Yep sure did...last week in fact

Absolutely embarrassing if that’s what he actually believes. He has to go.

With how often the camera panned to Teague in the last quarter when we were getting overrun it seems the media also smells blood.

Bolton had nothing to work with. Teague has a list full of talented senior players. Absolutely convinced we'd be doing better under Bolton

How does a list with McKay, Weitering, Walsh, Cripps, Saad, Williams sit 13th on the ladder half way through the season? And all playing most weeks and actually playing well.

There’s 3 genuine AA calibre players in there.

It's the connective tissue that's the.....issue :oops:

Think of a really shit movie that has a handful of good scenes scattered throughout.

Teague has Weitering with 100 games under his belt and plays a reasonably experienced team; he has Docherty at his disposal as well (which Bolton mostly did not have).

Carlton are generally easy to score against.

Where is the defensive structure?

The season is shot.It's gone.Teague knows it.Board know it.Assistant coaches know it.Snowey on the tram knows it.........and most of all,the players know it...........Now we will see if Teague can galvanise the playing group and get something out of the season.Its a big ask for sure but this is his test.Rest of the season is gonna tell us about Teague.Its also gonna tell us which players want to be there.

Are you for real? The rest of the season tells us nothing about Teague. The season is shot. The first half of the season tells us everything. The second half is junk time. It's like being 10 goals down at half time and coming back to lose by 4 goals. Who really cares? Didn't turn up when the pressure was on

Just @#$%&! off along with Barker and the rest. The great big hope.


That's how backward we are in our thinking. Other teams have moved on from lightbulbs ..... more like halogen, xenon, LED and Laser.

This same side has to play 5-6 of:

Murphy
Cottrell
Gibbons
Setterfield
Dow
LOB
Casboult
SPS
Owies

Every single week, herein lies your answer.

We lose more often than not because most sides have better players than us.

In saying that we have plateaued under Teague, whether that is personnel or coaching, I think it’s largely the first one but we are still losing the same way. Why are our tackle numbers always so low?

The lightbulb will go off on his career soon.



And it should...he is out of his depth.

And, you can have all the best assistants on the planet supporting him but if he wants a manic gameplan that's devoid of tempo or defensive structures...he gets his way...that's the senior coaches prerogative

We're waiting for the light bulb moment

Waiting.

We're not building our own flowering light bulb. We're waiting.

Sums the club up for the past 20 years. We're waiting. No one is proactive. We just expect things to happen with time. We're not doing enough to make sure they do.

Teague wouldn't know where the lightbulb switch even if he had a map.
