News David Teague - Training wheels OFF

[Moody Blue]

Happened in both games. Remember we were getting smashed against the Lions.

Can't help thinking that Brisbane will look back at that loss with a lot of regret as the season draws to an end. Could even cost them a finals spot.

Notwithstanding that it's been years since we strung two wins together in a row, I reckon there's a chance that we can go a 3peat before the end of this season.... Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast. Teague will need something like that PLUS not getting flogged by any other side through the end of the year to be in with any sort of chance.

Big run of games coming up for us. Season-defining.

I mean they're all 'big games' at this stage, but after Freo we have Melbourne, Sydney & GC...the 3 teams directly above us on the ladder.

Those 3 games in particular will go a long way to shaping whether we finish last or sneak up into 15-16th at the end of the year.

And could be the difference on whether we land a gun mature player or not, as well as who our coach is for 2020.

After listening to David Teague on SEN. I was really impressed with his honesty, clear message and genuine belief in the players. With utmost respect for Bolton, this could be a blessing in disguise.
I love the message of letting the players play to their strengths. Break the shackles. We have 3 great forwards, lets keep them deeper and use them. He is genuinely excited about tomorrow's game.
Come on Blues. Let's get this train back on track.

This quote is great cos you get 6 goals down and then you start pumping. It’s generally up to on field now, no runners.
Ebbs and flows and you’re within less than a kick.
Embrace the flow.

How good is Teague eh?
Great coaching.
No star forwards
And no Crippa.
Great comeback.
He coached the 2nd q way better than the old dinosaur.
Just saying.

 

[LemmingMaster]

He is just a lot better game day coach than Bolton.

Just simple things like Curnow, JSOS and a few other players playing in certain positions. It also seems that when another team has a run going, we manage to stop the run and get the game on our terms again.

A win like this without our tall forwards and star midfielder is a huge result and shows our day is coming.

 

[La Dispute]

Putting together a serious case now.

2 wins against teams in the 8, the team are far more cohesive across the field, and I've liked the development in our bottom ten players. JSOS, LOB, Setterfield etc are developing really well.

With a no other decent coaches available, and a godfather offer needed to pry one of Clarkson, Longmire or Lyon, would offering Teague a 2-year contract be the worst option?

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

I've seen enough. Offer him a 5 year deal today.

Yes, very much so.

 

[myblueroan]

Superb effort.
Well done Teaguey.

[Blue and Silver]

A bit of water left to go under the bridge, but I am struggling to see why we'd let him go.

Def need some line coach upgrades though...

I'm not sure my heart could last a full season of Teague coaching us if these results are anything to go by but my god, for a bloke who's as cool as ice for the entire game he's brought some swagger back to this club.

 

[The Fantom]

PEeK Teague...

 

[ESKIE]

He’s putting a case forward that’s for sure, players clearly like him, loved seeing him in with the players singing

Watch Lyon's press conference... He's a shattered man. No mean feat to make Ross the Boss suffer PTSD after a game.

All signs point to #DT2020

 

[Mondyboy]

I’ve liked him from his first press conference. I’ve liked that he speaks naturally, but still calm and measured. I like that he has a game-day brain. I like that the players love him.

Three games don’t make a career but we could do so much worse, especially if we’re seriously looking at handing the keys to Brad Scott.

Sort of caps off a perfect day really.

Can someone make a DT Jesus style photo.. one like the CJ is JC style chosen one a few years back?

If he continues the way he is going it might just be the best option. We should be improving over the next 2 years but not expected to be competing for a flag. We know the type of person and coach he is and the style he wants to implement and have seen the workings of some of it this season. We also know the relationship he has with the players.

In 2 years time when we should be hitting our straps list wise to be real contenders, if Teague hasn't come along as we hoped then bring in an experienced head coach and hope they aren't Malthouse 2.0.

 

[TBellicious]

If we do happen to go with someone else, I pray that we keep him on as an assistant

 

[I bleed Blue]

I said 5 he was right in the conversation.

That's 2. 3 of the last 8 and I'm all for giving him the job.

I know it's early days, but if we continue roughly along our current form-line with Teague, and North continues it's form without Scott - swapping Teague for Scott would need some serious mother******* justification.

I'm wondering if the last month has changed the reasonably oft-held opinion that Scott was extracting just about everything one could expect from an ordinary list. After watching them obliterate and frankly, bully Collingwood the other day, was it actually the coach making the list look so ordinary?

Good point. Reece is helping Teaguey's cause.

Most under rated move he made today was putting sps up forward in the 2nd
