“I think history is now being re-written with how the game is being played..hopefully that gives the sides that are 0-2 more hope than ever.” - Scott on AFL360

is there a context where this statement can be taken to be anything but ridiculous?

Hang on.

This bloke has been completely caught out with the 6-6-6 rule and claims it is "hard" to fix, and with this in mind he now claims a 0-2 starting record can be overcome..................................exactly how?

Same bloke that had time before everyone else to work on the rules of 666 as he was on the committee implementing the changes!!!!

This is perhaps the main source of my disappointment in BS. At the Family Day a month or so ago, he was given the microphone for 5-10 minutes and as usual, spoke very well. He said words to the effect of "Some people think the new rules changes won't make much difference, but believe me, they will make a significant difference - and we are particularly well placed to take advantage of them".

Then we dole out 4 weeks of on field shitfulness and he now comes out and says we are struggling with the 6-6-6. WT actual F?

‘History being rewritten’

No, we are moving into a new era

There was an era before the centre diamond

There was an era when the diamond cane in

There was an era when the square came in

There is an era where the 6-6-6 has been introduced

There will be another era when the configuration changes again

Come on mate. He’s been selling snake oil for 10 years now. His bullshit is nothing new, it’s just finally everyone is starting to see. He is a fraud.

I think he's been a pretty good coach overall. But 10 years is a long time without a top four finish...comes a time when a fresh approach is needed.

You can't blame Scotts for that. It's not as if he has warehoused a clearance specialist in the magoos.

True, and it's not as if Goldy has been a dominant tap ruckman. If only he was, maybe we could work out a plan to take advantage of it.

Yep.

“I sit on the Competition Committee so I’ve had these discussions over an 18-month period, so I certainly endorse the changes because I think it’s really good for the game,” Scott said on Fox Footy’s AFL 360.

“I didn’t anticipate being on the receiving end of it in the first two weeks. I think we rank 18th for centre bounce clearances and scores against from those clearances, so it’s hurt us initially. But it’s really good for the game.


That's nice Brad. Tell me again, who pays your ****ing wages?!

This is in sync with reports that his primary goal as an AFL coach is to "develop outstanding young men".

This was the most frustrating thing on Sunday Goldie getting the centre tap out but none of our mids in the tap zone to get the clearance.

I understand all the frustration. I am equally frustrated.

However

Is there not an element of the players not executing the plan?

It is not a computer game.
