Coach Chris Scott re-signs to 2022 (aka the Chris Scott discussion Part IV)

[mcwilrob]

Midway through the second quarter tonight, I thought 'my son is a bit quiet'. My 9 year old son, who has been a GFC member for 6 years and lives and breathes footy and the GFC. He sat through the embarrassment that was the Melbourne QF in 2018 and the Richmond QF in 2017. I looked over, and he was silently weeping, tears streaming down his face. I took a photo of him at that point.

Anyone have Chris Scott's email address? I want to send that photo to him to see what his rubbish, narcissistic self-interest does to people.

F*** you Chris Scott, you self-promoting snake oil salesman. You are full of s***, and more interested in your own supposed coaching prowess and coaching legacy. We are Geelong; we are meant to play the game 'as it should be played', not a safety first, watered down version of Ross Lyon and Paul Roos' defensive rubbish. Take some responsibility for your lack of coaching acumen. Stop self-promoting on AFL 360 and have the courage to step down.

We don't care if other coaches voted you 'The Most Difficult To Coach Against'. That is only because you try to be too clever and switch things up unnecessarily. Not only do opposition teams have no idea what we are going to do, neither do our own players.

Premiership teams are bold; they take the initiative, create new styles of play and challenge the rest of the competition to beat them. You recycle tired, old defensive schemes that win lots of game in the H&A, but fall down in finals. You have nothing more to give our club - move on please.

Oh, and apologise to my son while you're at it, for having to sit through the tripe your game plan has served up over the past eight years.

Amen!

Hey, you all know my thoughts on our head coach but the anger is a tad misplaced.
He does what the club wants!
A game style and recruitment strategy that keeps arses on expensive seats at KP.
He's done what the majority of you have all liked and according to the club what everyone has liked bar a few random keyboard warriors.
Have a look at the CEO, have a look at our biggest "fan" (felatio giver) in the media, and mostly have a look at yourselves.
Willing to feed this guy's ego for so many years.

 

[Gogeelong]

The CEO said that we must stay near the top to survive even if it effects our performance to rebuild properly.
Not if the supporters leave in droves should have been factored in.

We want changes and we want them now. We have a coach who destines us to failure. No more steady as she goes make changes for fu*k sake.

 

[year of the cat]

At least in the unlikely scenario that Scott is sacked, he does have a wonderful future working for the BOM.

Why do we need to stay near the top. He's told us for years that low 20s at Kardinia is the equivalent of mid 70s at the G.

Surely we have enough rusted on members, season seat holders to at the least 3/4 fill Kardinia each home game? They don't even have to turn up, just pay for the memberships and seats.

It's embarassing having Scott lead this club. I'm tired of the rhetoric, the whinging and the lack of results.

3 from 13 is atrocious. If we go out in straight sets this year then surely something has to be done.

There won’t be changes, we’ll go out in straight sets or a humiliating prelim defeat, Scott will say the same bullshit he has for 8 years, 2020 will come around and he will carry on his merry way saying he’s changed and learned and it’s different this year etc etc, absolute bullshit!!!

Not falling for it again, if Scott continues in 2020 I’m not being a member, suspect others will do the same.

And the way we play now is not the Geelong way. Its soulless defensive no risk (and no reward) rubbish.

Id rather be bottom 8 and play with flair and to score than this dreadful, depressing brand.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Also Scott's continual banging on about unfair finals venues is top drawer whining loser material. It contributes to the stain he has left in ruining our club

Nah we'll have another review where the only change is putting up seat prices a little bit more.
Chris Scott will go out to dinner instead of lunch with some of the players this time once in the pre-season and everyone will be happy.

the style of football he is imparting to our list is not standing up under Finals conditions.

This style has failed in one final. Previous styles have failed in other finals. An important distinction: the 2019 brand is vastly different to the 2018 one yet we still have a problem.

 

[fpm84]

I’m as angry and disappointed as anyone after last night but it’s pure fantasy to think we would sack a coach with three years remaining in his contract.

It. Will. Not. Happen.

If we fail dismally in the semi or prelim, our best hope for change is a clean out of assistant coaches, some of whom have been there for too long.

What a shame Essendon has already poached Caracalla for 2020.

The man himself said last night we've played the same brand that has served us well for the better part of 10 years and he didn't consider changing it last night.
I'm not pissed off for him saying that. At least he stuck to his guns.
I do agree we played a different style for most of the first half of this year, but we changed back.
I thought it was to conserve energy or something for finals but not to be. It was the actual plan.

 

[year of the cat]

Listening to his presser it’s the same old shit. Just rehashed.

No he didn’t. He said all year. It was in answer to a question about why we played slowly.

 

[Spazz Cat]

He did! Can't quote it word for word, but it was something like, "The answer is No. We've been last for play ons for years and it's served us well"
Fair enough.

 

[The acurate one]

The person who signed up Scott to this 3 year deal needs to be sacked immediately? Who was it?

Probably works at North.........

Havent been a member since 2017 because of this ****wit. I suggest others do the same

Very true. He’s stubborn. Like his preference for failed finals performers. We looked different at the start of the year and it worked.

We are off Broadway now so be interesting to see how we go. Will he go back to the early stuff or was that built around Clark and others now not in the side.

Dear Chris,

This is what two slices of bread look like.

Please take one in each hand and place them over your ears and repeat after me,

"I'M AN IDIOT SANDWICH"

"I'M AN IDIOT SANDWICH"

Regards,

Herne Hill Hammer.

That was the most damning comment for mine. I would have thought that maybe he should be asking, “is this stagnant game plan, that has proved woefully unsuccessful in finals, going to all of a sudden serve us well?” He almost appeared to wear that “last for play ons” as a badge of honour ffs!!! He’s got his head up his own arse.

It weird I actually didn't mind it. Not often you get a straight or meaningful answer out of CS (or any coach). Was refreshing, and showed our mindset.

Well it did explain things. A completely flawed mindset. And a completely rigid one. Just confirmed by suspicions and what I’ve heard from a couple of people in the industry.

 

[you pick one]

Definitely said ranked 18th for years and not changing now.

 

[you pick one]

Here's a question is 6 or 7 people picking the side a case of to many cooks spoiling the broth,it is in my view.
