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

As said lots over the last 5 or so years, that is our list.
Expecting more from the same players, particularly Tomahawk, is not going to happen , but accepting all their positive attributes still gives us a smiling chance.
They will be there and abouts

Agree, although I do reckon we can expect more from Tom in terms of the discipline and umpires stuff. Surely that is the easiest area to improve in at the age of 33.

Problem is that's the age when players start to get frustrated.

Robbo thinks we'll be a big slider this year, but thought Riewoldt and Lewis gave a pretty fair assessment of the Cat's chances in '22.

Looks like we are trying to bring Daisy Pearce in as an assistant coach.
Wouldn’t be a bad move. Seems to know her stuff.

Better judges than I say she's astute with the game, but that voice......

I just told my brother and his head exploded.

Give her a shot, I reckon she's a rippa.

Well guess we won't be able to hold out to get her for our AFLW/VFLW teams - can totally get behind her being involved with our AFL side, and get someone like her with her knowledge of the game

was playing for Brisbane. Some of you do not know how tough he is when he becomes moody.
As i know him i respect him because he knows his footy.
He isn't a what people would label others as a karen. He doesn't whinge. He comes up with suggestions.

Her voice, to me, has a lilt like fingernails on a blackboard..........

Assuming she can deliver worthwhile messaging, the determining factor in its success will hinge on the degree of respect she receives from the playing group I reckon.

 

[standupand]

Oh yeah.. Apparently they had interest from Clarkson too but they felt he was too small for the job, Dew's beer gut unfortunately was so large it squashed the selection panel, Worsfold's nose hair was thought to be too distracting for the playing group, Longmire's bald patch was deemed to pose health and safety issues and Buckley's voice was below the human frequency range..

 

[Willo_]

Daisy would be a great get IMO, another fresh voice and someone who has a great handle on the modern game... She leaves the rest of the 7 bozos for dead and is widely respected.
That article seems pretty positive that it will happen so interesting times

The small matter of having the skills to actually do the job might help too I would have thought.

 

[Cataholic]

Agreed.

I acknowledged, in an earlier post, the seeming consensus that she had the requisite skills, and from there was just speculating that the final obstacle for her would be 'respect'.

They will do what they are told so they don't have to hear it twice

I would too!

Presuming she's done all the same training other assistants do. As I understand there's a fair bit involved in just being considered.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Not sold she will actually be a good coach in the AFL. Big jump from Womens league to the AFL in terms of professionalism ( full time compared to amateur part time) and also the quality of coaches is below the standard across the womens league compared to the mens league due to the financial differences available. So there is a realistic gap to bridge to be a successful AFL coach coming across from the womens league.

I can see the brickbats coming now but I vote no.

• The build-up to the 2022 season reminded him of the feelings he had upon entering the coaching landscape in 2011, a season in which Geelong secured a third flag in five seasons;

Here we go lol

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

"To persist with a losing plan is akin to banging your head against a brick wall. But you've got to weigh that with the chances of that big shift working any better, and that is always impossible to work out."

Scotty has been reading myself and others bigfooty posts over the offseason it seems.. Took him a bit longer to click but seems like he is starting to see the light.

 

[AM]

I’ll get over my dislike for him if we adopt a better game style.

He’s a good coach, but we need a change. If he’s there for 3 more years then no, I won’t all of a sudden fall into his arms and praise to him.

Balance, not love, was what I was suggesting.

 

[Drunkcat]

Did not watch GWS last game but Stevie J was coach for the day
