Play Nice Bye bye Brad

[Joey7]

I dont believe we should sack him - it would do nothing. Give us a list of coaches aside from clarkson and lyon - who would immediately get us into Top 4 next year, which is last year on contract. Its easy to jump the gun and just sack - what i would do, is do an incredibly detailed review of the entire football department, system, expectations, development etc..at the end of the year. Bomber thompson was just about sacked in 2006.....the rest is history. He has built this list, has built this group, if they are not playing for him we will find out with the remaining games this year and also next year (if he survives the review). The thing is - the list he has built in conjunction with Cam Joyce is very well placed, i dont subscribe to the ageing list crap, we have wood, garner, black, mcdonald, atley, bastinac, wright etc.. playing well below their best and havent come on as expected for various reasons.

We will find out a lot more in the back half of the year - but you cant forgot Brad Scott was the reason higgins and dal picked North - so clearly he knows something about football.

We're similar to 1909 University. :stern look

Fitzroy 1996?




Runs away quickly before roylion gets a whiff of this post.

Clarkson and Lyon needed a first start too. It's not about getting a coach who will immediately get us into the top four, it's about creating a much better culture than we currently have (whether this is Scott or someone else).

Yer i dont disagee - the culture in terms of people is fine, in terms of expecations and standards internally, i feel its disgusting.

 

[Bigeasy]

Well, yeah, yours is the popular opinion, no doubt.

I'd prefer to wait and see a bit longer. Happy for you to laugh at me for doing so.

Never used to be, some of us used to get vitriol from certain posters for attacking Scott the Snake oil Salesman. Let's hope Teffy comes back down the mountain.

The old Ace High card of Bomber Thompson...trumped by a full house of:

Eagles sacking Judge
Sydney sacking Eade
Hawks sacking Schwab
Collingwood pushing Shaw
Brisbane sacking Northey

The difference is from all those cases above - both in year 6 and both built the lists in similar fashion (inside talent first then outside polish).

Where the f*** are we going to get a Stevie J and GAJ from?

Fair dinkum turn it up and give me a spell.

I think recent embarrassment can be the spur we need to get back on the horse, I think if we bust a gut from here 9th is still in play.

Some people are taking pots shots at Brad over his recent presser, yet I found part of it quite enlightening.
We all know we waited until the 24 minute mark of the 2nd quarter for our first goal against the suns. This was quickly followed up with two more which closed the gap, before it all went downhill again.

Watching it all unfold I reached what seemed to be a logical conclusion that we were a bit shite.
But hold on … thanks to Brad’s interview insight, I now know the problem my be that we were actually trying to win. Apparently our strong desire to win may result in us not scoring, while the opposition may during that time score at will.

So obviously I look forward to us not trying to win in the future and possibly scoring a few more bloody goals.

LOL. :stern look

 

[Wild Bill]

I am still here. So is Scott.

 

[Phillyroo]

Sorry for the absence all... The combo of school holidays, new job, overtime, new baby and emotional needy first time mother in the house has left very little time for BF.
I'm sticking with Brad, and looking forward to a big win on Sat night.

 

[Wild Bill]

I was looking for the bye bye Crocker thread.

 

[Phillyroo]

Hahahaha that's pretty funny that Wild Bill posyed at virtually the same time. I guarantee we were not in bed together.

How was the sex session? Am thinking the sympathy would've been at an all time high after last weeks disaster

 

[nelroo]

I can't cop this bloke any longer.
Gives Daw a whack for his performance. At least he made a contest. Sure he didn't hold his marks but was Waite and Petrie any better?
Brad's quote about picking the side on performance..**** me I nearly spat out my coffee! What type of performance? Is he serious?? I can't stand to listen to him speak anymore.
