great snippet. Legend of our club and respects due.
Hah cheeky bugger you can be. Don’t mind a bit of banter.
no I didn’t watch reg hickey in the 1930’s if that’s what you mean.
watched all of bombers reign as coach and saw highlights of blight.
when did you start watching football??
he did cost us the flag. The team was coached terribly in 2010 and we paid the price it.
scott had to fix a lot of issues in 2011 to make us a premiership team. It wasn’t done without a lot of quality coaching strategically and offseason training to get us back up there.
what do you think happens, you just walk in and snap your fingers like Harry Potter and the shelf’s fly around sorting themselves??
so which is the criticism. He fails in finals and can’t coach in finals?? Or his record is poor?? Because if you have coached a premiership you have shown without a doubt when you have the right troops you can take them al the way.
the question isn’t whether he can coach in finals, the question is how do we get the side good enough again to go deep into September and win another premiership.

Yeah I actually enjoy this thread. It's always fun.
TBH with you I didn't know Hickey got 4 flags. Thought he just coached the back to back.
I went to my first game in 88. But I can't actually really remember anything till 91.
Can sort of remember 89 GF day but didn't really get it.
Can remember the week though, everywhere had Cats stuff up everywhere.

Thought he just played Candy Crush in the office.
I dunno thought Collingwood were pretty good that year.
We're good next year too till the Malthouse/Buckley thing, combined with the Cloke thing, combined with the betting thing derailed them somewhat.
I had no idea either lol. Good historical correction by Turbocat . Definitely deserves to be mentioned our best coach then. Respect to our elders of past. Easy to forget about them and only compare modern coaches
Question still remains, can Scott lead his own team to a grand final?
Even Gary Ayres managed to do the same thing with Malcolm Blight's team.
Yes but can he take his own list to a grand final and not one which was built from the ground up by Mark Thompson. That's the question.
that was his list, he was the coach. Turned a non premiership standard team into a premiership one.
just proof when he has the troops good enough he can bring home the cup
You do realize only one new player (Christensen) featured in that final series.
As I said, can Chris Scott take his own team to a grand final.
If he fails this year, he's pretty much done as coach of Geelong.
So Garry ablett oufor Christensen. Much stronger outfit that makes us after losing a prelim.
like I said he has proven he can coach finals when he has the troops capable. 2011 shows that. Give him the cattle capable and he will deliver
We were 4th favorites in premiership betting during the summer and that was without Ablett in the team.
Kind of illustrates just how good that list still was.
brilliant coaching by Scott to get the boys back into it and get the win. Physical finals like game that was outstanding coaching by Scott.
this is just as stupid as the unconditional Scott can do no wrong view.
we could say, win two finals by a couple of goals, come up against a Richmond team that’s hypothetically won two finals by 120 points, lose by a point after the siren and you’d get rid of the coach.

Oh yay, now we're treading back over 2011 again. Pitiable stuff.
Ridiculous post and shows how deluded our fan base is.
To imply Clarkson's 2008 premiership side was not his own, but that of Peter Schwab's, nonsensical.
Or we could go with reality and say something like this, lose the first final, win the second, lose the third final and we give the coach a pat on the backside for keeping us inside the top four all over again.
Yep, 4th favourite for the premiership and quickly closed into favourites after the first month of the season.
By the time finals came around, we were favoured in all games including the grand final.
But as geelong_crazy likes to continually point out, we lost Ablett and we got thumped in the 2010 preliminary final and were never expected to do anything the following year.
according to you a team that loses a prelim then loses the games best ever midfielder in the off season is somehow a coach inheriting a premiership team. go figure. It was his Coaching that won us the flag. If bomber wasn’t capable in 2010 than most coaches wouldn’t have been either. Scott had to fix up a lot of issues tactically with that team which took a lot of hard work
catscollector what did you think of the game?? Or are we going to be discussing only footy games from 7-9 years ago??
Exactly.
Clarkson took the crux of a great list and implemented a gameplan to win premerships.
Scott took a great list with a dead in the water gameplan and flipped it on its head. Whether or not people like the aesthetics of it is irrelevant. Thanks for proving the argument.
Whenever we win the Chris Scott thread takes a journey through time by the trolls. Last week it was 2013, this week it seems it may be 2011.
soon we will be time traveling back to discuss Chris scotts issues as a baby not eating his beans and broccoli.

I personally think you can point to the 1st quarter capitulation against Sydney in the 2016 prelim and ask genuine questions of Chris Scott. That and the first quarter last year against the Pies.
I was at both games and I never watched the Sydney game back as I couldn't bear it. So I'm a bit in the dark on that one.
However I will say that moving Blicavs out of the backline was questionable for mine. Taylor and Kolo cost us dearly in that first quarter. If you don't want to play Stanley as you don't think he makes a difference to Grundy's play whether or not he suits up that is fine. But the disruption to the defence for mine played a key factor in Collingwood having the game played on their terms which hurt us imo.
Those are the 2 games you can look at through his tenure and say 'There was a mis-step'. And that mis-step in hindsight cost us. With the Sydney game I dare say that going 7 goals down in 30 minutes of gameplay seems like you can pin a fair portion on the players not being ready mentally either in my opinion.
Obviously this is assuming that people care to go back and re-litigate the performance of Chris Scott in hindsight. I think those 2 games are 'fair game' to scrutinise
