Football Department Review

[Gointocarlton]

If the President's statement is correct that, irrespective of the review's findings, Teague's job is safe until the end of 2022 then we need a statement within a matter of days from Sayers confirming it.  If not, we risk becoming part of the media circus currently devoting nearly all of its energies to the Collingwood coaching position.

Collingwood has made a clean break with Buckley and all attention is on finding a successor.

Until Teague's position is clarified we will draw further attention our way with questions being asked about whether he is likely to stay, and every match will be analysed to the nth degree about his suitability continuing as coach.

Those in the media who believe we need a change of coach will have us in a race with Collingwood for likely applicants.

Teague is under enough pressure and if media scrutiny  continues to query his tenure at Carlton I am sure it will subject him to additional pressure that he does not need right now and confuse our list; the morale of our players will drop even further  and there will be even less likelihood of winning matches - almost a self fulfilling prophesy.

Teague deserves certainty, so do the supporters, and the Board should make its true intentions about his employment known immediately

MLG's comments were odd to say the least, how can the Football Dept be reviewed without the coach being subjected to it also is the question many are raising. I still go back to his appearance at the post WC match presser, he looked broken the poor bastard.
