I'm not on Twitter. Would someone who is be good enough to ask the coach why he won't leave our best half forward where he does the most damage instead of running him as a midfielder. I mean Stevie J of course.

 

[Ninty]

I'm hoping that was just pre-season mucking around, and come the real stuff SJ will be played forward.

Interestingly I was at a Level 2 Course over the weekend. A Game Analysis presentation by a Docker Coaching Staff Member featured SJ and his ability to run off , make space and finish. Very obvious from the 60 or so in the room that he is rated massively even in a Western Centric audience.

I'm not sure it's just "to offer some chop out if required". Methinks the coach sees him as an integral part of the midfield post Ablett.

Frankly, I'd prefer to see him in the front half with a licence to travel.

First instalment of "Tweet the Coach" on the GFC website now.

I like this idea & thought he answered questions well (there is one about SJ & forward or midfield on there too)

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Liked the first edition, thanks to Chris for making himself available each week when I'm sure he's incredibly busy. Great initiative by the club.

Thought it was instructive that Taylor Hunt was his DT pick (there you go Rabbi) and had some nice things to say about Bathie as well.

I'm tempted to tweet and ask which of the tall forwards he will drop for the second ruckman, but doubt he'll give that away

I'd love to see the club try and clone him.

Thought it's a really good innovation. Using today's technology to give supporters firsthand info is important.

Doesn't look like Mitch Brown will be a starter in the ones in round one. Small framed as he is I hope it's not too long before he's running around in the ones as he's an exciting talent.

Agree.

I think it's a great way to allow fans to have interaction with the coach and better get to know how he's thinking, on a medium that suits us.

To be fair, I took his comments that he does rate Mitch (he said he's be in the squad of 29) simply that we have a few forwards ahead of him at this stage. I reckon you'll see him debut at some stage, more than likely against another young side where his small frame won't cop as much.

Probably best to ask Nigel Lappin this question, though he kind of answered it in that SEN interview posted not too long ago

 

[Just do something]

Just a little thumbs up to me for getting my question read out on Tweet the coach today. Thought all the questions may have been pre fabricated.

I asked Chris how many games he watched each weekend to keep up with trends and game styles. Loved his response in his words i watch every game because i love footy.

Well Chris so do i.

 

[fpm84]

Hey, mine got read out too! The first question, about our rucks.

What was yours?

 

[alfy!]

I'm really enjoying all the videos that are posted up each week by the Cats. Someone should start a thread with links to new ones as they come out.

 

[Just do something]

Good question Kathryn

 

[catempire]

I got up today too. Must have been a BigFooty special!

 

[cats23]

Oh cool-3 Big Footy questions answered in one edition! ( i thought they may have been pre-fabricated too)

What did you ask Catempire?

 

[Wish Wellingtons]

I'd love to see the club try and clone him.

Isn't that where Menzel came from?

Also, is there anyway us foreigners can see these videos?

Bigpond is my nemesis

Why would you say except for _Me_ and Hendo! Other than the fact I am not on Twitter, why wouldn't I want to tweet the coach.

I can understand you saying _Me_, him being a "Bomber" sycophant and all, but I think Chris Scott is a great coach, and I hope he surpasses the feats of "Liar" Thompson in coaching us.

Chris Scott- 2011 Premiership Coach!

 

[AM]

A tweet today asked Chris about players to watch. Horlin-Smith and Schroder were the names he came up with.

 

[Rellik666]

I got my tweet on!!! I think it is a brilliant idea!

Loving Scotty!

#tweetthecatscoach - What is the one thing you make sure the guys don't do before a game?

He basically said that he makes sure the players don't take the win for granted and that they have to go out from the beginning to play! He noted later on that our slow starts are a worry and we must get going from the off....

This seems to be a culture from the last few years and may take a bit longer than 9 games to get it out of the boys! I think if we don't it will be our undoing this year!
