We lost out in the ruck, but not because we were playing the reigning All Australian pair but because the umpires gave a heap of unwarranted free kicks to cox due to his flailing arms?come on guys lets not get personal.

For the most part I like brad Scott and when he's speaking about the game generally he often makes some salient points but...
He has a tendency to go off half cocked after losses which can come across as whining largely because of the manner in which he goes about it. For example the Etihad roof fiasco - he had a strong case in that it was apalling management but by carrying on like a pork chop after the game (less so in the presser) he came across more raving lunatic than an otherwise intelligent person making a valid point
Worsfold by contrast gives very little away in public and as a supporter it can be frustrating as it can be hard to glean information at times and after a loss it would be nice to see a reaction that shows he is as pissed off as we are. That said he's been pretty successful and its comforting to know that when things aren't going well he isn't panicking
Having an argument about who is better is pointless though as it will just go along team allegiances
Loving your avatarThat is perfect
He better use it

I think theres a fine line, theres been occasions i've pulled my hair out at frustrations that Woosha hasn't given the players a public spray. But keeping your cool infront of the media is an A-class strategy. Brad Scott rather makes excuses.
The roof wasn't on so Naitanui was allowed to get some altitude?
Previous management missed all four chances to draft a Selwood.

I could link you the current headline but I'm not sure that will cheer you up.

Well done guys, cracking game and the finish lived up to it.
If you watch the press conference you'll find Brad was very measured and didn't take the bait that the media were offering him. I was angry after the game but we could have had the game won already so don't really blame the umpires for our loss, umpiring is what it is, we can't control that.
Yeah. Brad showed some maturity this time.
Hopefully he doesn't revert back to his old ways.

Yeah have to give kudos to him on the way he handled himself, the journos tried to bait him into going on a rant and he answered the question with tact and professionalism so well done to him.

Yeah, he had genuine cause to complain about it last night but AFL won't do anything so it's just a waste of everyones time.
