Good point about WC culture. Loved over their. Vile and what they did to BC was a disgrace. No duty of care and didn’t know him when it all got a bit embarrassing.

Malthouse says 100% he does. And every retired coach does but none more so than Williams. Could do worse. Pity we didn’t get as an assistant coach. Exactly what this club needs. Discipline and full accountability for everything on and off field.

All I'll add to this discussion is that I've been happy to give Teague a chance into next year if we replace his support staff.

BUT - if the rumour is true that HE was the one who insisted on keeping the same group at the end of last year when we could've started fresh, the outlook changes entirely.

That has me excited. He would absolutely be the pick for me. Has been to the top of the mountain, has had some time away but still been involved in the game. He's a hard ass and drives incredibly high standards. He wouldn't stand for the efforts Teague's been putting up with. But most of all he's passionate. I imagine he'd be the best chance to stoke the fire in some of our complacent players

I'm happy to give him to the end of the year, but unless we do a complete 180 and finish the last 10 games with at least 6 wins in convincing fashion, there's no way I'd waste another year with him.

I actually don't even really care about the number of wins, but I's want to see him change his game plan, get the team playing to a solid defensive structure and stop leaking so many easy goals. But if he managed to do this, the result would be at least 6 wins with the talent we have on the park

Agree time for a support shake up, Barker has had enough time imo

I think Teague or if someone replaced him would have to keep turning over the list to find those players.

I’ve got a feeling a review at the end of the season will happen.

Will the review be thorough and independent though, or just an internal flick and tick exercise from the outgoing Pres?

Hopefully the former, I mean what is the point in the later?

Agreed. Self-preservation of those currently employed, I suspect

Probably what Simpson did without Josh Kennedy and Oscar Allen. Improvise.
We're all at sea. The players have no sustainable system to follow. So we kick it long to Cripps. Even if he has 4 players on him.
I can understand the frustration of supporters. We have followed and financially propped up the club for the best part of 20 years of absolute rubbish. Finally we saw a real rebuild with a willingness to cut the list severely, to bring in youth and to commence another generation of young stars. 6 -7 years later, the club is telling us the time is now and the team is playing superficial, defensively unsustainable football.

Teague fails to understand the correlation between offensive and defensive footy. He was asked about us conceding multiple goals in runs a few weeks ago. His answer was to continue attacking instead of going back into our shells. How about implementing a defensive system that slows the oppositions momentum instead continuing to bomb it long?
Hopefully the players have more faith in Teague than I do. He looks and sounds totally bereft of ideas. He seems well out of his depth.

As for replacements, surely people are taking the piss with Mark Williams? He's a loose cannon. He is good value at Melbourne because they keep him on a leash. Have people not learnt their lessons from Malthouse and Pagan.
Look to the future. Go back and watch how Box Hill decimated our VFL team with a bunch of no name players. Personally, as I said several weeks ago, I'd chase Sam Mitchell.

Doesn’t he also have a kicking school with what he brings to the Dees? Could do worse that the garbage we have now.

Defense.


If we get to a game again this year in Victoria, the crowd should just start chanting it like an NBA game.

One word will be Teague legacy as a coach, in a negative way.

Time to try different things that midfield is not working.

Throw Docherty and Stocker in the middle

Let Walsh be a roaming playmaker has the engine to get to most contests.

He's had 18 months to try something and it's most likely going to be Cripps at Half Back with Betts there also.
Everyone else has had a go down back he even put Curnow down there.

Gameplan needs to be altered or change.

Playing breakneck speed footy is ok for the players we have and squeeze aggressively but we are defensively too leaky.

We don't win enough clearances and setting up behind the ball is way off.

I don't know why we need to wait. And review should be happening now.

The year is done.

Review everything, now. We have two weeks and by the end of the two weeks we should have everything in place or moving towards the right direction so that everyone , come day 1 of pre season is on the same track.

I don't want to start pre season by interviewing and reviewing ..

Imagine mark williams type and leppa walking into the club , we will automatically improve and that’s just 2 with premiership success behind them
