Just you wait and see
And you reckon what I said was baseless.They couldn't give a shit who coached if earning 1mil plus a season over very long term deals.

Collingwood.Which club?
And you reckon what I said was baseless.
Like you'd (or any person) knock back a million + in after tax income because you get the privelege for playing for Brad Scott?
Lol.
Are you suggesting that the coach and stability of a club wouldn't be a factor in the decision making process of an elite sports person as to which club they could choose to play for?
Especially when the choice is to leave a club that is playing high end finals?
I'd have thought that they'd want to have a pretty high level of confidence in the direction the club they're choosing to go to was taking.
What you are pushing is total bullshit, to make Scott appear far more important/persuasive than he is.
Scott would have (quite rightly) zero impact on their decision, both their clubs are top 4 so it's money (Martin) or history/money (Kelly) - so really both are money, Scott is entirely irrelevant, players play, admin look after off field.
Scott isn't what I think is important stability is. I truly believe that these players need to know that we have at least decided on the path we're taking.
Well the path recently is towards a wooden spoon
Players could be very excited/thrive on a new coach, now Scott has brainwashed so many supporters that he's the best, so impressive etc, has me baffled.
Clubs cycle down, it happens.
It's where we are going not where we've been they'd be interested in.
This I find interesting.
I would suggest that the vast majority take a more situational point of view.
Refer to my previous post.
What you are pushing is total bullshit, to make Scott appear far more important/persuasive than he is. Our club is clearly stable off-field.
Scott would have (quite rightly) zero impact on their decision, both their clubs are top 4 so it's money (Martin) or history/money (Kelly) - so really both are money, Scott is entirely irrelevant, players play, admin look after off field.
So the only example is a coach who already had led a team to a premiership, as well as 2 grand finals at the current club. If only Brad had had that success before we decided to extend his contract.Collingwood.
Yeah, nah.
New players coming to a new club are looking for stability. Nick Dal Santo admitted this on radio today.
In fact he actually asked Scotts in our interview with him, what Scott's intentions were? Was he going to stick around?
I'm not sure NDS can be believed.
As an ordinary free agent (unlike Waite/Higgins) what else is he going to say?
Bag the shit out of the coach that took him on and let us down, when Saints didn't want him?
Let's put it this way, I'd believe Dal Santo before I'd believe you.
No blue flamed Dragons tonight.
For an assistant, fresh experience in a modern system could balance that out though. If it's a good candidate it shouldn't matter.No more ****ing apprentices!
Try again.
Honest question, I don't remember: did Watson spend time around the coaching scene before he got a senior job?And as an unproven entity he could be a smashing success.
Or Tim Watson.

If this article doesn't further endorse Drew standing in my eye nothing ever will.Axed North stars endorse Scott
By SEN 9 minutes ago
Drew Petrie and Nick Dal Santo, a pair of players Brad Scott axed at the end of last year, have endorsed their former coach to remain at the helm of North Melbourne.
It has been reported the Kangaroos have offered Scott a two-year contract extension, which would tie him to the club until the end of 2020. Scott has been linked to the vacant Gold Coast Suns coaching role, but his former teammates believe he is the right man to lead North forward.
“He certainly did great things for my career and the footy club,” Petrie told SEN’s The Run Home.
“I know the boys finished 15th but there were fixe-or-six games that they were right in. They challenged the top sides. You saw the emergence of a lot of kids; Ben Brown had a fantastic year. You can take plenty of positive things from what he has done this year.
“I hope he gets the position. I think he is a great coach and I can’t speak highly of Brad and what he did while I was there.”
Petrie, who played 316 games and kicked 428 goals for the Roos, also admitted the call not to keep him at the club at the end of 2016 was the right move.
The 34-year-old announced his retirement this week and is about to embark on a finals campaign with West Coast.
“You look at how things have gone this year and he has made the right call,” Petrie said.
“The call not to give me another contract was a hard one but you look at how Brown went this year and I’m happy I got out of the way.
“His strength of his character was shown when he was able to make tough decisions when there was backlash. You look 12 months down the track and you ask yourself if he made the right decisions, and you say yes.”
Dal Santo, who made 62 appearances in the blue and white jumper, echoed Petrie’s sentiments.
“It’s a good move,” he told SEN Afternoons, about North offering Scott a new deal.
“I’m perfectly comfortable with Brad Scott remaining at North Melbourne. I never really understood the external noise of him going to the Gold Coast. The only part of that that made sense was Brad being able to extend his coaching career.
“The way Brad always spoke, the players at North have never felt like he was going to leave. It was always about building and getting better.”
Nope, straight from channel 7.Honest question, I don't remember: did Watson spend time around the coaching scene before he got a senior job?
He has one boy and two girls. Will hopefully see them in both our men's and women's teams.If this article doesn't further endorse Drew standing in my eye nothing ever will.
He's a true shinboner full of integrity and honesty.
Hope he has many future father and Sons!!! Would love to see the Petrie name back at the club.
NDS appears more invested in commenting on our coaching situation than laying a tackle, shepherding or working hard for North.
No wonder StK didn't want to keep him.
