You can tell from the way he speaks that he is for the players and the club, it's not just lip service like some, he really means it!
Glad he hasn't bought into the umpiring shizen.
While I bang on about Clarkson, Dimma and Scott, I don't want our bloke doing the same but rather I want Scott, Clarkson and Dimma fined into AFL oblivion. Mind you, I hope Teague's diplomatic approach doesn't mean we(The Club) aren't seeking clarification through official channels, and I'd be happy for Teague to parrot the "AFL's Official Response" to any clarification request in a presser, without necessarily bagging umpires or individual decisions. The problems that I see are the AFL's faceless men and the overtly manipulative coaches.
It’s a Teague directive that we don’t go back and put it on opposition players who make a mistake, just celebrate our success from the blunder. Also, many are having a crack at Plowman for his reaction to the 50 meter penalty, but again that’s the Teague way. If that’s the culture we are promoting, I’m fine with that. Reflects Teague’s playing era, courageous, non compromising but fair.
