On the other side of the coin...
Bad team lose consistently, display inconsistent form, lose to worse teams more often than not and struggle to put any teams to the sword.
I give you carlton in 2019 (and 2018....) under Bolton.
I find it staggering that you use this as a 'reason' Teague has done little, and at the same time giving a clinical definition of Carlton under his coaching efforts.
As we have seen with Clarkson, even the greatest coach can't do much with average cattle and kids. I have heard many coaches say that 80% of coaching is done during the week, and there's little they can do o match day, especially now with limited runners.
Take out 30 odd games of experience from the kids, take out PIttonet, Martin, Betts etc., and put in their place Lobbe, Phillips, Mullet, O'Shea, Smedts and many others. Take a hard line long term view on development, and specifically give kids games and tough assignments, leaving oldies on the periphery. Give all that to Clarkson, or Teague, and get back to me.
