Borrowed this from Facebook. Interesting comparison and needs a more detailed analysis, but you could argue he may have had more to offer.

Dimma n Clarko both took over clubs with their on field arses hanging out n rebuilt from the ground up.

Teaguey took over a club where the board believed they already had more than enough very early draft picks to be contending. They then went out n topped up on very expensive players with the expectation of guaranteed finals.
Obviously cracked the *smile* when they hit stagnant instead.

Personally, I’ve had a really shitfull week. One of the worst weeks that I can remember. It’s been so bad that its going to make me say some words that I never ever thought would come out of my mouth, ever. My hatred for the scum is well known and runs deep so hopefully people will appreciate the magnitude of the following words coming from me. Right. Here goes. Thank you Carlton. ( I feel so dirty now) Thank you for bringing me a little bit of joy in my week. Actually, the only joy so far ( Geelong losing would bring me a bit more). Watching the circus unfolding at princess park brings a smile to my face. Seeing the clowns running the circus reminds me of the bad old days at our club. The days when we were so delusional that we believed we were only a win or two from being good. A decent player or two from making the finals. Chopping and changing coaches without giving them a chance to implement something that might lead to long term success. Cutting them when we didn’t make finals. Thinking all we needed was a big name coach to win a flag the next season or two. As long as the back room boys, coterie members and the blues mafia manipulate everything behind the scenes, treating the club like it’s their own personal plaything, you will be wallowing in mediocrity for years, if not decades, to come. I hope so. Please keep it up. I need this happiness to keep me going at the moment.
If you guys believe Lyon is going to be your saviour you are all dreaming. Yes, he made finals with 2 clubs. They had better lists than you. He doesn’t build a list for long term success. He squeezes everything he can with what he has at hand. Have a look at how he left the lists at st kilda and freo.
Keep it up. Please

On the topic of buzzwords ...

I work in IT (itself a buzzword - in the old days I was a computer programmer). I support a mainframe software product which is the best part of 50 years old. All those of us who support it are between 55 and 65. We are surrounded by managers and people in customer-land who are a generation younger and speak a different language. The transcript of a recent support case (or should I say "ticket"?):
A colleague: "Please send me the trace file".
Customer: "It is attached to this message. Hope it helps with the RCA."
Colleague: "What's an RCA?".

Now, I was not surprised that she did not know what RCA stood for. Six months earlier, I probably wouldn't have either. But I was a bit surprised that she didn't have the nouse to realize that it probably was a term that we should know and that a decent google search would reveal it.

Root Cause Analysis. Sheesh. There was a time when we could have called it a WTFWW.

Listening to Carlton's new president - sounds like he is completely out of his depth.

Much like the old one then.

Yep, a ticket Reminds me of those old COBOL programmers who came out of retirement to help rewrite enterprise systems about 15 years ago...

Often companies have their own terms so a google search doesn't help much, RCA would turn up a whole lot of things including audio cables.

A company I'm contracting for at the moment - global multinational - has their own TLA (three letter acronym) look up page on their intranet. I pointed out that TLA could also stand for three letter acronym or ten letter acronym but they just ignored me

How would Lyon feel?
Bloos sounded out Buckley.
Imagine if Lyon cracks it and says no.
CFC coaching job is heading into Steve Bradbury territory.

Have you watched Halt and Catch Fire - streaming on SBS - great soppie series on IT and programmers set in the USA - almost finished and loving it.

RCA is big in Health.

Yeah it went on and on and on but H&CF was a good series especially if you are into early pc/software Silicon Valley days

Yep agree copped the blame as a head coach fair enough , but when put to the players they didn't like the criticism lazy , under performing and hot and cold.Loved how he had the balls to have a crack at the club to.Then was released yesterday citing confusion of game plan pathetic.

Richmond won because they concentrate on the positives and on connection.
If your team know your players weaknesses then the other players come to assist them out of weak positions.
Teams want to hold possession and use ball well.
20% of effort gets 80% of reward. Teach strengths.
80% of effort gets 20% of reward.
Fixing weakness takes too much effort.
Dimma has said we don't worry too much about weaknesses, we coach to strengths.

I started with Basic on a 5k telex type PFP5.
Worked on mainframes till early 80's using Cobol. Enjoyed it. Been in music business for last 40 years.

Noticed old MnM gave the Bloosers hierarchy a fair slap in the Hun today. Still living in their pre AFL era of club management.

A white ant being white anted. Disgraceful

So pretty much all their good players liked him and wanted him to stay.

But Cripps said no, he needs to go, so he goes? Is that how it goes?

Operation - Get Teague to Tigerland, followed by Walsh

I’d frame it as consider getting Teague to Punt rd , he’d have to pass an interview process involving Dimma , Livingston, Balme, Xav Clarke , Gale …

teague may have spent too long at the Blues and their non winning culture to be able to take on the Richmond man philosophy and not be able to lead the comp with game plans and tactics

Ed Langdon threw further petrol into the Cartoon fire by criticising Wossy....indirectly.

Wonder how Teague is feeling today with the news the new president had a meeting at Ross Lyon's joint 2 months ago.... allegedly!
Sounds like these two blokes are made for eachother. ...

Gee, you'd love to be in the trenches with Lyon. ... he'd *smile* use you as a step ladder to get out!

It’s how the captains of industry work
