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

[Wild Bill]

Its a ******* joke eh?

I dont want players dropped because the 2's players might be better, i want players dropped so they know and understand there is a minimum standard that must be upheld when you put on a NMFC jumper. Missed tackles, arm tackles, non efforts, wayward disposal, perceived pressure mistakes, lack of shepherding should be dissected, shown and shown again to the playing group. Its not the mistakes, its the consistency in the mistakes. Its like they arnt learning a ******* thing at training.

The bar is set way to low for this group. There is no discipline in their play, there is no emotion, there is no leadership.

I want Brad gone, whether at the bye week or seasons end.

The Hawthorn game was it for me- 3 60 point bashings within 6 games with more to come one would suspect.

So punish the side by punishing a player.

How many times in the last 2 seasons did we lose 2 in a row? Maybe leave it to the experts how they want the players to respond to a bad game. Dropping a bunch of players to help with your rage does not help the football club.

 

[Wild Bill]

"We shouldn't change coaches because we might not get anyone better"

"We shouldn't drop players because those in the VFL might not be any better"

We should sack scott because TD is upset.

We should drop a heap of players because TD is upset.

Anything else to help get over your anger?

It's about setting a standard to ensure these shitful performances stop.

As a serious question WB what do you think should happen this week and in the coming month for our football? Because what we are dishing up is not good enough. What would you like to see?

****ing oath punish the group.

Maybe we might see some leadership and a standard set by the playing group off of their own backs.

Ill answer for him.

Keep it the same, hope for different

Keep the pom poms shaking...

 

[kelman]

I tell ya what, now Hinkleys has also been proven a dud, going to be hard to bench mark Brad against anyone.

What a load of crap - it's not the 80s. Who do you want out this week? Not sure many would be rated higher than shitful last night. Drop 16 players?

No doubt we need to improve and I am all for changes - but the change must improve us.

We are 4-4 with a really tough draw and terrible injuries. That 4th spot is up for grabs and I hope we can make a run at it. Dropping players as punishment and losing to the pies puts us in a really bad spot.

And maybe we see a 10 goal hiding from the pies as Werribee/nth ballarat are not up to it.

Happy for that to happen as long as the players are punished?

I don't think the draw has been as tough as other sides. Freo at subi was always going to be a loss. But we have played a lot of the middle of the rung sides. Essendon, Richmond, port and Geelong were all very beatable. Hawthorn are being worked out. We got a gimme game in the lions though. I reckon the hard part is coming up now. I fear that if this group does not get the kick up the arse it sorely needs this year will be beyond repair.

 

[sbdan]

We are 4-4, but it is a flattering 4-4. Hawks are 4-4 and we are no nowhere near them. 3 losses by more than 10 goals is damning for a team who fancies them themselves as contenders. I just read the press press, and Scott made a comment that "we are not a good side yet". It is the "yet" comment that concerns me, this belief that we are better than what we have presented so far this season, that we are still building towards something. Look at the ages of our group and the games of experience in even or younger players. This is our peak. Scott has spent years getting to this point. His position should be judged on our success this year, or we have to give someone else a go.

We will win 13-14 games. We have a great run home. It will be hard to do any damage without Wells, Dal and Swallow back in the team though. Our midfield is really struggling.

Who has had it harder? We have played 6 finalists from 2014. Crows in SA is also tough and not many will beat them at home.

Yes, would you like to ask it another way so i can also say yes?

Like i said, maybe the playing group will step up and set playing standards for all and sundry to follow.

Obviously you are happy to blitzed by good teams as long as we beat shit sides by 20-30 points? Im not. Id rather see a 10 goal flogging from the pies in H&A instead of a 10-20 goal hiding in an elim final, been down that embarrassing road.

As has been pointed out, the 'back them in' culture is embedded in the club.

It's clear that players can put in sub standard efforts and be picked for the next week under the guise of 'redemption'.

There is no reward for performance.

How many years in a row have we backed up a pathetic effort with another pathetic effort inside a 10 week block?

Its a trick question.....


It's every f***ing year.

BOOM! There it is.

 

[Zondor]

Look I don't know what you Turkeys are on about. Our current predicament ain't Brad Scotts' fault. He is only the coach. It's the players he has brought to the club, developed and selected that are letting him down. And if we were to sack him we would end up with someone worse. No chance of getting someone better. I know this as a fact. And anyways you Turkeys take these losses too seriously. So what if we got thumped by Freo. It means my Mrs slurped my 2 inch knob to raise my spirits. Now that's what counts. :stern look

Look I don't know what yous turkeys are on about - if we sack Scott and drop 16 players we will win this years premiership. If we sack Scott we will definately get a much better coach. Sacking a coach has worked well - just ask the Tigers. Sacking = flag - I know this as a fact. You need to get more serious and start to hate your life after each loss as that is the best way to turn the club around. Now come on turkeys - shake your fists at the TV and make an angry mad dog face.
Sack, angry, drop players, mad dog and we will win every flag forever. As long as we sack, get angry, drop players and mad dog every year.

 

[Only Forwards]

I'd like to congratulate Brad on our biggest ever loss to Freo.

This to back up his round 1 biggest loss to Adelaide

And to go alongside such honours as:

Biggest losses to Collingwood and West Coast (which was a final)

But we finally got there it took us 141 years but we managed to get beaten by 100 points against St Kilda.

Fun doesn't stop there though because we can go a couple of years better, it took 143 years to be beaten by 100 points by Hawthorn.

This bloke needs to win us a flag.

You're struggling to have a proper debate here WB without resorting to histrionics.
