Obviously Pagan was dealt a bad hand but he only knew one way to coach and wouldn't change his style which didn't help when we had so many kids.

The way Malthouse behaved when things started going wrong was terrible. How many of our players have good things to say about him?

Had a bad list? He had Judd, Gibbs, Murphy, Kruezer, Simpson amongst others still playing. Not exactly bottom of the barrel stuff.

Behaved like a spoilt child agree, we finished last in 2015 and have been down the bottom since, we needed to go full rebuild because the list was very bad, I’d call that the definition of a bad list.
 
Teague will stay on for next year at which time Clarko will sign with Carlton for 2023 and beyond
Is this something you heard B.B?

Let's stop with the coaching nonsense and get down the big issue - Why can't Teaguey get his hair right? Long or short it's just never any good.

Left hand side definitely a better look almost there - definitely needs to consider getting his good wife become familiar with the #4 all over buzz cut or even better the #2 all over like my better half does for me every couple of weeks. Saves me $50 bucks and half an hour of scissor futzing at the hairdressers and having to make small talk. :thumbsu:
 
I like Teaguey as a person - if he can get the team focused more on the defensive aspects of the game, reward performance, play blokes in the positions they are most likely to succeed in and get some help with in game match ups and rotations - no reason he can't be a ten-year coach at Carlton and pick up a flag or two. It is a big job being coach of Carlton - and I hope he shows enough in the run home to stay.
 
I really liked when Teague got appointed as he was the underdog. But the results have been fair at best.
Carlton should do everything to get Clarkson. He will turn Carlton into a tough, hard team.
 
Hope not..
Because that would be the wrong thing to do..

Either back Teague long term or sack him.. If we miss out on Clarkson so be it..
It's time for the club to start making strong decisions and not being dictated to by players and coaches..
Ironically it was the players who sealed the job for Teague after Bolton was sacked. Live by the sword .... etc
We hate transparent and methodical process at Carlton, unfortunately I see no evidence that will change anytime soon.
 
To state the obvious "Dennis Pagan to carlton a success". That's an interesting rewriting of history.

Sure he was dealt a bad hand that he wasn't to know about but it could hardly be termed a success.

Careyless he was shown for what he was, a good junior coach pretty much bereft of ideas apart from giving one of the best players of all time space up forward.
Jesaulenko was a good coach, premiership in his second year, did it from the centre square

Led the team onfield no doubt, while Lofts was making the moves from the coaching box. He inspired his mates onfield and they followed him. As mentioned before he also put fear into them on the training track but a match day coach he wasn't. Jezza was never the same as a coach when he was doing it from the coach's box full time.

Papers stamped tonight
If they aren’t stamped then they should be. The entire club, but especially the playing group, needs a wholesale change in coaches and coaching.
Its obvious that Hawthorn will let him go. They are rebuilding and Mitchell wants to take over now. And Kennett wants that too.

More of a reader than a poster but feeling compelled to offer my 2c here...

Disappointing result today, but I feel like those criticising Teague and labelling him an 'incompetent' coach haven't really considered the way he has addressed our most apparent deficiencies over his tenure. Consider the main criticisms of Carlton circulating the media since he's come on as HC...

"Carlton can't kick a winning score"- Teague comes on and we start kicking winning scores
"Carlton's slow starts are costing them games"- Teague adjusts and now we're starting well but fading late.
"Carlton's 5+ goal runs against are costing them games" - How many 5+ goals runs against have we had in 2021? Don't have the stats on this but the eye test tells me this has been mitigated significantly (particularly compared to other teams in the comp).
"Carlton's team defensive is poor & costing them games"- Even despite the result today, the last 3 weeks are looking much more promising on this front. Time will tell (if we let it and don't push Teague out prematurely).

All of this suggests to me that Teague has great capacity to acknowledge key deficiencies and implement effective solutions even WITHIN a season (very hard to do). The obvious issue here is implementing effective solutions without disrupting balance and tipping the scales in other areas. I personally feel pretty confident that Teague can get this in time if we allow this club some consistency (for once) and don't act impulsively/prematurely.
 
I am so tired of watching players who by default seem to work under the paradigm of kicking to a virtually static target. We are not a physically imposing team against most sides, we are not a quick team currently, but we have decent users and a good endurance base on paper.

We should be seeking to work our oppoonents over with smart, calculated running to shake the zone loose and put the ball out in front of those running at or away from the ball carrier as an option.

People are blasting Setterfield (who should not have been played if it was just going to be as a wingman without a real job), but in the scope of the lacksidasical way he presented at the ball carrier, he was far from alone. When players shifted from this paradigm, they would get burnt by the kicker, who had zero feel for how to put the ball out in front of them.

I put forward that we don't actually train to hit moving targets outside of F50 drills (i.e. straight line run at the ball carrier), and it shows in our kicking skills. If we do, then we need to rework those drills.

There's been an explosion in the overall quality of our handballing since Barker was sacked, and now it needs to be brought to our kicking.
