If you don't agree with Saintly you 'blow' the coach. And to 'back' Scott is to be a '*head.'

What a post. What a poster.
Yeah quite why he keeps bringing his retorts back to tiresome, repetitive rants (about people he decrees are 'Scott supporters') based on oral sex I have no idea.

Not sure whether he thinks it's funny, or kinda scary, or a bit tough, but it keeps on coming - as night follows day.

Maybe it's a technique that's worked successfully in his previous coaching.

Stay out of my thread thread if you don't like it.
It isn't your thread and just because you begin a thread doesn't mean you have free reign over all who enter it.

I wonder why BBB 1 and 2 were locked?
Read back through the last 20 pages or so for a clue, as those were heading down the same path but were mostly closed post a contract extension.

This thread's heading for the s-bend if the rubbish of the past few pages particularly continues, and we'll adopt a zero tolerance approach with it's inevitable successor.

Play nice or face the consequences.

Funny how Rohan Connolly in the Age today has an article on North arguing that in the three games we've lost by a kick Nth and the coach should be praised for the feat, given who we've played and the younger players who have improved out of sight.

He's not even a Nth supporter ...

Yeah, strange how he thinks the biggest insult is to reference gay sex.

Lol - everytime that twits puts stern look at the end of his posts he looks like a full blown nuffy.

Nuffies go on my ignore list!! stern chooks
LOL. A full blown nuffy you say. Here ye is a tip for yah. Go to the closest bathroom and have a look in the mirror. You will see a full nuffy right in front of you. One that claims Coaches aren't that important when it comes to success. One that can't answer a simple question of Why do Sporting Organisations of Note have Coaches? Come on Ironstein give me something? :stern look

Turn it up! He says we should focus on the positive in how we got to winning positions as opposed to coughing up 5 goal leads. Not sure he is suggesting that we heap "praise" on Scotts. He actually points how Scotts should drop some of the under performing veterans for kids. Something that many of us have been banging on about. Not once does he use the term "praise". :stern look

Serious questions need to be asked to the club why a legend in boomer was delisted yet they cannot drop senior underperforming players. I really wish fans could protest this
Better still, bring Boomer back, would not be any worse than what's happening now, in fact it would be an improvement with Boomer being an 'On Field leader' and more of a confidence builder for younger players....and then some!

Suspect that the decision was made when we thought we had Wells.

No your logic is wrong..

The list from 2016 is different to who played last night.

Boomer
NDS
Spud
Petrie
Bread MacKenzie
Nahas

Injured- Waite...Wright...BJ.

It's like comparing bananas and apples...fruit...but not the same.

2016 has very little to do with Rd 1-5 2017.
You have some real strange logic there. There are common denominators everywhere so last year's capitulation is relevant.

Turn it up! He should be praised for getting the team to the competitive level it is. Not for everything he does in general. [But not condemned for everything he does in general either]

And yes, everyone agrees that certain veterans may be cooked, and the selection committee should pick their prospective replacements now.

Hang on a tick. What you think and what Ro-Co says are 2 different things. Like I said at no stage does he write "Praise Scotts" :stern look

Swallows continued selection becomes even more laughable when you consider he delist Harvey who was still performing at an acceptable level.. Brad doesn't have the answers imo ..
After 7 years we still can't exit our D50 with any real structure.

After 7-8 years we can't defend kick ins either, we are the easiest team to exit from a kick in. Teams often get it to at least the wing without us touching it..and these aren't even kicks to contests.

I didnt see it either and was made aware of it that afternoon.
Out of interest, how did he respond?

EDIT: 16 touches 7 tackles for the game.

Not sure when the spray happened but these aren't exactly stats to write home about.
Mick Malthouse ripped into him and then apologised for sounding too harsh on SEN too.

We haven't sacked a coach since before I was born. Our board is either spineless, too chummy or ill equipped to sack a bloke mid contract. So while he probably NEEDS to go, the bigger odds are simply on the opposite until post 2018. That's how it stands for me.

Having a reputation as a sporting organisation of seeing out contracts and not sacking coaches but working with them in transitioning out is not a bad thing.
