I'm no Chris Scott sympathiser, but when he took over at the end of 2010, the odds would of been long in us making 7 out of 8 finals series including a premiership..... So to call him "poor" is quite harsh I think..... On topic, I see all 3 teams playing finals again, with the Giants to be top 4, and the Cats & Swans to be 5-8.
You make a good point. And this sounds churlish but one has to question how much credit for 2011 he deserves. He was on the record repeatedly during and after that season as saying he went into that campaign looking to learn, rather than to impose his will and strategy on a very successful group. Was that a players' flag rather than a coach's flag ala Joyce in 1991.
When I watch Geelong get towelled up in finals time after time one has to describe his coaching as poor.
I wish my club was losing finals with a "poor coach", I'd swap Scott for Richo. But at the same time, feels like Selwood, Danger, Duncan and co are being wasted.
