All of them except Bomber are practical it's just you don't think they are because you're so deluded you think we can win a flag under Scott next year. We are doomed under Scott; done, gone, finished as a legitimate finals force. I don't take pleasure in saying it but we lack the depth in our list, the gamestyle, the speed and skill, and when it comes to the crunch the players simply don't show enough passion and clearly don't play for him. 2016 will prove to be a one off and with a harder draw and in all likelihood more injuries next year and the loss of Enright, Caddy, and Bartel we're going nowhere but backwards which will mean goodbye Chris Scott - and hello optimism for the future of the GFC instead of the darkness we currently inhabit as a club.
Are you so sure that we won't win a flag under Chris Scott again?
We came within one game of a Grand Final, after missing finals the previous year, so we improved this year.
I think that you take great pleasure in saying that you want Chris Scott sacked. In fact, I am convinced that you want Chris Scott to be sacked MORE than you want Chris Scott to coach us to another premiership, just so you can be proven right.
Besides, why is it always on the coach to motivate the players? How about they motivate themselves? In 2007, it wasn't some rousing speech that Bomber made which turned the club around, it was Paul Chapman and others saying that enough was enough, and that they needed to lift. The playing group motivated themselves, and got honest with one another.
Why can't the players do that again? Against Carlton, Collingwood, St. Kilda and Sydney, our players didn't run, chase or tackle. They had chance after chance to get back in the game, but gave up contests too easily. The players don't care enough, and it doesn't matter what any coach says, if players decide not to come and play.
Why didn't Blicavs play better after his B & F year? Why couldn't Caddy, Duncan and Guthrie help Dangerfield and Joel Selwood in the midfield more? Why couldn't Ruggles learn to kick? Why couldn't the defenders stop run ons of goals? Why don't other forwards step up and help Hawkins? Why couldn't Motlop be consistent? Why couldn't players be up for every game, not just the ones against finals sides? This isn't all up to the coach. Personal pride needs to come into it somewhere along the line.
The reason we lost this year was one reason-attitude! Our attitude stunk like it did in 2006. When we were playing a top team, we brought our A-game (we are the only team to beat the 2016 premiers, twice this year and deliver the Bulldogs their biggest loss this year). I am convinced that if we got the Bulldogs in the Grand Final, we would have beaten them, because we did it twice already. However, we came out against the Swans thinking that it was a fair accompli. That's on the players.
If we won the flag, you sure as hell wouldn't give Chris Scott any credit for it whatsoever, so if we don't, you can't give him blame either. If he is part of the reason of our failure, then he is part of the reason for our success as well.
Paul Roos wouldn't have done much better if players decide when to "play". We are better than Collingwood, Carlton and St. Kilda, and should have beaten them all.
Most games this year, I could tell two minutes in whether the players were switched on. Why switch on some weeks and not others? If it was the coach who couldn't motivate them when they lost, then he must have motivated them when they won. Why not blame the players themselves for losing as well? They are the ones going out there and doing it. If you praise the players when they win, you have to criticize them when they lose, and if you blame CS when we lose, then isn't he also responsible for our wins as well? You can't have it both ways.
Look, you hate Chris Scott. You probably hope he dies in some horrible way (since Geelong don't sack coaches) and I bet if you saw him crossing the road, you would speed up. But then, you're too stupid to understand what I am getting at anyway, and I am ashamed that you claim to follow the same club as me. You and BiggyBoy are proof that all clubs have idiot supporters. So, just go back to sucking Mark Thompson's dick, and keep your ill-informed comments to yourself.
