Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 5: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Thryleon]

Even with our terrible recent history, I can't see the club sacking Teague before the end of the year. They would, at a minimum, be waiting until the 2nd half of the year when we get some better players back.

Certainly agree with the bit in bold.

As much as I would normally agree, I actually think that this outcome isnt only possible, but somehow likely to occur and all it will take is an unexpected loss to Essendon for it to happen.

Look at our injury list, and when you do I want you to consider that Docherty, Williams, Cripps and Saad all seem to be carrying knocks that are reducing their ability to impact games for 4 quarters.  Levi hasnt and doesnt look fit.  Mcgovern isnt and doesnt look fit.

we are one Weitering or Walsh injury away from falling away completely competitively.

Then you look at our club, and just know that someone who is a former poker king is already orchestrating some grandious manoever to try and attract Clarkson to the club.

Do you really think we wouldn't sack Teague?

I would ordinarily have put these games in bold down as games we can and should win, but on recent form, and our injury list, but the form line doesnt lend weight to this being the case.

I pinpoint the North Melbourne game as a relatively do or die match with us not having secured 8 wins by then, and if history is a guide its the one that will roll the coach. 

Unless Liddle has a different way of doing things of course or our club is truly invested as Teague as coach.  NOTE:  This might still be the correct course of action.  The fact that the riot act was read to some players after our loss to Collingwood and it was our newbies that did it is just one more reason to get a bit concerned about us really.
