News David Teague - Training wheels OFF

[Jimthegreat]

Interesting choice, our forwardline is an absolute shambles.

Still, good luck and all the best David!

Teague's was excellent as a forwards coach with Adelaide, terrific assistant at the Eagles and took a very average Northern Bullants side to consecutive Grand Finals. He was the entire reason why McGovern came to Carlton after working with him at Adelaide.

Being a forwards coach at Carlton would be an impossible job given the s**t that comes into the F50. How do you coach to that?

 

[Pablito]

Good luck to him.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

If we lose every game for the rest of the year, I hope the club acknowledges it’s been a bigger issue than coaching this year.

Goodluck to Teague. Let’s go Blues.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

Let’s hope it wasn’t Teague who inspired the game plan of “kick it to Gibbons” when we played the Suns, and “kick it to Silvagni” when we played the Saints

and kick it to fasolo/heppell yesterday.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Let's see if David has anything different up his sleeve and can put a alternative structure/plan together, especially with the forwards. That is all I want to see from DT.

 

[Carl Tone]

No pressure on Teaguey
He isnt expected to win. It just takes the spotlight off the club and the young list.
He might surprise us all. Sranger things have happened.
The fact his name isnt John Barker helps.

The release has been provided.
Teague, use the corridor!

Emotions will be high. I expect an 8 goal win.

Thinking back to something that came out of Richmond's flag year - recall some of their players crediting a change in mindset from playing set roles, to each player doing what they do well. If their strength was chasing and tackling, do that well. If their strength was taking big marks, do that well. If their strength was running their opponent ragged, do that well. I think that needs to be where we're at for a while - let the players re-learn what weapons that have that make them an AFL footballer, and then structure the 22 in a way that best uses those weapons.

it would be a lot easier to maximise our players' strengths than minimise their weaknesses......

He can structure all he likes but if the skills are poor won’t matter at all.

I want DT to focus on that for the next three months. Not the gameplan. For that he can just let them run and play with effort. I want him to focus on the basics, tackling, kicking and marking.

The relief it aint Barker is the number one thing on my mind here! Hopefully Barker can see the writing on the wall and move on... he can't surely be under a 4th Blues coach.

 

[jj1978]

One positive is he as a player had that same Clarko vibe... lets see if it translates.

It was kick to Fasaolo yesterday when it was still dry.

The structure has been most of the problem tbf. The players are never where they need to be. I've wondered on here a few times as to how much of that was actually Teague and how much was Bolton emphasising his defensive style. We'll find out soon I suppose!

 

[RedFury]

give him 5 games, give Amos 5 games, give me 1.

You can have the Geelong game at GMHBA. Win by get within .. 10 goals and you'll be under consideration.

Edit: Blue_Balls beat me to it.

 

[Bazz_27]

FWIW the crows really felt Teague's departure and I think he will be a good interim coach. Depending on who is available he could even become your next permanent coach- has some serious footy smarts about him. Good luck to him for the rest of the year, I like hanging it on Carlton with good banter between mates and family who support you but I hope you guys turn it around in the near future.

 

[Bringbackeddie]

David Teague has the full support of the board.

Good luck son.

I personally thought Teague can coach given when he was at the Crows our forward line functioned insanely well, soon as he left things changed. It's always hard to know because of what's happening up the ground with ball movement, pressure etc. Then there's the players experience level and what the overall game plan is. Will be interesting to see how you go with him for half a season.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Christ the pitchfork crew are already out to Sack Teague ...

you campaigners are beauties you really are …….

I'll let you off this time, there's a loooot of content to catch up on today!

Give him two weeks. Hopefully we snag a win from the dead cat bounce.

Then sack him and appoint Amos .. double dead cat bounce!

 

[Bordertoon]

Would have gone Amos personally but happy to see Teague have a go, Barker would have been more of the same.

 

[dumb]

good luck. be interesting to see how differently the side plays (tactically and in general) and what might come of that.

 

[The Coach]

Being a forwards coach at Carlton would be an impossible job given the **** that comes into the F50. How do you coach to that?

Well on Sunday you could have started with "Charlie and Harry start in the forward 50 but apart and remember to keep returning there, when one leads/leaves the other stays in the 50"

 

[rampar]

In that order?

Don't like your long term career prospects after coaching us against the Cats at GMHBA...

RIP rampar.

nice find... I'll back the process and assume the cats rest up and concede
