As much as i would prefer Harvey go on as mutual. i don't get all this reaction. Everybody on here was calling for the cull, but suddenly next minute it happens and everybody hates brad scott
Brad Scott should be sacked immediately

A cull of the other old players they are carrying. I'm pretty sure most didn't include Boomer in that group.
Beveridge is a far superior coach

There is a point to this thread in my view just not seeing it addressed. Clearly the club has to make decisions about not renewing contracts for older players, as all clubs do.
What astounds me is you would do it prior to the last H &A round. I know the club has said it's to ensure the faithful a chance to farewell them at home, but still. That kinda rubbishes the argument the club lacks respect for them, or it's fans at least.
I dont know what it means to how they will perform for the rest of the year, and the club must know the players view's better than us.
If they do come out and underperform for the rest of the season should Scott be sacked, probably in my view.
If they play well then absolutely not, he's a genius.

McCartney was a terrible matchday tactician, no argument there.
Great development coach you'd have to agree?
And I notice you avoided the Beveridge comparison. Talk about selling nonsense. Not even half the coach that Beveridge is, but as I said, to be fair you'd have to wait a few years.

There's another ad on SEN that says "Some clubs will never win premierships again... they just won't" which clearly refers to North (and Richmond).

Have you heard the one about Essendon?
No?
Because your club has become irrelevant

What's Beveridge done that Scott hasn't? You went out in an elimination Final last year, and you'll struggle this year especially if as predicted it's an away game in Perth. I am not saying its all down to the coaches, but it's a big part. As far as McCartney goes, well you don't employ him as a development coach, so yes, Scott was/is much better.

Doesn't deserve to be sacked but would love to know what a pass mark for next year is? Has been at the helm for so many years and this list is now his. He is responsible for what has happened. Surely its a reset/rebuild but how big of a reset? Do they go to bottom 4 and is that acceptable?

It's a very real possibility that Essendon will bypass Richmond next year.

They'd want to finish 8-11 and no lower, in fact the pressure would be on to be playing finals.
No point saying that well paid AFL players like Petrie etc should retire rather than need pushing...when overpaid coaches (on even more $) refuse to do it.
How is he the right man to pick/coach the right kids ? Did i miss something or hasnt he already proven he isn't the right guy.
Coaching an AFL club is an honour...least he can do is the honourable thing in return.

Geelongs is the highest they've ever had,more than 5000 more than the previous best.......but keep telling us how we're minnows.
BTW minnows that keep beating your "big 4" team year after year after year.

Well, to start off with, he's coached his side to 2 finals appearances in his first 2 years. Something Scott didn't do.
And with a younger list during his first 2 years. Of course we'll struggle this year genius, we've got half a side sitting in the stands. At full strength we're a top 4 calibre side. Again, testament to Beverdidge turning around the careers of half a dozen players and formulating a gameplan that made us competitive again.

Why is the Geelong hatred for Richmond so strong? We've given you Brad Ottens and a free win for 15+ years, you should be thanking us.

Bomber would be a much better fit. And a better coach regardless.

Their isn't a Geelong fan under 50 who hates Richmond.
Some of the older crew are pretty filthy about 1967, and the Tigers success through the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Scott can live or die by his decisions. I think he got it mostly right with the exception of 1 more year for Harvey but at the end of the day you have to move forward. The way this has been announced is a disgrace but I doubt that has much to do with Scott.

This is true, but if his strategy to go for the flag fell short. I think he needs to be held accountable to that. The team has stayed between 6-10 during his 7 years whilst the two prelims were great but I do think that, at least in retrospect it may have given us an inflated sense of the teams ability.
Immediately? A couple weeks out from finals? What a genius move. That won't cause chaos at all.
