The coach won't be going anywhere, I think that's the logical decision here and one Brayshaw and co would no doubt conclude as well.
But given the guy is a relatively junior coach still, it's also logical that he needs some quality heads helping him.
It's the boards responsibility to recognise these issues and take action to get him the help he needs.
If that means tapping a couple blokes on the shoulder, then that is what they will have to do.
Anything else and they are selling themselves and the club and it's supporters short.
Brad Scott stated earlier in the year" players don't get dropped they drop themselves" what hope have we got as a team when BS runs it like a public service and gives everyone a job for life.To be fair to Brad he said the same players aren't making the mistakes repeatedly, so its hard to drop them as he'd be dropping half the team by the sounds of it.
I der how many people looked at our draw and thought we would struggle to make the eight; and are now calling for Scott's head?
Self reflection is not a trait that is found on BF often.
No, no, no, no.
Think most people despite the tough draw would've expected to beat;
Adelaide
Gold Coast - yeah they beat some teams but they still lose a bit
Carlton - beat them last season. should be ahead of them.
Brisbane
Four bad losses.
Of course though.... it's the fault of fans.... c'mon mate. This season has been poor. Don't go blaming the draw. Even with the tough draw we should have won 12 games. Without question.

The truth is he is not required to tell us exactly what he is thinking. He is not required to give us the rationale for his decision making. Press conferences are there for coaches to give as little direct information as possible in 10 minutes whilst giving the press enough information to write about.While the coach and some of his decisions is one of the problems mate, arguably the bigger problem is how he handles himself verbally. This is most concerning. The excuses, the 'small things we can change' is obviously bull crap because they have been big and obvious things and they haven't changed. That's what gets on my nerves and probably a lot of others. He speaks to us like a used car salesman. He needs to take more responsibility.
To be fair to Brad he said the same players aren't making the mistakes repeatedly, so its hard to drop them as he'd be dropping half the team by the sounds of it.
Time to wield the axe and give some kids a go now that our season is officially over. We need to really make the tough list management decisions for our future, in order to this it is imperative we test the waters.
TRIAL/DEBUT
- Test Jacobs, Gysberts to see whether they are worth holding on to.
- Garner/A.Kennedy to debut
- Give L.Delaney & C.Delaney a chance, I personally don't think either are worth keeping but we'll never know if they don't play
ALREADY GONE IN MY EYES
- Anthony, Speight, Sierakowski, Richardson, Firrito (Harsh but we need to look to the future, he should retire on a good note).
Brad Scott vs Dean Laidley vs Wayne Schimmelbusch
Games Wins Losses Draws Win%
BS: 83, 41, 42, 0, 49.4
DL: 149, 72, 75, 2, 48.3
WS: 66, 31, 35, 0, 47.0
Interesting comparison with what many consider to be 2 of our worst coaches pre & post Pagan era.
Note, both coaches sacked.
B.Scott % could conceivably be behind both come years end.
Compelling stuff!
You may be correct, he could serve GWS extremely well.Doubt Spud would retire another club would pick him up for a 2-year deal e.g. GWS
Excellent post, pretty much mirrors my thoughts.The coach won't be going anywhere, I think that's the logical decision here and one Brayshaw and co would no doubt conclude as well.

You're so keen to knock the coach and players but I can't recall a single positive piece of constructive criticism. You're worse than the worst whingeing mother in law. :very stern look:Have bumped this up, people NEED to see it
So he could get a game at GWS and who else? Would he get a game at a contender? No ******* chance.
Are Geelong going to play finals?So does this mean its also bye bye Chris by the Geelong supperters too how they lost Adelaide?

We are the first team in 33 years to lose 5 games in a season by less than a goal. Now that's an achievement! Way better than a boring once a year flag.
If we are 6-10 next year do the glass full types think we should replace the coach? Or should we stay with Brad until Luke M has 70 games under his belt before we decide on a complete rebuild?
