Haven't started coach interviews...

But coach searching? I have serious doubts we haven't been talking to them and lining them up. There's just no way we'd sit back and wait till the end of the season to reach out to Clarko and Lyon when they would be in demand.
Taking “Expressions of Interest”:p
 
Welcome Wagon might be a little thin if it's Team Lyon.
I have a long long nose and I get the feeling you nose something.

So was Papley, Shiel and of course Pavlich.

I loved the trade period where we were going to get everyone including ****ing Beyoncé and we ended up getting Pittonet!
 
The review wasn’t put in place to evaluate Teague, although there would be plenty of discussion around his coaching.

At the end of the day the club wasn’t putting up wins, so you have to start adding some controls. Maybe there was actually a plan to have a review done at the end of the year but the performances dictated that we needed to bring it forward.

Teague isn’t the only one affected by a string of poor performances. The club put a clear target to make finals this year, and it became apparent pretty early on in the season we are still not at the required level. Calling an immediate review of the entire club was a great move, and it will hopefully help to shape the club in years to come.

A great move? Should they have not already done and end of year review the year before or did they not even bother? The review is just another attempt to take away focus from the real culprits. For the club to even say they were finals bound just shows how clearly delusional they are. No way in any shape or form did i see this list making finals. Why make the review so public? Why even call one mid year? It was a shocking move and just caused more instabillity in an already unstable club. Years to come? That is all i have heard for the last 20 years. Start a rebuild which should of been the moment they got everything right but instead it has got worse. There is 1 common theme through all of this.
 
you seen how cooked he is ?

He’s been fine, regained form when Harvey moved him back into the midfield mix and dominated in a couple of games.

Buckley was throwing him all over the field earlier in the year to his detriment.

I don’t think we’d want him but Gold Coast should offer him a year of two and a graduated coaching contract. Elite football mind, really smart guy.
 
You're right we f’ed up badly with the Teague situation and now we're scrambling to get a fix, won't go down the inexperienced coach route again which is very dumb as that's how you win flags.

The worst part about the whole situation its not even a hard thing to try and prevent if you aren't complete ******* idiots as a football club.

Bad enough getting an experienced coach that didn't win one at one club, but two, odds are terrible it'll be the third.

Carlton doing due diligence on anything. :$:$:$:$

Not aimed at you specifically, but I really don't understand why the media bothers supporters so much, its just words guys..

Hardwick, Clarkson , Simpson , Beveridge all rookie coaches when appointed in fact over the past 20 years- only Malthouse and Mathews were appointed as previously experienced coaches, the rest were inexperienced coaches.

Lyon mentioned today on Triple M that part of the reason he wasn't interested in the job at the filth was because he wasn't interest in going through 'the process'. I'm paraphrasing but it implies that we will be making a direct appointment or we haven't had a genuine chat with him at all. I'm thinking the former..

I don't think we will have a process either. We need experience, winning experience, finals experience, preferably flag experience. Ross knows Clarkson is our first choice and if he doesn't take it, he is Plan B.

You don't make Clarkson go through a process. His record speaks for itself. We also know what Ross is all about. It is insulting to get some coaches to join a pool of applicants where they have to answer questions from people who know infinitely less about football than they do. That's the luxury of success.

Essendon and GWS are going to make the finals on 11 wins each. There is a distinct lack of quality in the middle of ladder, and this was going to be the year to launch.

We have been prevented from heading up the ladder due to Teague being unable to get wins in some of the most standard matches of all time, v North Melbourne, v Gold Coast, v half of West Coast. Also not one single big scalp.

There is nothing that needs to be rebuilt. The list management team has put together a capable team, and we are now in year 6 since we announced we’d be resetting the club. We’ve got 3 likely All-Australians and are attracting high quality players on a yearly basis. Our current plight has nothing to do with personnel.

We can argue over the optics, but the club wanted to be transparent and accountable throughout the process. Naturally that is going to spur on media intrigue and opinion.

Liam Pickering seems to be one of the biggest w***ers in the footy industry. At least in my opinion.

He's a money hungry grub who throws his toys out of the cot at the first sign of inconvenience. He has no problem leading clubs on and slapping them in the face at trade time though. It's just the nature of the job, but he seems to have the biggest cat's bum pout of all of them.
 
Would love to see Pendlebury come across. One year playing deal with the opportunity to begin his coaching career at the club in 2023.

We won't do it though.

No, we seem very inflexible as far as taking on older players for a year or two. Just imagine what he could teach our boys.
 
A bit surprised at Russell keeping his job to be honest. We've been anything but high performance. He was supposed to be in charge of physical AND mental fitness.
What if there’s been interference by ‘others’ overriding his overall expertise and final opinion on how certain players should be actually handled properly?

We have one of the worst midfields in the comp and you say we dont need anything. Has been for a long time. They go get Williams to help fix that but how did that turn out? Very few on our list would be able to break into a good side. Sorry but in my opinion this list has a long way to go to be considered a finals side let alone a GF side with sustained success.
