Decisions are probably well advanced (some may have even been made prior to the whole thing starting

It's just a waiting game now and next week looks set to be an interesting one.
I wonder if the rumours around Eddie retiring mean he has got a sniff that his mate Teaguey is gonski.

LoG handing over the reigns this week (earlier than planned) so that Sayers has clean air to deliver findings and implement change. My immediate thought is that LoG is no longer the executioner, Sayers is. Interesting couple of weeks coming up.

Ill go you one better.
Whoever is coaching Carlton next year, you can bet that there is a lucrative sponsorship deal that will go through with it.
We are not serving anything but the almighty dollar, and football clubs are not football clubs anymore.
They are financial entities in the entertainment industry, and our niche market that the CFC has carved out for itself, is to be the villain that everyone despises, and loves kicking whilst they are down and we work extremely hard not to lift ourselves off the canvas, and its our hubris that does it.

"Stability and managed succession are still the keys to the future success of this football club" says LoG.
Not convinced our decision makers know what stability means. Our recent history tells a story of significant instability.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

You don't ever call a review mid-season. Players, coaches are playing with a sword hanging over them for half a year. Eventually you get so much disunity you get what we have seen the last couple of weeks. Trust everywhere is gone. Teague had little support, no help, players being interviewed about him, essentially hung out to dry. Then we expect a young coach to perform under pressure and his players to perform each week. Easy for us sitting being our keyboard, we're not there copping it and coping with the stress. Damn lucky we were still a finals chance for as long as it was.
There's things he could have focussed more on, like team defence, but that defence did work ok when the players felt like doing it, as is also a big issue discussed ad nauseum, especially after that blast at half time against Hawthorn. Last year was our chance. We were equal 4th for qtrs won, but the 5 goal bursts, hence bad qtrs, cost us. Young coach rookie error. That could be sorted with another preseason. Last preseason was unfortunately a short one due to COVID. Plus too we choked up 2 last qtrs in 5 days when finals looked right on for us.

I just hope we stick with Teague and find some gun assistant coaches to support him and, in particular, run the midfield.
We saw what it did for Kennedy and Dow when Barker walked out. We need fresh ideas across all lines but in particular our midfield is our biggest issue.

Agree about the review timing. Atrocious people management that effectively torpedoed the club’s season by destroying trust from top down. I hope Sayers has learned something but I doubt it. It was an act of arrogance that portends ill for the future.
Reality always wins in the end.
