Football Department Review

[Shakin77]

Who was behind the decision to appoint Teague?

Wrong

I think we might be talking about different types of "review." No doubt all clubs review the season once it ends, but this review, at least as discussed, is more like the Richmond / Collingwood "significant" reviews of recent years.

Who was behind the decision to appoint Teague? 

The selection panel comprised Judd, Lloyd, Liddle, LoGiudice and David Campbell.

A bit of background on the president elect. I heard Caro saying he is an auditor and a hard taskmaster - FWIW

Just in terms of the reported comments from players: anyone following AFL has repeatedly asked
1. What's the game plan?
2. Why that selection?
The only other equally obvious question is 3. Why are blokes continually played out of position?

Go figure. I'm at a loss to understand our goals. I guess that says it all really. When long term members have no idea of the club's direction/brand, there's probably a chink in the armor.

CEO of PWC would be a prck of a job, and one that would require a lot of backroom "negotiating".  Reporting to 100 or so Partners who all think they know better than you.  Hes a pretty impressive guy.  Hopefully he can bring some corporate structure to all aspects of the club

I agree lods.

It smacks of disunity - "you guys are the problem, we're doing fine." Well guess what ? Who signs off on the coaches, players etc. Who signed up Malthouse ? Who signed off on the mother of all rebuilds ?  Who signs off on all the sackings ? Who still gets dictated to by the Pratt / Mathieson factions ?

Part of the findings may well be people stepping out of their job descriptions… I hope !

I've heard PWC value their staff very little, they are treated like a million monkeys banging away at typewriters, and if one drops dead they wheel in another, AFL players and coaches are not so easily replaced!

Also, be careful what you ask for, will Sayer's emphasis be corporate or football, do not assume your desires are 100% aligned with his desires!

Many in football think profit and economics drive on field success, while others claim on field success drives profit, the football chicken and egg debate.

I think with Judd's public comments he wasnt complicit in that appointment.  He wouldnt have shot his mouth of regarding training wheels if he was an advocate of hiring Teague.

It sounds like someone appointed Teague despite the feedback the others might have given in retrospect.

Even so, this is coach and season killing stuff.  We are about to find out a lot about David Teague and his ability to coach a club.

We are undoubtedly the hardest coaching job in the AFL IMHO.

Come on Shawny and SPF you’re quoting the Cairns news ffs and rehashing rumours that Sayers beat up Dan Andrews   from the article you just posted spf, you fully believe this bullcrap? Christ.

The Facebookers allege Andrews is fighting a rape charge in court, under the radar naturally, for a dalliance with one of Lindsay Fox’s grand-daughters aged 17.  In return Andrews is said to be prosecuting his assailants for bashing him senseless over the alleged rape.

I didn't suggest I believed anything. I just found this online in a search and posted it. That was it. By the way fuck you.

I didn't suggest I believed anything. I just found this online in a search and posted it. That was it. By the way screw you.

The tell of bullcrap is that the initial claim and story was that it was somebody else who did the pushing. The name of the alleged assailant has changed more than once. It's like they are doing what online marketing calls A-B testing, publishing two or more versions to see which one grabs the most attention.

Why would we be any harder than Essendon ?  Similar history and expectation.
or Gold Coast and GWS who have big names leave to go home every year and little to no members?
