So does Teague miss out, or Bolton?As much as I hate to give the prick credit, Kennett was three years ahead of Gale.
Shows the vagaries of footy, I reckon at least three of them are very good coaches.

Yep. Poor old coaches are just the rancid meaty bit that is easily disposed of when things get difficult. Been proven over and over again that club management needs to be premium, recruiting, coaching, development, fitness n rehab also need to be at premium together. Then of course there's always that little smidgeon of luck n timing also required to create that near perfect scenario of playing finals and chasing flags.As much as I hate to give the prick credit, Kennett was three years ahead of Gale.

On SEN, just heard Dwayne Russell call his final 8 with us at 6th but Ninthton at 9th.
Get ready for the melt calls....
Agreed.Pains me to say this, but we should be fighting Carlton for top 4. No more excuses with their list.
Brittain was arguably the club's big f*** up out of the list.What, Pagan doesn't rate a mention?? Don't forget there was a Brittain n Barker in there as well. Might as well make the most of the last twenty years of Carltony's cooking odours.
Agree BB especially re the Micky Malthouse disaster.Brittain was arguably the club's big f*** up out of the list.
He was a fine coach with a great football brain. Did an apprenticeship under Parkin and learnt from one of the best, but unfortunately when the drums started beating in 2002 amid an injury-riddled season, he was quickly tipped out by Jack, whose ruthless approach had worked in a bygone era.
Jack goes and gets Pagan and the rest is history.
It didn't help Brittain that he never played at the highest level either, but despite winning the spoon in 2002, the young list had a crack.
It's a shame Brittain never got another go at AFL senior coaching and it's a brutal business.
Can understand Pagan, Malthouse, Bolton and Teague getting the bullet as they'd well lost the players. They all come back to initial bad appointments in the first place through a lack of process.
Ratten falls into the Brittain category - one bad season and he was gone, all to go and get a premiership coach well past his best. History repeated itself.
Barker never got the bullet - he was caretaker in 2015 and threw his hat in the ring for the full-time gig but lost to Bolton.
Do we have any former carlscum officials working for us ? If anyone knows about paper bags getting passed around joe……..
I hope he's right.
Didn’t he tip the Bombers to win the flag last year?
Senile old fool.
Need to remember this come September. Malthouse.
In the same box as SheedyDidn’t he tip the Bombers to win the flag last year?
