I think Teague is safe and I feel they want to keep him to his contract. Only way he is not there is if he himself decides to pull the pin. As for every other position in the footy dept? Not so safe and all up for review and change if required. Thats my opinion.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

That is my opinion too. Like Geelong did with Bomber, Richmond with Hardwick, Buckley with Collingwood the reviews sorted out the other issues. made the changes that created much better support for the coach. In each case they played the Grand Final the next year, the first two cases, won the GF by a large margin and created a dynasty.

Who'd be a senior coach?
They are significant stressors for any person. The club preaches support for it's own. I certainly hope they can use some discretion and compassion. If nothing else, in terms of time.

And with no intent to derail, I spent a good half hour with Buckley years back. We got talking very intently about club histories, family upbringings, and everything in between.
He enjoyed it as did I. Thoroughly like him. Good good person.

Sellers is a goose. If your team mates are here today gone tomorrow, how can you build any kind of relationship, any kind of synergy ? If you have a losing mindset, how hard is that to break ? If you have a club that is trigger happy across all aspects of the football department, how can you give 100% to footy when you're constantly looking over your shoulder ?
Our players are not soft, they are not overpaid fat cats who are just chasing big contracts. Players have been coming to us for fat contracts and brown paper bags since the 60's. Our blokes have lost the winning habit, and have been witness to far too much instability and uncertainty, far too much list turnover, far to much coach turnover, which is why they play the way they do.
Totally agree with your views about "team" or lack there of, and the eroding process of instability and therefore uncertainty.
Generally people struggle with uncertainty. By default it then consumes resources from the body, mind, and heart. In that sense our team is operating with a real handicap, and has been for much of the recent past. This understanding of human psychology is most denied/misinterpreted/misused by those devoted to power and self promotion. Thus the tension between looking after business/outcomes v people. Organizations with healthy culture enable both to coexist under a clear philosophy or brand.
Much is about stability, so long as the goals/roles - personnel/processes are ALL pulling in the same direction.
I'll say again. In an organization that has more change than stability, one of the roles with potential to enhance individual/team is the Org psych. Of course, that person also works within the "greater good" plan.
As complex as it seems, it's also simple and simple measures can make an enormous difference. Every person in our club has the same condition. The human condition. Strip it back to respect, integrity, honesty. Add in energy, intensity, and teamwork.
Sorry, got a bit side tracked there. I'll show myself out?
One last thing.... we all make sense of events differently. Be kind to one another - WE are on the same team

One thing about Buckley he does come across as a very good bloke.
