Opinion No More Brad Scott Week

[Marlin01]

As much as I hate to say this, it seems Brad has finally grown up. His conduct immediately after the game and in his post-match press conference was exemplary and for us to ignore that makes us look like a bunch of campaigners.

Fun is over..

I blame the umpires..

 

[Adzam]

I was thinking about this last night. The last couple of times we have done Brad Scott week properly we have lost. We didn't really do it this time and won.

There's that too

 

[Cuzdup]

Was thinking the same thing watching his presser. He got a bit animated in the box at bad umpiring and he had every right to get fired up I reckon

 

[Big Cox 88]

You thought you would get away Scott free with this thread didn't you?

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Boo @ Brad Scott.

What he didn't give us in lols he handed us with his doomed to fail gameplan.
Thanks Brad.

 

[Evo47]

I was looking forward to his presser but there was nothing.

End of an era...

Hear hear, he deserves plenty of accolades and plaudits for his behaviour immediately after the game

 

[Biggie]

Good.

After our last loss I Was never comfortable with it.

Yeah, still sand there, sorry bout that

 

[Sw3Et]

Beating norf in a prelim is a way better piss take than brad Scott week ever was. It was fun, but not as fun as the week leading to a grand final.

Brad Scott was a mild-mannered football coach... until somebody rubbed him THE WRONG WAY.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

They showed him a few times on the big screen at the game in full Brad Scott mode in the coach's box haha but his press conference after the game was all class:

"You play an interstate preliminary final. The crowd was fantastic tonight, they generated a superb atmosphere and it makes it really tough for the people that are charged with adjudicating the game.

"I understand the frustration of supporters and particularly our supporters, and West Coast supporters when it didn't go their way.

"Our game is the hardest game in the world to umpire, sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don't.

"It's frustrating but we never sit back and say, ‘Umpires cost us the game’, because that would be unfair on them and unfair on West Coast and it wouldn't be true."

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Yep, was incredibly classy last night. I think it's only right we respect him for that.

 

[mick06]

This is all true. However behind all those words he is thinking the complete opposite.

 

[lmach]

It's the week Bigfooty deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

 

[Marlin01]

This is all true. However behind all those words he is thinking the complete opposite.

That's what gracious in defeat is all about. Nobody likes losing, but putting aside feelings of anger and disappointment to pay respect to the victor is true sportsmanship.

Yep, exactly.

Have we all just missed the mighty dig in his presser?

"You play an interstate preliminary final. The crowd was fantastic tonight, they generated a superb atmosphere and it makes it really tough for the people that are charged with adjudicating the game."

It's thinly veiled but a clear whinge at the umpires.

 

[mad_eagle]

Agree with this, the moment has passed and I think it brings nothing but bad juju now!!!

A few exasperated looks from Scott in the box last night, but handled himself well in the presser.

Who's going to argue with that? In the context of what else he said, I think that's fine.

 

[ioppolo]

It was funny once, especially with the way Selwood/Naita trolled their way to victory.

 

[WCE_phil]

Lot of respect for the way Brad handled himself after the game. Was all class both on the field and in the press conference.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

His reaction to Shuey's trip (not technically a trip). Was pretty good.
