Yep, but we're in the position we are because Curnow and Marchbank keep breaking, OMac went down, Pitto is out, Levi has been playing under duress, Macreadie didn't come on, BSoS didn't show enough grunt, Goddard and Moore didn't grab their second chances, Finbar was Finbar....
We haven't been negligent with recruiting talls. We've taken a mix of elite talent at the top of the draft and budget options for depth or longer term development. We've just struggled to keep them on the park and to really develop the later picks.

Good post Arr0w (I’ve only abridged for reading clarity). But I’m interested in your view that Liddle will be told to get back in his lane. Wasn’t he told the same thing after all the dramas with SOS?

Leaked on our side, St Kilda's side, some random who saw a coffee catchup?
Not worth getting worked up about. Carlton are conducting a review, and have spoken with an ex player who is an assistant coach at another club, and will probably speak to dozens of other candidates in the weeks ahead. Some will fly under the radar, others will make the news.
I don't care who we speak to, as long as they're part of a wide net. I don't care if I hear about it or not, as long as the end result is the formation of a team of coaches with a broad and complementary range of skills and personalities.

What do you mean get worked up over?
What do you think I'm here smashing my office
Simply offering my opinion on an opinion forum..
Also there are others that have been mentioned in the media..
My point is they should be sourcing Senior Coaches interest as well..
Just a turn of phrase. "Be concerned about..." may have been more appropriate, or something similar.
How do you know we're not having discreet discussions with senior candidates? Those would naturally be kept much quieter than conversations with assistant coaches given that we've publicly backed Teague to this point. Would create a shitstorm of bad press if it got out that we'd spoken with Lyon or Buckley.
Agree with a majority of that but I was always nervous with the decisions made last year on the back of the list reductions. It was the worst year of development in AFL history for young players and I thought it was a bad idea to get rid of BSOS and Goddard.

When Lloyd was appointed he needed training wheels, not sure much has changed.
Been very underwhelming imo

Representatives of Lyon have been approached. All options on the table.
Think he is in the box seat, if the club replace Teague
I have no doubt his style will improve the team, but unless he has added some bows, would only take us so far.
Might be another phase coach, 3 years

A big issue is the assistants issue coming presumably during the review.
I find it difficult to believe that if Teague stays he doesn't get a big say in who he wants to work with and if he goes - whoever replaces Teague will have to have assistants as well- and they would need to be got after they have all been signed on..
not ideal either way .

Geez the melts will be legendary here if we go for a "proven" coach in Lyon and we're still fringe eight in 2023.
I can confirm this the Lyon camp has been spoken too. Still not a done deal.
You know my thoughts on coaches, but a Lyon gameplan will get us in the 8, from there on, not sure how it would pan out
But the melts will come hard, as Lyon never really promoted youth and left clubs, needing massive overhauls

An experienced mature, hard edged coach is the solution and preferred option, it’s clear and obvious path for the club, after stints from Bolton and Teaugy, unless David can manufacture something sensational from remaining games.
Just like McKay before him
When will we start learning from errors of the past?
When the board is spilled. So never.
I wish Fraser Brown ran a ticket. Is actually a smart bloke.
Shhh don't say that too loudly
Apparently he punched a bloke in the mid 90s
The bigfooty positive crowd doesn't like that
You aren't admitting to being a pessimist are you?
Let me tell you, Brown's thuggery is more prevalent and recent than a single event in the 90's

Cancelled
What's your gut feeling on the players we might add? Either through draft or trade.
Also, which 1-3 players do you think we might lose that will cause melts? The players that came to mind when I read that were Setterfield and Kennedy.
Murphy's a foregone conclusion. I can't see melts if Ed finishes up. Maybe Eddie, as he's been good for a while now. LOB wouldn't raise too many eyebrows, imo. Dow's not going anywhere. SPS shouldn't be either, I hope.
Curious to hear what others think.
