Michael Gleeson, Caroline Wilson and Jake Niall discuss the issues at Ikon Park. Can David Teague keep his job? Patrick Cripps is yet to re-sign; how should that be viewed in the context of the club's review? And how much of a factor will the Carlton “brand” – of moving on coaches and key officials quickly – impact any decisions they make going forward? Plus: what the Bombers should do with Jake Stringer's contract, praise for the Cats, and why it could be time to bring in team No.19.
