams.
Teague has tweaked the game plan, but it is most certainly not completely different. I posted analysis from Champion Data late last year which showed this quite clearly - plus comments from Teague, plus comments from players, plus comments from assistant coaches. It's more front half, and Teague is more "player empowerment", but it's not completely different.
