Yuge.
And fantastic that we don't have to endure any more crap about what other clubs will offer him, "why hasn't he signed?", yada yada...

To be fair Bolton had an incredible young list, Pagan a destroyed list, Ratten I think got a lot out of the list (in hind sight), Malthouse tried to change a toxic culture and lost the players.
Teague had a list to work with and couldn’t make it work. Was it his lack of coaching ability, his stubbornness to change or get the right people around him or was it power brokers at the club undermining him?
I don’t know. What I do know is that for the first time in some 20 odd years he did have some semblance of cattle and he did under utilise the list. I don’t think that is debatable.
The list did not progress anywhere near what was expected and the years under his coaching were a waste.
The reason I say that is if you say look at Brisbane under the right sort of coach for th3 right time they have made massive improvements in 2-3 years.
I firmly believe we now under Voss will make massive strides.
is the right coach for the right time.
I was a Teague supporter and have nothing against him as a person, awesome human being who in the end got shafted by the club.
but the more I see our troops now, the more I believe it was an absolute necessity that it was done.
club is light years ahead now then it would have been doing nothing.
thx to the most part by Sayers … I dare say our ex president was just as useless as Teague in the top job.

Maybe the 5 goal runs were just an easy pot shot but the feel from outside the club was that things just were not working under Teague.
Cant say he didn’t have terrible luck with COVID and everything that came about because of it. Injuries too didn’t help. If I thought that was it and that his style and ability were not holding us back I would have fought for him to stay on. Writing was on the wall though …. we have learnt now through snippets here and there that the coaching group as a whole was a bit of a dogs breakfast, not even possessing the ability to give the players unilateral coaching direction.
That is a massive no, no in my book and a firm reason why we continually saw a breakdown on field. Players were completely confused as to what to do and when to do it. Too many mixed messages and not enough strong, focused direction.
that’s on Teague

In the end you just wanted to shoot bambi and end his misery. Just became downright awkward in the end to watch.

Maybe, I don’t think so, but if we did we would have been smoked in the first week. Our style and gameplay were severely lacking for finals football and mixed messages from the co@ching group would have been the final nail.
No point just making up the numbers.
if other club’s success has taught us anything its that those that administer the club, those that coach it and those that play for it all need to be moving in the same direction to garner success.
Finally now we have that, under Teague and for as long as I remember we have not.
Maybe not Teague’s fault for that but I am championing Sayers for finally righting the ship.

Completely agree, was a sheet show of an appointment at every level …. Listened to the two groups that should never be listened to … the fans and players …. the players should have a small say, as they are in the mix but the fans zero. We know nothing of the inner workers.
It certainly did take everyone by surprise.
Fantastic news for Sam and the club.
Glad it got done before the season started.

Sayers will go down as the President that awoke the sleeping giant by finally putting a brain in its head! His own.

Levi in his new colours... 
What a wonderful photo …
Interesting that neither Cook nor Sayers have been front and centre publicly since the upheavel last year. Also that the focus in media is very much Voss and players. No Andrew Russell updates or footy directors on TV/radio.
Makes a difference to have a real CEO.
Would be handy as depth on our list, but agendas never change around this place

One thing which I'm still quite irritated about is the fact that Voss and our new coaching group had no say in last year's delistings.
Extremely handy, could have even been a dominating full back replacement.
Agendas might stay the same but I imagine Levi's knees are only getting worse
