The Emu - for what its worth, my reply last night was a bit uncharitable, shouldnt have called you a jackass. but i was out with friends in adelaide and figured id make a few posts to acknowledge the situation and congratulate the tigers. couldnt be bothered getting too deep into stuff on here while out, though. i do believe you deserve a considered reply, though.
still believe you should re-read most of my posts... dont believe i have anything to 'apologise' to you about. ive said in these threads a few times i have some doubts about scott and his approach. my recent posts in here have been neutral, and made no claims on scott being great or you being 'proved wrong'. if you can extract some quotes where i directly challenged your support of the club, that scott woukd streak the finals and 'shut you up' etc, ill happilly apologise. most of my posts, i believe, canvassed good and bad possibilities - often independent of scott. i mean, i even said scott could win the flag this year and still not necessarily be a great coach!
i also still believe youre wrong about a few things overall... i dont believe scotts finals record is due to him being a 'terrible finals coach'. just dont think we are that great. i also dont think 'win flag = great coach, lose flag = terrible coach' is necessarily true. im perhaps over-simplifying your position there, but i do think your a tad dogmatic about 'all things scott', and you being right about last night doesnt change that.
like i posted last night, we were 5 close games (a bit 'lucky', i guess) from finishing maybe 11th, yet we finished 2nd and got pumped by a ruthless richmond!
im happy for them, though - like ive always said, sport is a game where you must except the downs with the ups. i have, and if we cannot turn it around and make the GF, im going to be supporting richmond hard!
so for what its worth, im sorry for calling you a jackass, i admit last nignt went how you expected (pribably worse, actually) and i admit i didnt see that coming!
hope there are no hars feelings - but if you do want to ectract some quotes of mine for direct apologies on things, go for it, and if required i will gladly offer as many as are needed!
and hey - we ARE actually still in it!
to finish, i stand by ALL my posts in this thread regardless. i think you might have skimmed quite a few and misses my broader points in your haste to disagree, to be honest.
