Weekend Wrap and "Liked, Learned, Hated" right here -- How did tipping go?
There's no point sacking him now I agree. We'd be left with that idiot Barker coaching us again.I
This club would be the laughing stock of the league if we sacked him this week.
He has not lost the players, the club is not in fact/crisis, and factor in the difficulties with the new COVID outbreak in Victoria (which now seems almost certain to have an extended lockdown period in in Melbourne), sacking Teague now is simply not going to happen.
Wait and see till the end of the season and make an evaluation/decision then.

I'm not sure the optics on that would be too favourableMaybe we should sack Barker first?
Change things up in the coaches box, apply some pressure on Teague.

That's what worries me, in the box it really is as if he isn't watching. Sitting there statuesque... sometimes wonder if it's a weekend at Bernies job with Barker really calling the shots and pulling the strings.The decision to start the fourth quarter with Pittonet in the ruck was terminal. Absolutely bizarre. It's as if he hadn't watched the first 3 quarters.

Agreed...but what happens if that replacement coach is Clarkson?No to removing a coach after 2 years in the job. Do what the successful clubs do and surround the coach with the proper people to help him develop and become successful.
Time for us to behave like a serious football club, not churning through coaches ad Infinitum.

I consider changing me mind.
They can't change support coaches until 2022 so no point ditching David now imho.It would very be surprising if he was sacked this week, but could anybody mount a strong argument that it would be the wrong decision?
By a gazillion.I'm not so sure that Clarkson would be the answer to anything. I'd be very hesitant about creating another Malthose situation.
Clarkson is a saviour move. I’d prefer to do as gab213 said and surround Teague with competent assistant coaches. We been through 8 coaches in 21 years? Parkin, Brittain, Pagan, Ratts, Malthouse, Barker, Bolton, Teague. That’s less than 3 years a coach. You don’t build success by changing the coaches every 2-3 years. It’s a recipe for disaster.Agreed...but what happens if that replacement coach is Clarkson?

Time for Lloyd to step in and make sure some change occurs, even if the personnel remain the same for the rest of the season. We’re going backwards.They can't change support coaches until 2022 so no point ditching David now imho.

How does Liddle earn his spot when he employed his mate to head our football department? The clubs core business is football and he has failed dismally. Liddle selected Teague, Lloyd, Russell, Agresta, Worsfold etc.I really hope Luke Sayers and Liddle at end of the season do a full review. I think there’s a lot of changes need to be made in our footy department.
Brad Lloyd - Gone.
Hasn’t turned over the assistants or done a review when changes have needed to be made for several years. Gave Andrew Russel to much power. Was far to late identifying development uplift. Teagues needed help for a few years and his solution is a part timer who lives in another state.
-Possible replacement - Justin Leppitch. Experienced football man in numerous roles and had success as player and coach (Richmond)
Andrew Russel - Gone.
On to much coin and given to much power. He’s unaccountable for his actions. It hasn’t worked. Is he past it? Someone else would get same results on less coin.
David Teague - 50/50. Coaching turnover makes me say stay. Results and lack of improvement make me say go.
As above, hasn’t improved any players. Doesn’t give youngsters experience. Game plan is shocking. Can’t stop a run of goals.
-Possible replacement - Voss
We need a coach with a hard edge and someone who will look players in the eye and demand effort. Would have learned a lot from his time under Hinkley and now ready for a second chance. I think he would need quality assistants around him but as the focal person I think he would be good.
Barker, Bruce, Stanton, Amos - Gone
All been around a while and a full turnover is needed. We need experienced assistants from successful programs and are highly rated.
Midfield - Joel Corey
Midfield strategy - Nigel Lappin
Backline - Chris Newman
Forward - Craig Macrae
It’s alarming but only really Liddle has earnt his spot. Membership is up and we are strong off the field.
Everyone in the footy department is on notice in my opinion.
I know he has a laconic style but he seems quite lazy in his approach, which ultimately rubs off on the players.
We all guess on here. Just my perception... maybe lazy is harsh. Results speak for themselves, somethings obviously lacking because we simply don’t work hard enough when the game is on the line.How could you possibly know that? Seems like guesswork.
There were massive red flags in round 2, and we seem to have done absolutely nothing to address them.
Ok, take out Barker... look at the successful coaches. How long have they been at their respective clubs? At what point in their respective careers were they looking down the barrel of a gun in regards to their continued employment?21 is oddly specific.
If you make it 20 and don't include Barker (because I have no idea why you would include a caretaker coach) then it's roughly 3 and a half years per coach. That's a respectable amount of time, especially when one of those coaches essentially sacked himself and never wanted to be there in the first place.
This is an issue in itself. CEO is tied to these appointments, we need sweeping changes, massive conundrum.How does Liddle earn his spot when he employed his mate to head our football department?

Absolute disaster!!
There were many red flags last year and we did SFA over the off season to address them
