Did we make the wrong choice?

[Tex_21]

Sitting back now, and looking at how things have unfolded this season so far, did the hierarchy at Geelong make the wrong choice after the 2010 season, when they appointed Chris Scott? Now, before everyone jumps down my throat, think about it.

We had Sando all of last year (except the last two weeks, when the structures were already in place, and major changes were never going to happen), and looking at what he's done with Adelaide in a short time, maybe he should have been our head coach. Much like Longmire at Sydney, he could very well have been the driving force behind our 2011 success.

So far this year, we have been found wanting, and this may be the most rational explanation, along with the players severe lack of effort (apart from the Hawthorn game).

Massive overreaction after one poor performance.
That would be a better question come season's end.

ha ha ha ha ... oh wow.

Just wow

 

[manboob]

Are you ****ing serious...

Incorrect, it was a better question October 1 2011

I thought there would be a thread like this and I'm not let down.

Well done winner *slow clap*

Errrrr we won the fm premiership last year with a side many thought wouldn't even make top four. I think we made a pretty good choice.

The coach can't do it all and go on the ground and play himself can he?

Some of the mental hunger and physical effort required to win games against quality opposition isn't there.

That wouldn't change regardless of who was the senior coach.

 

[fpm84]

Oh my.

I suppose that if the Crows don't win the flag, appointing Sando was a mistake too?

Fair call.

shit post

almost as bad as another member claiming Pods/Hawkins are no go in 2012 and that Selwood should not have been appointed captain

 

[JUBJUB]

The OP was clearly dropped on the head at birth.
What a piece of shit thread.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

fair to say the Crows pressed up and ran like mad more than Geelong did

Agree. Freo fans still lament losing Scott

I reckon Sando will come back to Geelong as coach one day, a la Billy Googin after his stint at Footscray.

yeh similarly to the way Carlton played against your mob wasn't it

 

[Pure_Ownage]

No, Scott has been fantastic for us, can't believe I'm even reading such a thread.

What you're seeing now is a group in transition, and we have the right coach to manage it.

/end.

Delete this thread.

Embarrassing.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

I say its too soon to go sacking Chris Scott. I say lets wait until Thursday, and if the training session is a bit flat, then we sack him.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

bad thread

nothing wrong with sanderson but seriously chrsi scott won a premiership in his first year with a list that logic suggests should of been on the decline

we were alyways going to drop off to some extent , dont forget sanderson was their in 2008 and 2010 when we had the best list in afl and couldnt go all the way.We should of not stuffed up both those 2 years

unitl sanderson wins a permiership we have made the right choice

 

[trentmac21]

Delete this thread.

Embarrassing.

Seconded.

Anyone would think we finished bottom last year going by what the OP posted..

 

[FoxC]

Why did I sense - before the match - that a thread like this would surface if we lost today.

And I knew what it was about even before opening the thread.

The best thing I can say now is the disappointment about the match pales in comparison to reading this.

 

[God Mode]

The OP should probably be banned.

 

[highflyingcat]

Why not follow the lead of the Tigers in the past and sack the coach?

Not the most intelligent of posts

 

[JUBJUB]

The OP should probably be banned.

Can we trade the OP to Melbourne ?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

This one has run it's course. Don't think it can go anywhere productive.
