He’s with his bird cousin in heaven now



Also, Randy Johnson has a photography company

Teague has left Richmond with immediate effect.

Strange to see an assistant coach go this late into the season, even with their current position and him being out of contract.

The ol Mutual Consent.

Going to be an interesting off-season at Punt Road. I would say they would go after a more senior assistant coach to help Yze, but well Teague was a senior coach.

Teague is pretty poorly regarded around our parts. Only got the job after a hot run as an interim - really should never have been given the role.

Will be very interesting to see what he does from here.

Off the back of a 6-5 run after going something like 4-44 before then. That was a desperate decision by the club to hire the interim coach thinking he would turn it all around because of an 11 game run. So weird.

Out and out champion of the game, much loved and largely inoffensive to everyone.
Of the 3 I'll have seen go past the 400 mark he's clearly better as a player than both Burgoyne and Harvey.

'serious' condition but back at the club the next day running laps?

Great stuff for North.

Fletcher too.

 

[Jatz]

Harsh on Burgoyne. I'd personally have him on top in the 400 club but you're only splitting hairs.

As far as a Collingwood player goes, it's hard not to like Scotty. Incredible achievement.

A month out from finals...

[Kram]

Is there any marginalised group that he missed?

Wowee..

 

[Jatz]

Bloody hell. I thought Collingwood were trying to move past their history and instead they've kept someone in charge that's as bad as Maguire (possibly worse).

By all accounts, they are both flaming shit bags.

Old people just have outdated views on the world baked into their DNA.

which is ironic when you consider a lot of the mind your business/keep it to yourself stuff of the past

Sadly younger people too.

That's where they learn it from. Sadly a lot of this is taught to them by these old fossils.

I feel like we're improving but we're still miles off where we should be.

Really don't think it is tbh. Burgoyne was a wonderful player and incredibly versatile having played in defence, midfield, wing and up forward. Probably would be in the discussion for the top 5 indigenous players of all time with Farmer, Goodes, Maurice Rioli and McLeod.

But Pendlebury is another rung up on him. 11 of his 19 seasons averaging 25 or more disposals, a few of those above 28. And 16 of 19 at 23 touches or more. In an era of midfielder stat padding he doesn't really fit that bill given he uses the ball so well, makes good decisions and seems to slow down time with his vision and decision making.

It is no slight on Burgoyne not to have him at the same level as SP. IMO.
