I noted this is the announcement today

At the Crows, Blues and Tigers in 2022, his offensive intellect was widely praised. The late Phil Walsh credited Teague for Adelaide's lethal front half scoring prowess in 2017, and even though his stint at Carlton didn't bring success, his team was unashamedly attacking.

Should we dangle a line as this seems to be a massive weakness in our armamentarium

    We really need to develop some forward movement to advantage, especially when we have the ball around 70 metres out from goal.  So many times we have players looking to pass and all they see is a static half forward line standing in the same space that they should be vacating to allow the big boys to lead into.   They should be working to create more space and clear a path for the bigger bodies guys to lead into....and then run over any defenders that get in the way.   Maybe that's too simplistic but the alternative of just bombing it long to a contest gets a bit predictable.

    Of course we should have a look and I think we're at a stage where our list is crying out for some fresh voices, faces and ideas. 

    New coaches in an AFL environment breathe new energy and are generally a catalyst for renewed notivation and individual growth across a playing list. 

    I think it's one of the most important factors going into next year for us and I think that is absolutely clear from looking at our performances this year.

    While injecting new energy into a team can be invigorating, it's crucial to consider the broader picture. Simply swapping coaches might provide a short-term boost, but it's essential to address the root causes of underperformance.

    New faces can certainly offer fresh perspectives, but relying solely on this approach overlooks the complexities of team dynamics. Sustainable success often hinges on identifying and addressing deeper issues within the group, rather than seeking a quick-fix solution.

    Furthermore, continuity with coaching staff is often overlooked. Building strong player-coach relationships, developing a cohesive team culture, and implementing long-term strategies require time and stability. Numerous examples in sports, such as the sustained success of {insert dozens of options here}😎 , highlight the significance of this factor.

    I don't think the players are bored of the message from Goodwin, nor the 10 months that McQualter has been there...  good to throw some ideas around though M.A.D 😀

    *I can appreciate that once a team has won the premiership, and then not for 3 years - it feels as though time is slipping by, and like the season that is spring, it's time to renew.

    Well said. 

    To be clear, I think it's an important factor, clearly not the only one. And I appreciate the complexities involved within a coaching group and their relationship with a list. 

    I can't help but feel the group needs another McCartney type of figurehead at the club. And one more brainiac/strategist to take our forwardline. 

    But what do I know.

    As always, incredibly insightful Drysdale. 

    Do you actually have an opinion on anything? Or are you incapable of having one? 

    Sure seems like the latter. 

    You don't appear to have a sense of humor.

    I wouldn't be going for David Teague.

    What's Josh Mahoney up to? Would he swallow/sparrow his ego and come back and work alongside Lamb and co in the FD?

    If I’m being brutally honest, we should be doing the same thing with McQualter. Clearly hasn’t worked this year. Teague on the other hand would be a great addition for us and has a proven track record of improving a team’s scoring.

    We need new mids and forwards coaches.

    Rawlings has been our defensive coach for eons, but that’s our least concern atm.

    Rawlings is the coach of the table topping Norwood Football Club in the SANFL.

    Nah don't think so. You know who would be good to get in a few years time. Pendlebury.  He has great leadership skills, is the ultimate professional  & a great player.

    There was talk up here that Corowa Rutherglen Football Club were rumoured for have been into Teagues ear around the mid yeah for a senior coaching gig next year but I barely took notice as he was obviously still with the Tigers.

    Obviously this decision has been on the cards for a while it seems.

    Bit of a step down, huh?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
