I'm done. I really don't care for finals and after our 3 flags I'm pretty content. Just want to tune into a game of footy and see us win.
In saying that I don't see us going any further than just being competitive. I think we need a change. For all the talk of byes etc and to come as we did is unfathomable. The players are obviously too comfortable and need a new voice.
If we straight set I think that should be enough. Wont happen but I really wish it does.

Scott over analysis the game and coaches the team into stupidity.
He has his reasons for the change but it is too hard for us to understand. Even though all of the public do not get it.
We are destined to spiral if he continues his grip on the job.

shouldn't be a surprise
lets drop our best ruck against the best ruck in the competition 2013 qualifying final
Scott's ego can't handle trying to minimise a losing situation so he goes all in to try turn it into a win.
We all know Stanley wont beat Grundy in the ruck but he is the best we have. In Scott's mind he thinks he can get a win by having Blicavs dominate the ground ball and win as an extra mid. Then everyone will say what a great coach he is for making such a match winning decision.

Even if there was some merit to that thinking - and there isn't much - the reality is Blicavs gets less of the ball playing as a ruckman. So it hurts the team by not having the best ruck option in there, and it hurts Blicavs by taking him away from his best position, and he gets less of the ball. Lose-lose-lose.
The rain was a furphy.
They were always planning on executing this late change ( as Scott predictably does regularly) to get one up on the opposition.
Look at me Im so clever
Have you seen the board? Checked it out the other evening. Don’t exactly scream out as progressive, strong, critical types. Have zero faith that they would reprimand Scott after Friday’s nights debacle.
Thats a perfect summation
Our players play this rigid, overthought, straightjacketed style, merely pawns on the chessboard where the puppet master pulls the strings.
Ego driven mess we have here now.
He simply has to go

I think it would be unusual for any board in football to criticise decision by decision. The accountability is ultimately about job security.
They look to be conservative, risk averse stooges that would be told what to think rather than have a ruthless, demanding edge. Club needs a shakeup from top to bottom.
Is Chris seriously intelligent?

Stanley has been inconsistent all year
The decision weeks ago to test blitz as a ruck was because the ruck situation was not working
as for the rose coloured glasses re bomber is hilarious
he stuffed up 06 and 10 -
the match committee dont determine whether players kick straight
much like the lions game last night, had they kicked straight and put the pressure on the tigers there may have been a different result

I’d agree with that. And don’t necessarily expect it would or should be done before our season is complete. But post season it should be. I think it will be buried.
I know you don't agree with it. But I'll just add the stupitity of it with this: Stanley can sprint down the forward line and impact there. Blicavs can't. Blicavs is an asset in the backline, and a bloody disaster in the forward line. Blicavs is not a great kick or a decision maker. I have no idea what his I50s are, but I doubt they are any good, and he has zero goal sense. So my question is, how can he blow up an opposition ruckman if he is useless in one half of the ground?
Hey, but Stanley has great areobic capacity and he is a threat in the forward line. Ummm......

I expect Cook and the board will dissect it all again. That’s their job.
He’s articulate. That doesn’t mean he’s intelligent. Most of all, in my opinion, he lacks personal insight. An inability to self analyze.
Blicavs hasn't been inconsistent though. He consistently plays great in defence and s**t in the ruck. The decision must have been made in part by how the team went when they won agains weak teams when Blicavs was rucking. Not on what Blicavs actually acheived.
For the sake of the supporter, I hope that there is a public acknowledgement of the cluster fxxk that happened on Fri. And maybe what has transpired post bye.

I wonder if that poor bastard that criticized Scott at the AGM a couple of years back and his balls ripped off would still be interested in the coaching job.
I don't blame Scott it's others that have kept him in the position,plenty here worked him out long ago,any coach who takes 48 hours to deduce why they lost a game of footy shouldn't sit in the coaches box game day.

The acknowlegement is just ther start. Next step is why the decision was made. And does the "why" point to a mindset.
Remember when the Geelong heiarchy was babbling on about how we have to stay in the 8 to be relevant? God, that was defeatist talk, I thought. 8th is mediocre, but a pass mark, apparently.
What they need to dissect is why their annual dissections don't achieve anything.
Hello Chris Scott
I sense that there could be major dissent from the supporter base if we lose this Friday night. And I hope there is. Accepting mediocrity no more. Maybe a challenge to the board? I want to see streets burning around Moorabool St.

Not sure that’s fair. Changes were made over the summer that meant the team put itself into a position none of us thought possible.
