Former Saints coach Scott Watters concedes he might have cost Collingwood 2011 grand final​

As Tom Hawkins took control in the 2011 grand final, Collingwood’s coaches box waited. And Scott Watters still rues not acting more quickly as the Cats spearhead proved the difference.

Former Collingwood defensive coach Scott Watters admits he should have made the positional switch to shut down Tom Hawkins earlier after he caught fire in the key match-up of the 2011 Grand Final.

Watters was part of the Collingwood coaching set-up in those dramatic years that involved the drawn Grand Final, the loss to Geelong and the succession plan between Nathan Buckley and Mick Malthouse.

Geelong key position star Hawkins turned the 2011 Grand Final as an injured Ben Reid failed to quell his marking power with Pies defender Chris Tarrant used in other match-ups.

Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse said this month he still had regrets about that contest and the lead-in to the game.

Watters told the Herald Sun’s SACKED podcast it was one of his big regrets in the coaches box that Tarrant didn’t get the job earlier when it was obvious Reid was in no shape to stop the white-hot Hawkins.

“It was a really tough call. We sort of gambled a little bit with Reidy and he had been such a terrific player, maybe we kept him a little too long in reality and it is probably one that I do take some responsibility for in the box as well, that we should have pushed it harder,” he said.

“Chris Tarrant we played in a number of different roles that year. Hindsight is always a great thing, and you don't get all of them right. If you had your time again 10 minutes earlier that change gets made.”
 

Malthouse admits his one big regret from 2011​

Collingwood won 20 games in the 2011 home-and-away season, losing to Geelong on two occasions, before once again being beaten by the Cats on the final day in September.

Despite being the dominant side all year, the Pies couldn't get past Geelong in the grand final, which was also Mick Malthouse's final game in charge of Collingwood.

Speaking on the new Sacked podcast from the Herald Sun, Malthouse opened up on that season and what it was that cost the Pies a premiership, but said it had nothing to do with overconfidence.

On grand final day, Malthouse played an injured Ben Reid on Tom Hawkins, and conceded on the podcast he may have waited too long before making a switch, although he said that in a perfect world, he would have gotten a retired star to do the job on the Geelong powerhouse.

Reid defends going against the groin​

BADLY beaten by Tom Hawkins, the All-Australian defender Ben Reid defended his decision to play after having to overcome a groin injury to make it on the field.

''I felt good, the physios gave me the tick,'' he said. ''I still back my decision to play. I am just disappointed, I guess, with the way I played, and we couldn't get a win as a team.''

Hawkins kicked three goals, and could have booted six but for some wayward kicking.

But most importantly he took a match-changing four contested marks in the last quarter as he bullied Reid in marking contests.

Reid admitted to tiring and lacking strength in his legs in that last term, but said that was no excuse.

''I guess a bit of wear and tear on the body come the final, and Tommy got on top of me there, and it was pretty disappointing. But I will use that come the preseason, and have that in the back of my mind.

''I guess I just didn't have that push in the last quarter that I needed, and the first half I felt pretty good.

''But as the game went on I felt bit tired. I am gutted. It happens. I have got to move on now and use it.

''I spoke to Nathan Brown after the game. He has had a year out, and I feel for him as much as for anyone else, being a close mate of mine, and I will work with him over the off season and come out better for it.''

Reid said he had not felt that he had torn his groin again. ''Last week it was just a bit of soreness. I don't have any excuses for the way I played.

''He got on top of me. He was too good on the day - that happens. You get beaten every now and then, and he beat me today.''
