This approach of flying the day before and not training at the ground has been largely ineffective. We've been for the most part an ordinary away side, rarely winning in Perth or Adelaide.
I questioned it when Scott first introduced it when he arrived but I was shot down by other posters claiming Scott was the Messiah. Well, he’s not the Messiah he’s just a very stupid boy.
 
Too much of a “boys club” going on at the club. It starts with Scott & Joyce and it filters it way down to the playing group. Guys like McDonald, McMillan, Turner and Wood have no consequences for poor performance and the same goes for all the coaching and development staff.

We as a club are happy with mediocrity. That’s the plan straight out facts.
 
BS was done about 3 years ago, then the board decide to give him a contract extension! Crazy stuff. As someone mentioned earlier, we'll look at the BS years as the wasted years for the NMFC. I'ii gladly help him exit the club by arranging a rubbish skip to throw his game plan into, along with the lack of accountability, soft efforts and players turning up on game day for what appears to be simply appearance money.
 
I wonder how the Millenials would handle a Barrassi spray.

Lol. They’d, probably, tell him to shove it up his arse and that it’s not the seventies and the world has well and truly moved on, whether he likes it or not.

I’d like to know what side an unbiased coach without favourites would pick. Eg if Adam Simpson Walked in the door what would his best 22 look like ? Reckon it would be very different to the sides Scott picks
 
Has shown over his entire tenure that he has his way and does not deviate.

Has a plan, whether that suits the cattle or not, and sticks with it.

A more stubborn man there isn't.

Well can we get his best mate over to us from the West? The bloke who was never blessed with skill but tried to get the best out of himself through hard work?

When sides get on a run against us we go into our shell. A consistent theme throughout Brad's tenure. If it's not on our terms we look like utter shit.
Onfield leadership was appalling yesterday, but Brad just let it unfold. Needed to try something: Ziebell on the ball, Higgins back or forward to break the tag, long kicks down the boundary line to force stoppages even, rather than just handball happy out of defence...The players obviously looked to handball as a first option, which ended in disaster time and again. So change it up!! That said, he certainly didn't coach the midfield to get smashed like that....

I've had faith, I've looked for the good, I've appreciated some fine wins. But a decade is enough of a sample size. He isn't a premiership coach. We're headed for 9th again.

This is just it.

The players we have are good enough to get us to the finals.

What would get us higher, is playing them to their strengths. Which we dont do. This comes down to coaching and tactical ineptitude.
 
Even assuming that the Board suddenly decided that Brad isn't the way forward, the bad news is that we probably can't afford to sack Brad, given that he has a year and a half left on his contract. We would also have to pay for another coach. Quite possibly, all up, replacing Brad might cost us upwards of an additional $2M, and I don't think that we can spare that amount of money.

Which makes the extension he received seriously negligent.

All we have to do is waiting for one and a half years til Brad is fired.
It takes more than years to fix this team anyway.
It's very sad to give up after R1. I can't expect their performance will be better soon.
When we had JLT, people said "it"s just a practice match"
Some people said "It's just starting"
But I can't see this team make any score with this game plan since JLT
Brad usually makes terrible excuse and talks rubbish during press conference.
But it looks he has no idea why and give up already this season according to what his comment.
There are a lots of issues to fix up and change in this team from now on.
BBB and Wood are over mentally and physically, I don't think they come back.
Can't waste young talent like Ahern, LDU, Simpkin, Walker, Thomas. Scott, Anderson, Dumond anymore.
Just focus on improvement of young generation and give up Cunner, Ziebell, Goldstain, Micmillan, even Polec.
We don't have enough time for them to win a flag.

We usually bounce back after a heavy defeat, so I'm expecting a much better performance this week. I'll settle with us being competive; a win will be a bonus.

Like many others here, I have issues with our selection, our game plan, our skills and our lack of leadership on field. Let's hope that Brad proves us all to be fools, and that this week is the start of an extended winning run.
 
Some coaches create a plan around the strengths of their players.

Some coaches create a plan and get the players to fit to it.

I think we are somewhere in the middle meaning we master nothing.

If Brad is recontracted this year I will throw up. And by throw up I mean contact the club and tell them exactly why I am downgrading my memberships.

We've trained all preseason to do handball happy nonsense. It's taking a knife to a gun fight with the current pressure tactics in use across the AFL.
