Play Nice Bye Bye Brad [v4.0] - IT'S HAPPENING!!!

[GreatBradScott]

This conversation is precisely the problem - Waite and to an extent Jacobs are our 'match-winners'.

How many clubs across the league 'wait and see' if their key matchwinner is fit this week? Might only play 12-14 times a year, in a good year?

It is complete f***ing bullshit. This club is a debacle and will get nowhere with this current set up.

No they aren't. But they are were vital parts of the side. It seems there is always a single point of failure in BS's systems. They aren't resilient enough. A bit like many of the posters on this board.

Aye. This whole framing of anyone with a critique as 'soft' is ridiculous. 204 games and counting, hasn't got within five goals of the Big Day.

Wish like hell I am wrong, but it isn't changing soon. We will win precisely nothing under Brad.

15 years a reserved seat member and this year I have not renewed. I am going to barrack for the Hawks this weekend.
Get rid off BS , get rid of the sofkok players and I might come back, and I think there are many more like me.
Might be too late. Time is ticking,

I'm just grateful an opposition troll finds us relevant enough to make a new account to entertain us with!

 

[Only Forwards]

I want to expect to win games, not hope.

I remember when I felt the expectation we'd win, always, didn't matter who we played, we'd win.

Been a long time.

 

[kangaspurs]

I'm in the camp believing that Brad's had his time, but can we have a thread just for North supporters who want us to lose? They can a clap hands and give little cheers for Sicily and Gunston and Roughy or whoever we're playing, and the rest of us won't have to put up with such crap.

Yeah, agreed. I'm pretty much off him too, but there will never ever come a time where I actively want North to lose. As long as Brad's here, I'll want him to be successful.

And remember the last time people here wanted to lose? The last round against Brisbane in 2017. Some posters were genuinely infuriated that we didn't deliberately lose for a better draft pick, and what happened? We ended up with the best or 2nd best player in the draft anyway.

I'm the one calling (some) people's behaviour soft and you've just quoted me with a critique of Brad. How does that work? If people can criticise him like an adult not a child then fine.

And that comment about resilience wasn't aimed at you after what you said. Sorry if it came across that way. What you said is fair enough. You can't build a structure of any sort using material as fragile as BJ or W80 as the foundations.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Anyway, my opinion about Scott hasn't changed one iota.

His first two rounds have been unacceptable, the 1st round in particular being an unmitigated disgrace, he has again shown that he is tactically inept, and his media display up to this point suggest he is clueless as to how to turn it around.

He doesn't make the finals this year then he is a complete failure. He's done, and all the bullshit in the world won't change my mind.

 

[Royal Flush]

I think the wanting north to loose camp is related to the fact in each shit season we have had, we have had some wins with scintillating football.
Let me tell you they will come this year too.

And these wins, I'm convinced has the board convinced that BS is the right coach. His spin is that we are a couple of elite players short of completing the jigsaw puzzle.

The question we are all asking is, how will we ever measure that it's the result of poor player development?
BS out new coach In that's how we'll know.

I never want us to loose either and I've been off BS, on BS partially and now totally off.
It's insane because it's like a toxic relationship with a hot chick that you can't stop loving despite the fact she hurts you.
And no BS isn't the hot chick our football club is that hot Chick.

He has those players now. And its fair to say we didn't before. Polec and Hall replacing Hartung and Clarke ... that should be enough.

This obsession with poor player development is a bit much imo. Its just another meme that has spread thru the board on the back of shit player and others in poor form.

Shiny new toys....I love all the professionals on here berating the club for winning games because we could have player x who is gonna be better than Carey. The fetishising of youth and draft picks is insane. Surely history tells you that you play to win every single ****en week. No ifs or buts. Wins over draft picks always.

I hope we win this week and every week. I have also seen enough of this coach to believe he won't get us flag five. However, like everyone on here I am not a professional. Time will tell. The clock is ticking though.

Thank you another good post not enough of them on this thread bar a couple of switched on posters.

This is what it boils down to. We've gone through enough average seasons, given the man 2 list builds (even if the 1st was during the compromised GWS/GC years) and nothing's changed.
Time to lead or be led to the door, Brad.

 

[ferball]

Fixed.

Have you got anything in the way of figures that shows poor player development or is it "just the vibe".

Yep.
8, 10, 6, 8, 8, 15, 9

 

[ferball]

Just the vibe hey.

That's true in my case. My uncle Arthur did his transition last November.

Just the vibe hey.

Sorry, forgot 16.

Given our current circumstances and the current position of our list, in addition to the fact that things can change very quickly in footy (for better and worse), I would implement the following if I was in control of the NMFC:

Assuming we are 0-4 in two weeks, Brad Scott’s new KPI’s for 2019 are

1- main focus on getting games into kids, as long as it’s not detrimental to their development. Particular focus on McKay, Durdin and Watson. And Larkey.

2- do everything possible to have all players ready to go for pre season 2020 day 1. For example, that means not playing ziebell for the last 5 weeks if he is carrying ANYTHING that can be fixed with surgery. Ie not playing Daw with a broken foot etc. on this I’d pull the pin on Daw for 2019, same with Jacobs, Walker. The exception is Garner who should still aim to play in the first half of the year. If he hasn’t been able to, try something different with his rehab (send him somewhere to try a different approach).

3- ensure the club is well positioned to bring in elite young talent via the draft. Maybe look at trading 2020 first rounder for a 2019 first rounder.

4- work on trying to convince a KPD to come across via free agency

5- beating the drug cheats on Good Friday

The above criteria would be Scott and list managements areas of assessment.

In 2020, I would tell Scott his next contract would be based on win/loss at the 2/3 mark of the season. If he hasn’t met the criteria his contract won’t be renewed and we enter the market for a new coach and Scott can start looking for his next job.
