Opinion The Official Brad Scott Thread - Back, at the club (Relax - bumped thread)

[hilly]

We are 50-50 to make finals. Teams around us have improved. I don't think BS gets sacked on a top 12 finish but he'd certainly be under the pump in 2016.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Not very respectful of our senior coach mate...

That reasoning is an insult to our intelligence.

The difference is that he presides over a team that can not apply the requisite amount of pressure because they have been taught an unaccountable brand of football.

That's the difference.

 

[Galactus_]

Pressure must start to come on him sooner or later....probably won't for a while while carlton have mick.

What??
I said calling the coach a pleb was disrespectful.

He's being disrespectful with that reasoning. To say that was the difference is head in the sand stuff.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Yes it is, he's been there 6 years and we're going.backwards.

We've actually gone full circle:

1) Beat the teams below us and get smashed by the teams at the top (2009-12)
2) Beat the teams around us and be competitive against the elite (2013)
3) Beat the elites and drop games to teams we shouldn't (2014)
4) Beat the teams below us and get smashed by the teams at the top (2015)

 

[niko11]

Who is he?

He's pic is not on the NMFC website.

Google is useless.

He's been there for years and I don't know wtf he does or is?

Good question but i have no idea who he is either....

 

[Mav]

You are actually a really boring poster... When do you close up shop until next game day?

I'll tell you what, just for you I'll post inane dribble all week. I'll pretend players read my posts and I'll offer words of encouragement and congratulate those that have been been selected (or done something slightly different like had a baby, bought a new car or won a game of paper, rock scissors)..just as if i was talking to them directly.

 

[Phillyroo]

What would you like him to do??
Throw players under the bus to the media?
Good coaches don't do that.
Regroup, win next week and hopefully get a chance to beat up these bastards in the finals.

Great, just great.
Now I feel like we are getting somewhere.

 

[Gasometer]

...anywho, we get revenge on them in Rd 21 at Docklands.

I am sure that Crocker, I mean Scotts, will ensure a better effort than tonight.

 

[roonskins]

Ok Scotts lovers, can you outline what it is about his coaching that you like?

umm er um well um er um well you know

In 2015:
- we can't compete with the big team
- we can't get close
- we are easily scored against.

Me thinks some of your positives were "anomalies"!

I agree mr spock

Something revolutionary.

Make a move on match day.

Making a move on match day would impact our structures.

You'd have to be a mad man to do such a thing.

 

[archereleven]

Bitterly Dissappointing

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Of course not, but let's not put our fingers in our ears and just chalk this down to "played a better side".

We have lost four of our last nine games by more than ten goals. We continually fail to execute under pressure, and continually back our midfield to go head to head against better, more physical midfields, stubbornly refusing to tag or set up defensively. We continually get carved up by the loose man.

I was watching this one in Crown, and on the next screen was Hawthorn vs Sydney. That was just outstanding, hard, finals type footy. We look like children in comparison to sides like that when they come to play. Tonight was embarrassing, just like the prelim, just like round one and just like Hawthorn minus half their backline (see, good sides adapt and cover for injuries).

Beginning to think we were pretty fortunate to get * and then a last legs Geelong in the finals last year. Right now it stinks of a 2007 prelim which is not going to lead to bigger things.

There are big issues right now, and one of them is clearly the coaching group.

I keep checking my notifications to see if Phillyroo has quoted and replied to this, so I can see if he will play the man or the ball.

By Rd 21, Ross Lyin will be resting his finals gun players, for the final series ahead, and we may do what St Kilda did last year

Huh?
Edit... Is this still about the Greenwood thing?

 

[Tas]

Did anyone hang around long enough to catch the post match?

 

[DesertRoo]

With that level of intensity, I'm sure Xanax has been handed out before games.

Soft as butter is this team coached by Brad Scott.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

To regress to a middle level side is a failed year.

he doesn't get a contract for me.

 

[muttley45]

About time Brad got away from his laptop, and got his arse out of the box down to the boundary for a bit of face to face interaction with his team, and no manhandling of security staff on the way down either

 

[Gasometer]

I don't think intensity back on them was the problem....we kept them locked in for long spells at times....71 tackles (we spent a lot of the game chasing).

The intensity was on us, and as usual we turned it over, again and again.

And bring the right hand man as well.

 

[kangaspurs]

I'm no mod, but personally attacking other posters is unbecoming. Regardless of what you think of other posters opinions on Brad they have as much right to post here as anyone else and shouldn't be subject to those sorts of posts.
