Please see my post above, #3066. See especially the last paragraph.
But I have to say, what a bunch of petals you Scott-haters are. You belittle anyone who simply points out Scott's achievements and who doesn't think he is an idiot. You denigrate these moderate positions as examples of 'Scott-lovers'. Despite your extreme positions, you are given a green light to continue your mob mentality and abuse. Beyond that, some of things I have read about Scott on game day threads beggars belief. So disgusting, yet sadly common on this board.
we are petals? extreme positions?
we are a minority that post actual analysis, but we get shot down because its not what fanbois want to hear, the truth hurts
just because you disagree doesn't make our positions extreme
If you and all the other Scott-haters want to be taken seriously (by anyone), then I suggest you do the following. Start recognising the fact of his record and successes. Stop cherrypicking information so that it fits your view. Build your criticism from a less extreme and unrealistic position. You can criticise his strategy and his more recent finals record all you like. But do so in a way that has some bearing on reality. And show a little ******* humility. Half a dozen High School games aren't comparable to his resume. I know it's hard to believe, but internet access and a keyboard doesn't make you an expert.
Lets look at some more facts
The 2007-2011 team was one of the strongest in history with the number of all australians.
The introduction of the 2 franchise clubs diluted the talent pool in the draft making it harder for clubs to catch up with talent.
The club has recruited a lot of mature age players in the past few years, free agency has helped with this.
Taking those 3 things into account there is no surprise Chris Scott has a good home and away record, especially given the huge home ground advantage we have on a narrow ground.
You can read my post #3060 and see that our recent finals record is shocking.
You are saying our credentials aren't as good so our points are invalid?
This is just embarrassing, you dont need to have played the sport at a high level to be able to analyse it. Just because someone has played 200 games of AFL doesnt make them expert strategists.
I have talked before about game theory but those kinds of posts get ignored because people like yourself cant understand it so you just complain about the constant negativity.
Here is another fact for you, when people post analysis that gets ignored they end up just posting their opinions without the analysis.
