Hmmm David Teague eh?

Is he any good?

I think he was Carlton coach for a little while. But was he involved with Richmond's Premiership success as an assistant coach?

I would rather we approach Cameron Bruce or Justin Leppitsch or Brett Ratten or even Adam Simpson.

    Why?

    Did some cringe worthy press conferences when at the Blues and had the reputation for being too soft on the players.  (Players loved him).

    Teague train was forwards coach with Adelaide in 2017 when they were absolutely rolling. A few things go their way in the grand final and he’s seen as a genius part of a great forward line.

    Things weren’t sustainable at Carlton, they couldn’t defend but the list wasn’t much chop either.

    He went in to Richmond to work with Dimma who bailed on him.

    3 of those people have jobs and the other is getting paid a fortune by the eagles not to coach.

    Teague is exactly who we should hire if we’re looking to play uptempo attacking footy. Chaplin and Bassett can get the defensive game plan right.

    does this mean sloane said no?

    Sloane should be a development coach, leadership mentor and work towards a line coaching job.

    We need someone with more experience as a line coach (along with Bassett)

    Will be mfc interim coach by round 8 the way things are going. 

    I know everyone laughed at your comment but I’m sure they’ll consider someone for the coaching panel that is ready to steer the ship if in the remote possibility Goodwin is sacked mid season. With McQualter gone, Teague would fit that bill.

    Teague is apparently an offensive minded coach which is something we lacked this year.

    zero finals appearances with that list?

    hm....

    To be fair, 'that list' was only half there at the time, with the full wave of the Silvagni mass recruitment of NQRs occurring just before, and then having its impact during Teague's tenure. Carlton had a 2-win season prior to his arrival.

    Walsh, De Koning, McKay and Curnow were all still very young, Cerra and Acres hadn't arrived, and, let's be frank, Carlton even now are very star-dependent and brittle. Their best season since Ratten is 13 wins and a draw, and they only bagged two more wins than us this year.

    Carlton were a mentally broken shambles when Teague took over, while the fans and coteries thought they should be challenging for a premiership because of their 'epic' best 6. It isn't as if he did a Paul Roos turnaround job or anything, but he shouldn't be marked too harshly for managing a 40% win rate with the hand he was given.

    I do think he'd be an excellent, calm and deep thinking assistant coach who might be a very effective word in the ear of Goodwin.

    Any historic connection between them?

    Don't think so. I just feel like Teague has a certain non-threatening persuasiveness which would be priceless for a coach so completely under attack that even as reigning premier people were actively undermining him.

    I'm also starting to find it funny to see a growing picture of the problems at the club coming from practically every direction except the coach, but every faction is keen to keep the coach dangling on a frayed string. That's for another thread but also very much something Teague can relate to.

    Ha! I guess the big risk is Teague will tell Goodwin how much happier he was as soon as he got out of the position of 'head coach of a dysfunctional club'.

    Ball movement is his speciality so makes sense.

    So maybe Teague comes in as ball movement and midfield coach, Bassett to the backs and Chaplin to the forwards. Chaplin was our forward coach when we were the highest scoring team in 2018.

    It then becomes a very different looking game style we're playing, but with better defensive personnel than we had in 2018.

    I think we should have a word to Rutten. Caracella but I think he’s back at Richmond. Would kill for Lappin but little chance. I’d put a line through Leppitsch. 

    I like the idea of Jimmy Allen even if he had about 53 disposals against me.

    Jimmy Allen was a natural ball magnet whatever level he played.

    A gun footballer at suburban/semi professional level.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
