Looks like I may have got the names wrong but if you google Carlton coach 1994 or something like that you will eventually discover that Parkin himself thought he was gone after straight set losses in '94 and this is when he came up with the plan to empower playing groups.

I thought I remember in an interview sometime he mentioned the job was offered to two alternates but they didn't want it. I thought those two were Lyon and Brereton but, as someone pointed out, they were still playing at the time so probably wasn't them. Although I think Brereton finished in '96 so we could have been trying for an early retirement.

Might be totally wrong on all this but is just a memory that I have for some reason.

Brereton was spoken to at the end of 1997 after Richmond beat us in last round and we missed finals.

Was offered the job, Jack wanted Allan Jeans to mentor him as well.

Dermott declined and Parko stayed on until 2000 and orchestrated one of the smoothest mentoring/hand overs to Wayne Brittain in the end.

More than 3500 posts and nothing's changed

We are still crap

Parko believes he would have been replaced at the end of 94 had Lyon, Brereton or Healy accepted after the 94 season.

15:20 of this interview

Thanks mate.

 

[Smegger]

John Worsfold of course.

What did Cripps say this morning?

Referring to content from this post

‘Respect for one another’: Captain Cripps goes into bat for embattled Carlton coach

Cripps goes into bat for embattled Carlton coach day after manager’s scathing assessment

www.foxsports.com.au

I really think Cripps would have used weaker terms or spoken in a more indirect fashion, if there was a real relationship issue with DT. On the face of it, makes the reactions in here seem even more OTT.

 

[myblueroan]

Could this be a PR play where the club and Clarkson don’t want a media shitstorm looking as though Clarkson has stolen Teague’s job?

Step 1- Sack Teague tomorrow. Give him the “respect” the media wants.
Step 2- Clarko does a backflip over the weekend and decides he wants to coach again
Step 3- Clarko announced as Carlton coach next week

He has done a few backflips already this season…

If it’s not happening, then Lyon please. Any other option would be a disaster IMO.

My mind went there too.
If only.

 

[footyfan1978]

This is the quietist I can remember this club ever being. Both officially and in terms of leaks. It’s remarkable

Yep, this late in day is surprising. If Liddle and Lloyd were gone at minimum, it surprising not heard anything yet either directly or on grapevine about it.
I got excited they were goneski, now I got no idea what the "it is happening and more" actually meant when it seemed strongly hinted that was on the cards today in some form as an announcement. I did not really care about Clarko but I did care people that need to go, were going...
Maybe it gone all legal on how pay outs are negotiated for such people and this why not hearing much, yet...

 

[Dominator_7]

Nobody knows exactly what’s going on inside the club, so why so quick to jump on the idiot media’s narrative of ‘the club is a laughing stock’. Let Barrett/Browne/Whately/Ralph etc talk crap all they want.

 

[Bostonian]

Seems this is a lot of people's vibe right now...

Why are so many so keen to throw SPS away like he was steak knifes? Cerra worth pick 6 AND SPS? - BS. Sammy was taken at pick 6 ( for good reason ) and has shown he is a terrific user who can find targets - he could be a serious asset to us with a new coaching structure and an augmented tank. Teague has always played him out-of-position - we did not draft him as a back flanker but that's where he has been forced to play. To me that's an indictment on Teague and another reason he has to go. The kid has class and I for one want to keep him as a Blue not turf him out as discounted cutlery. Tell Freo they can have Teague and a late first for Cerra: take it or leave it.

he finds targets - between 8 and 13 metres away - can't and won't kick over a jam tin

 

[jj1978]

Teague has gone





home for the day.

 

[ctwenty1]

Teague has gone

but will he back







in the morning?

 

[gandaal]

Such a bizarre situation the club is putting itself into. Why do we always handle this stuff badly?

Consultation periods usually a requirement when a restructure occurs.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

I don't know how you can categorically state that Teague will know his future by now. My experience, in particular in moving managers out, is that they are usually pretty much frog marched out to reduce any fallout. We even had someone change the password on all our computers just because he thought he was getting sacked. Not sure it's any help having someone conducting player reviews who knows he has been sacked.

Who else can do the interviews.... Its a proper process that happens after a review. If Teague behaves poorly like you're suggesting is the reason passwords are changed etc then he'll play himself out of the industry. 'kicking and screaming' doesn't go down well when looking for a new job. Your experience seems narrow. I've seen both happen and in football I'm inclined to believe they're trying to keep the club running and smooth whilst plans are made.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Perhaps yesterday's itk musings were traps by Sayers to find out who is leaking info?
And today a few board members or staffers are explaining how stuff only they were told has got out.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

We should swap Pick 6 for Pick 7 then. Let some else pick the dud at Pick 6 and we'll take the star at Pick 7 !!

Hey, I don't create history.
Google 'AFL pick 6' and the first option that comes up is AFL pick 6 curse.
Have a look at the history of pick 6: https://www.draftguru.com.au/picks
The least average games of the whole top 20. We currently have two on the list, plus Yarran from the past and one in the hand for this year's draft. Samo has bucked the trend by getting to 93 games, but looks on the outer. Marchy can't get on the park, playing 48 games in 7 years.
I just don't see the point in drafting a kid with a 'cursed' pick and hoping they turn out to be a Cerra type for the next 10 years (while completely bucking the trend of previous pick 6s), when we could literally have Cerra for the next 10 years.

Yes, annoyingly so, if you not involved...lol

We couldn't possibly be doing anything right! We're carlton!

 

[BlueZombie]

That's your opinion and I have mine. From where I'm standing the kid has never been backed in by our coaches. And whether you like it or not he has class. Anyway everybody's entitled to their opinion.

What’s the history like when pick 6 gets pushed out to pick 8.....

That's because we usually have it

 

[Fernando2Gibbs]

Still think Clarko will eventuate, but we are running a process. Those of you who want swift action (media included) need to chill out. This is a thorough process that needs to be followed. People are losing their jobs and their lives are being severely affected. It's being treated seriously.

Media's is just pissed that they lost their news for the week. Sayers' will make sure this runs its course the RIGHT way and not the quick way - CERTAINLY not to appease journos.

Reckon you can believe exactly what you like but in that statement you are stating a thought as a fact which is what I was getting at.

BTW I wouldn't make an assumption about another posters experience either were I you.

But it wasn’t only the media? It was a direct statement from Clarkson’s agent?
