Certified Legendary Thread 2 x Premiership Coach Chris Scott contracted to 2026 (aka the Chris Scott volumes

[Spazz Cat]

I hope you are referring to Mitch Clark and not Hendo in this case.

Yes I am Dubs.

Once at his peak he was selected in the AA squad. Not in the team. In the squad.
At his peak. He can't even kick.
Now let's argue if he is or is not Elite?
Elite! Like Tom Hawkins or Bontempelli

At someone’s peak, if they are selected in the 85th percentile of what they do, are they good at that profession or not

 

[PhatBoy]

You can see why I'm sceptical on whether some of you are CS fans or Geelong fans.
Blitz is Elite! cause he's a Scott product.
Happy to see Chappy f**ked off, then cheer on Isaac Smith.

Wake up to yourself. Stop deluding yourself into thinking people rate someone because they like the coach that person played under. It’s moronic

They absolutely do. No question.
Yourself just called him elite literally just a few posts back.

You make good points. CS has been evolving in his role, as has the team been changing

 

[SkittleCats]

One gone, the other to follow?

Not really. They were in the top 85th percentile once.
I've won an employee of the month before. I wasn't good my job I can tell you that much.
I didn't give a f**k.

I can't deal with the last bit. But that's just me.
I know I'm old school. I don't like FA or get into trade week either. I don't think I'm changing.

It means you were good at your job when you won it

 

[STPer18]

Will Cook try and get Scott to the Blues now?

 

[Spazz Cat]

It means you were good at your job when you won it

So he's elite?

The boat is sinking and they want to get off before it sinks.

 

[Poetic Justice]

The boat is sinking and they want to get off before it sinks.

I’ve seen this said a few times now as if Brian wasn’t already leaving Geelong

like wtf do people have nothing smart enough to clutch on to?

 

[Spazz Cat]

The boat is sinking and they want to get off before it sinks.

To be fair he is not our CEO anymore. He's not really leaving us to go somewhere else.
Big challenge for him. Seems like he likes a challenge.

And Enright? Knights?

 

[Sticksman]

He was employed on the basis of a handshake for most of his time at Geelong. He had better look for a iron clad contract with the shifty business types at Carlton.

Yeah its a challenge. He's not old school Carlton either. They won't like it.
And as you say he hasn't wormed his way in there with his business and family. Work to do.

 

[cats_09]

And Enright? Knights?

Out of contract

With Knights signing so soon after our season finished, thinking that maybe there had already been discussions with WCE and they were waiting until our season finished to finalise things

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

An absolute dud, as he proved in the PF with Port. Never a 'tough' player, I remember seeing him pull out of so many potential physical clashes that I was more than happy for him to go to Port. I can't for the life of me understand why the MC kept on playing him up until the end of his time at GFC. The very definition of 'downhill skier'. I have rarely if ever despised a Geelong player more than Floglop (on a football level, of course, I have nothing against him or any other player in the league on a personal level).

Disagree entirely. Had his ups and downs, but for me, how you leave a team (or even more broadly, an employer) says a lot about a person. His final game against Adelaide was outstanding.

Wasn’t perfect, but I have a lot of time for Motlop.

 

[Sydney Malakellis]

The boat is sinking and they want to get off before it sinks.

I think you'll find it's Cats leaving the sinking ship.

I'll see myself out

 

[someday-somehow]

record membership despite Covid lack of attendable games works well for me.

That conclusion is a stretch at best

 

[PhatBoy]

So he's elite?

No. I don’t remember saying that he is. For a time I think he was.

 

[Spazz Cat]

No. I don’t remember saying that he is. For a time I think he was.

Yes you did.
What position do you think he was elite in?

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

First knights, then Enright, then possibly Scarlett and now Cook.
Shit has finally hit the fan.

 

[Spazz Cat]

First knights, then Enright, then possibly Scarlett and now Cook.
sh*t has finally hit the fan.

I'm glad Enright's gone. Should not of been a forwards coach.
Did you see a centre square set-ups last week? Glad Knights is gone too.
Not sure if this all people jumping ship.
Even if it is. Jump.
