News Woosha back at Carlton in a Consultancy Role

[Gethelred]

Needed to happen but wouldve preferred Lyon. Could've helped bring a harder edge and a better defensive mindset.

Depends what he's doing. If he's coaching, then I agree, but the way the position is outlined he's not coaching so much as providing advice and mentorship.

And, if we're talking about people I'd prefer, it might be heresy but Neil Balme would've been a better get.

I think this can only be a positive.

 

[JustaBattler]

They cant get Cripps to commit - so they announce a very part-time consulting role which might include being at 2 games at some stage instead- classic spin.

sorry to be so cynical.

They worked together at Adelaide when Worsfold went on after Phil Walsh died

DT probably needed some advice and someone to call him out from time to time. If we put in Ross Lyon who clearly still has ambition to coach it would have been seen as undermining DT and put additional pressure on him where Woosha no longer harbours this desire so can just play a role supporting Teague.

 

[Stephene]

businesses bring in consultants all the time so no need to worry...he has a track record as a player and a coach so I'm sure he has skills that could benefit us

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Does calling him a consultant allow us to pay him outside of the soft cap?

Good appointment

Did good things for the Essendon FC in his first couple of years there. Think he's still got a fair bit to offer in the kind of role we're offering and at absolute worst will have a couple of fresh ideas to bring to the table.

I do think the club is using him as a bit of a go between and will be providing some specific feedback on how he perceives Teague as a coach, and what he's got to work on/if he's the right guy to take a middle-of-the-road team into the finals. Has some big development wins as a coach too - Merrett/Daniher/Saad all become very good players under his tutelage.

Could also be complete window dressing - seems like a free hit though.

Bloke must hate his family.

Yeah, thought he would have returned to Perth

This is good news, what we need, might push for some wise decisions.

Neil Craig was good to have around, and hopefully Woosha is too. Lets see if things improve.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

He’s a consultant brought in for a coaching review, I doubt he’s actually coaching

Sounds like the Henry Playfair's abortive 'coaching performance' role

Covid really ****ed us a bit.

We're not alone there, but that doesn't stop it from being true.

Perhaps this was a Juddy SOS call

 

[Wickzki]

Woosha will be our interim head coach within the month.


Source: Absolutely nobody and no Teague will not be sacked or resign.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Amateur hour decision, we need someone who can fully tell it how it is, someone who can help teach Teague and others in actually making the hard “easy” calls... not another close working friendship from the past, can’t believe we have gone down this path...

If we lose to both * and Hawthorn with a non competitive showing, it's a big possibility

I don’t have a problem with it at all, call the appointment whatever you want but to me it’s about gaining an independent review through the eyes of someone who is in a position to know and understand the nuances of the modern game. He’ll report back to the board no doubt with an informed position of what’s right and what’s wrong, areas you just cannot expect the majority to know, they’re mostly businessman not professional footballers.

There’s nothing wrong with Constant review and change until you find the magic potion. I’d be more concerned about inaction, which is what effectively happened for 15 years.

The board are also doing reviews on list management and development programs, they’re not leaving any stone unturned to make the club great again.

What happened to Robert Walls?

 

[juzz88]

O... kay...

That came out of nowhere.

In any case, good luck to Woosha. Go Blues!

 

[jj1978]

Woosha I hear is wishing to lighten up the mood of the coaching team and has decided he will commence his tenure with us with 100 days of games.

Day 1's game consists of a picture based puzzle;
