Is Chris Scott the Saltiest Coach in the AFL?

Shit Chris Scott has got some competition now. Re-open the thread because “Damien Hardwick” (referred to in full to avoid causing cultural insult) once complained about the umpiring in a match where the umpiring was one sided. Call the fire brigade!!!!
Not a lot of evidence of this crumbling occurring, aside from a couple of games on different shaped grounds.
Seems like teams have gone down the guts like last night and found the challenge too much without having the dimensions right.
It’s true
Same as Essendon fans wanted woosha gone ...now he’s the messiah
It’s a winning business
Winning means high fives back slapping butt kissing
Losing .......anger sake em.......there is no inbetween
You don’t get it, you have 8 loses, on the brink of falling out of the 8 with a coach that will never beat Richmond lol.
We sit on top beat your insipid mob last night. We are on top, deal with it you salty flog.

I assume then you must be friends with 'Woosha' or should that be John to you?

Chris Scott may do well to reflect back on his comments after Essendon upset them earlier this season:
"The other side of that – it's always ungracious to talk too much in these sorts of situations about how poorly we used the ball and fumbled and were just beaten in the contest, without acknowledging how good the opposition were .."

Chris Scott, premiership coach who's made finals all but one year of his coaching career, V Hardwick? Why are you laughing?

What day of the course then Dave did you feel comfortable to call him Woosha? It's only that I've met Damien a couple of times at Richmond functions and am a little uncertain how many more times would be appropriate until I can call him Dimma
We were the better side for most of the night (despite what Scott believes), but Hardwick admitted we got caught on the hop by some of the tactics. They tried the corridor on more than most opposition. Plus we got a bit tired and didn’t score for the last 15 minutes.

Richmond were the best side for most of the game agree
Richmond are like hawthorn were when they were so good ...they play brilliant burst footy that kills you
you're right, it doesn't matter how good a season you have, its that one day that it has to all come together, odds/favouratism mean diddly as Adelaide found out last year.
Six games left. What if Jack’s remarkable run of availability comes to an end? We might be able to cover him for one final, but I reckon it would sink us in the end.

Exactly.
Imagine being a coach who is reminded to "maintain the corporate image".
Every coach knows which journos snipe them in the media, and there really is no accountability for journos.
Random journo can write / express whatever they want at anytime they want, and a coach has no recourse outside of a 2-3 minute window at a press conference.
I'd go for it too.
Someone on here mentioned Malthouse used to have a staffer sit in the back of the room and gesture when his 6 minutes was up, and he walk out of the room at 6 minutes.
The after match press conference adds nothing in the grand scheme of things anyway.
wash your mouth outi
I see GWS as a big threat but as you say a lot can happen, we have given ourselves the chance for b2b but no one is going to hand it over on a silver platter.

Making him a more successful coach, only a complete muppet would disagree.
More successful than who, if your comparing him with Hardwick which I wasnt actually doing, then they are about on par, with Scott slightly ahead depending on how things go this year.
Scott started with a ready made team that's undeniable, Hardwick started with an absolute basket case, Hardwick has taken Richmond to 6 finals series in 9 years if you include this year(we can't miss finals) for 3 wins so far including a flag, Scott has taken his ready made team to either 6 or 7 finals series depending if they make it this year for 6 wins and one flag, but half those 6 wins and the flag were almost a gift from Bomber, won in his first year as coach.
Since 2012 there is nothing in it, 3 wins in finals to Scott and 3 wins and a flag to Hardwick. Scott still needs to show he can rebuild a team.
Clarkson of course is the master of them all, having rebuilt twice and winning 3 flags in a row all other modern coaches pale in comparison.
I just feel Scott is a little over rated at times, it would have been interesting how he would have gone had he taken over a less successful team, as his brother did.
