It has been abhorrent, week in week out as bad as I have seen from any Carlton side. If Vossy and co. can turn this around, it will go a long to improving our fortunes.It was no win for Teague, the media types and many fans spent a decade complaining about Carlton's low scoring "bad to watch", "boring to commentate" football, they wanted us kicked off Friday nights, then any nights, then off the box altogether, while they praised the Dogs.
Teague was basically given a mandate courtesy of his 1/2-season success to try and fix it, so he needed to teach a team that couldn't kick a 100 pts in decade how to actually score, so when he started that they(King, et. al..) hung him out to dry almost instantly for not having a defensive mindset. Fans seem to have ignored the previous decade of media complaints and jumped straight into the new suit of clothes.
Nobody including Teague said it was forever tactic, but impatience kills. He basically copied the Dogs game style, but Teague didn't have the squad that had the mentality to deal with turnovers, they couldn't hit a barn with a blunderbuss, and when they missed the barn they wouldn't chase, finally it seems some took offense at being asked to do so. So what happened, they did it for a 1/4 here or a 1/2 there, and got flogged when they couldn't get their hands on the pill.
If you listen to those media types too much you'll go berserk and do your head in, because they flip like frogs on a hotplate and are dead set flogs. They'll tell you black is sh1te today, and if you turn white they tell you white is a turd tomorrow!
