What happens if we do - what happens if we make a prelim? I would think some posters on here would be shattered if we had some success this year.
Now that's piss weak. Answer the question. What happens if this year is a fail? :stern look

Problem is that the good and bad losses this year leave no definitive answer as to what to do.

We could just as well win every game for the rest of the year. ..or lose all of them.

That's the catch 22 of this thread

If u needed any convincing that BS ain't a good game day coach, just watch last nights first quarter. It is obvious that Spud is no match for Merrett. However, it took BS nearly 2 quarters to switch SDT onto Merrett. The move should've been made before 1/4 time.
Why wait to 1/4 time, it should've been corrected immediately.

Sorry DF, you're doing it wrong.

You must back your players in fiercely.

Nothing - he is safe. We won't pay 2 years out. This is why this thread and all the sooking is a waste of time.

Your turn. What's happens if we have a good result at years end?

Yeah he won't be given the arse due to the imbecilic contract offered to him by Wonder Woman. But what I find amusing is that if we fail again this season you have not indicated any unease that Scotts will still be coach.

The bottom line is this. We have finished 9th, 9th, 8th, 10th and are currently 7th under Scotts. Positions of mediocrity you seem to be comfortable with. Like I've said before you are easily pleased. :stern look

That's not what I said Bill.

We have been poor against Essendon, GC, Collingwood, Adelaide and Brisbane.
we were shit against Freo, but lucky Freo were runny poo. This is the game that has given people like Wild Scotts false hope. If Freo had used the ball better inside their 50 we would have been smashed. It had nothing to do with our pressure or our structures Freo just blew a sandshoe.

We were also shit against Richmond, thankfully Richmond are always runny poo.

No worries - you enjoy your pathetic thread and keep shaking your fist in anger when Scott's name is mentioned. It might be beyond blue time for you Der.

He has lost me completely.

I shall henceforth refer to him as Scotts.
"NORTH Melbourne players who can't win a contest will be dropped no matter how silky their skills are, Roos coach Brad Scott has warned.

...

"We'll be analysing it really closely and working out why we couldn't win the ball in a contest and we'll be holding the players really, really accountable on that," Scott said.

"Because the bottom line for us now is if you can't win the ball and you can't defend well enough to get it back, I don't care what you can do with the ball in your hands, you won't play for us, it's as simple as that.

"I'll have a really close look at it and hold myself accountable first, but then hold individuals within the team accountable and then we'll make our decisions based on that," Scott said.

That was from 22 March. It is good to see that, 4 months on, nothing has changed I.e. There is still no evidence of Brad's words being matched by his actions.

Interestingly though, his doppelgänger has some thoughts on accountability. Straight swap?
