Play Nice Bye bye Brad

[Limerick]

Our season to date has been way less than most anticipated and the focus is on Brad and the FD.

What results over the remaining games would be enough to give Brad his last year (2016)?

Based on current form, which has been erratic, what is everyones projection for the remaining 9 games. For mine its LWW??LLLL. With this result he, and others, need to be moved on.

Because our list is average.

Serious question, do the recruiting staff report to Scott or Walsh?

 

[Only Forwards]

I was going to include James Hird but I thought the names may have got by you.

And yet still no actual response to the question.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Wow - So Laidley is now a genius coach and a martyr.

I should bump some old Laidley threads. He got even less love than Scott.

No, I said he achieved the same as what Scott has achieved, and Scott is proving himself to be far from a genius coach.

You are making a fool of yourself here Wild Bill, I sincerely hope you are severely trolling us all!

I wouldn't be expecting one any time soon....

Well i got bumped into this crap thread. He is not getting sacked this year not matter how much posters sook. This time next year and things could be different if we are in a similar position.

I will start to worry about it then. As for now it's a waste of time.

Laidley did more with less talent. Let's be honest it was a miracle we made finals let alone a prelim in 2007.

 

[Wild Bill]

Bring back Laidley!!!

 

[Deadeyeroo]

eh it's true, he's racked up 30 possies and you'd never notice.



is skilled?...i didn't specifically say that, but yes he kicks clutch goals like against wce. disposal efficiency is low due to lack of outside runners giving him and option.

Yes is skilled. Like the most of the team their disposal is atrocious.

Line the 2 sides up. You maybe surprised. Which one of our forwards would kick goals on Archer?

For now we have wasted 6 years of mediocre footy

But hey let's worry about it next year!

Should we just ignore playing in a prelim? How much fun was the ess and cats finals? Mediocre fun or a lot of great fun?

 

[Mav]

Serious question, do the recruiting staff report to Scott or Walsh?

Scott sits on a List Management committee with recruitment staff. I presume this team has the autonomy to make decisions with asking Walsh.

 

[Passmore]

Bring back Laidley!!

This thread continues to deliver.

Did I say that?

What about losing to nearly all the bottom 8 teams for the entire of 2014! I loved that we didn't have the right attitude

I am also having great fun this year. Having playing finals in 2014 was enough for me, I am stoked to have kangas go even further back than when we started

The same issues we have had from the start of brads era has never been fixed

I see Wild Bill AKA Brad Scott is off the nest, the four day sympathy sex session has ended with no doubt broken chandeliers and wardrobes. Anywho I haven't bothered reading all of his musings but I'd like to state for the record. How ever you want to rate our season and yourself ( Brad Scott) and yes Petrie and Waite are much better footballers than say Daw. Both should retire at seasons end. So I'd suggest in Brad's last year of his contract we should focus on who we draft with pick one. This nit picking and he said she said won't get us anywhere. And Bill just for you the club thought we'd finish top four in season 2015.

FWIW I think we'll play a final and lose heavily, I just hope that numbskull JB isn't given a pen and signs of on a contract extension for his lover BS.

We have played 3 bottom of the ladder teams - 2 wins and a loss.

Nearly all? Lol

If we had the same W/L record but lost through having a proper crack and best 22 selected each week, I wouldn't be as disappointed.

Case in point, we have had many disappointing losses and we're only at the halfway point of the season. Sadly, team selection has not reflected this.

I'm not talking about dropping the entire team but players like Gibson/Atley have had extended runs of bad form without penalty (I'm not counting the game he was dropped) Meanwhile guys like Ben Brown/Maj/Froggy wondering what they have to do cement a spot in the side, especially considering their form and age when the more senior players aren't extracting the digit.

That's not the recruiters, thats not Walshy, the buck stops with Brad who as coach has the final say.

Plain and simple, standards are not being met and players are not being punished for not meeting them. We have banged on about this fact for the past 18 months and it has been illustrated perfectly this season.

There's a few questions I'd like Brad to answer and they are:

1. What are the standards and non negotiables you have set?

2. What is your solution and have you been doing when those standards aren't met?

3. What have been the goals of this group and what is the rough timeline you expect to reach them?

I daresay the overall resposne to those questions would be extremely underwhelming and he hasnt given us much to go on regarding them his entire reign as coach. The answers enough would be enough to turn the most loyal of his supporters.

He can be given a pass for the first 3-4 years for letting the list gel, players develop and understand the way they want to play, I have no issue staying the course over that period.

We are now in year 6, and the team has confused as much as ever, players haven't developed as hoped and there is still the same rigid stubbornness to team selection and game plan.

Lot easier to swallow losses when you know the best 22 have been selected and all was done in the box to assure a win.

Brad is still in development mode. 6 years long enough and it's not working.

Brad and the group need to have a total rethink of mindset philosophy, otherwise major changes need to be made.

No personal abuse folks.

Grant, Archer, Simpson, Stevens, etc?

When he lost the talent he was a bottom 4 coach.

Think you'll find we've lost 2.
