Neither Clarkson nor Hardwick etc. looked like flag coaches after 50 games. I disagree that the Saints and Freo lists were lesser than ours. And Harry McKay will probably start looking for a new home.
We can all see how many flags, GF's, coaches have in their past, but that's irrelevant to us. We need to know how many flags they have in their future. We've been seduced by coaches with previous success before, and got burnt, twice. The model that gives the best chance for success is right before our eyes - stability, unity and build from within, but for whatever reason, we can't see it, or refuse to embrace it.
Rash?
Hardly? Will Teague improve? Maybe, maybe not. No certainty at all.
Should he be given the largesse Hardwick was afforded? Maybe, maybe not.
Comparing his track record with other coaches is fraught with danger.....
I've put up the teams in those GFs by the way.
Have a crack!
Finals, then 4 in a row!
