Playing poorly after a bye and playing poorly in finals are pretty much one and the same now since they introduced the pre-finals bye.

Talks about what happens on the field stays on the field, yet takes shots at Maxwell years after those games were played.

Back in 2013 the Nuggets sacked coach Karl after he won the coach of the year award, and subsequently tanked in the finals.

If Scarlett wasn't a brilliant footballer with lots of money he'd be a serial killer by now.

I reckon Ross Lyon might of Coached The cats to the 2011 AFL grand final. Just wont get that 19-3 record.
Ross Lyon would of had the forward line to do it too. 2 solid KPFs in Tom Hawkins and James posiadly. 2 goal scoring smalls/medium forwards in Stevie Johnson and travis varcoe and a rotating mid in Paul Chapman.
Lyons Freo forward line up consisted of one KPF in Matty Pavlich at the end of his career, 2 small forwards in walters and ballantyne. a medium tall at 187cm in chris mayne as CHF and a ruckman in zac Clarke in a forward flank.
Ross Lyon was a good enough coach to beat your mob in 2 finals, 1 at the mcg in 2012 and in your turf in 2013.
Scarlett is a massive dickhead. A schoolyard bully.

I know that the 2016 finals series was a few years ago.....
But its one game that stood out in my memory.
Im talking about the 2016 Prelim final between the cats and Swans at the MCG.
To this day im still scratching my head how The swans dominated that 1st half. Swans kicked 11 goals to 2 in the 1st half and in the end won 15.7.97 to 8.12.60. Both teams had similar amount of scoring shots.
Swans eased off the pedal in the 2nd half kicking only 4 goals.
That game the cats should of won narrowly kicking 13.7.85 to 9.13.67. some swans played out of their skin that night.
I still held on that firm view had the cats made that Grand final, they would of beaten either giants or dogs. They definately had a good record over the dogs at that point too.

But who deserves credit for 2011?
Scott said repeatedly throughout 2011 that he was there to learn the Geelong way.
That's not to say he deserves no credit for 2011, but for the same reason why Alan Joyce is not regarded as a great coach, one must consider the context of the premiership and compare it to his subsequent efforts.
That is not even the point.
Blicavs is a shitload better defender than whoever replaced him.
Grundy is the all Australian ruck and you have to assume he will win that position. Scotts plan should have been to neutralise that somehow.
Instead he robbed the backline of maybe its best player to play ruck. The result is Geelong still lost the ruck anyway and got they beaten in the back line as well.
It is just dumb.

What I don't understand is that he was still going on about the Stanley dropping on Monday night. Accept it and move on, the guy has to learn to let things go and worry about what's coming.
The home ground thing, ffs mate, nearly every other amateur and junior competition will play at neutral or opposition grounds and if you are the best team you will win there or anywhere.

I believe the Home Ground discussion was only intitated to try and steer the narrative away from Geelongs poor finals record and their inability to win after a bye.
Nick Del Santo criticized Brad Scott for playing his players out of position adn unable to get the best out of them when he forst went into the media, I can see the similarities when hearing Geelong supporters talk about their team, how Chris has managed to avoid more robust ctiricism is fascinating.
Actually I went to my son’s VAFA final on the weekend-it was played on a neutral venue. Always is.
Lol- you have no idea. Half our board want him sacked.

Or on the other hand imagine how good Geelong would have been pre-Scott if only their coach at the time wasn't smashing cocaine & ladyboys while trafficking commercial quantities of amphetamines as a side hustle.
Don't visit the Geelong board, but was implying criticism from the media.
Oh sorry didn’t get it. Yep agree -the media always gives Scott an easy time-never push him. Just cop his obtuse responses. I’d actually like them to push him more.

Not sure if the playing group had enough of Thompson in 2010, maybe they did? His relationship with GAJ had soured at least. Either way though, that team had enough quality to be good no matter who was coaching.
