Oh yeah he also wrote about us not making finals 3 years in a row after winning the flag... that went well.

I honestly thought he'd go there with the news of Betts likely going to Carlton as well. I figure that would be a pretty big selling point for the Blues even though he's at the end of his run. No big deal if he goes there though, it'd be nice but it's not like we lose anything.
I'd rather go for Keath personally.
But isn't the very fact they are looking at a cream on top player like Martin suggest that they are still getting ahead of themselves?
Carlton may play in Blockbusters but we can offer finals footy and the chance of a premiership. I'd know what I'd prefer to be playing in. One house and plenty of premiership medals beats owning numerous houses.
The problem is the people at the top still believe they are a top club, until they come down to earth and realise you can’t rest on your laurels of 20 odd years ago and need to replace higher up ( which is themselves ) they will be forever chasing their tail.
Melbourne, Essendon much the same, need big culture change.

Jack Martin
“He was in Melbourne this week. I think the Dogs are leading the race over the Blues at the moment, especially if the Blues move happens (bringing in Betts which he expects to happen). It would be tough to see them bringing both in.”
I've met Teague a few times early on and he's a really switched on guy who in our brief discussions discussed football on a different level to what I've heard. Sure, you'd get the same from any senior or assistant coach now, but remember, he went through the Phil Walsh issue, has won a B&F while playing at two clubs, and has done a lot of assistant coaching miles over time. He's ready.
There's genuinely no more training wheel issues or whatever than what came with Clarkson when he started coaching (even though Clarkson on his first night on Talking Footy decided to wear shorts and I thought he was a dickhead because of it).
Hey Jack if you're reading ignore yesterday's game we're still gonna be good I promise
