Beautiful and Geelong now there's two words you dont hear in the same sentence often.Beautiful day down here in Geelong, perfect occasion to celebrate the MULTIPLE premiership winning coach Chris Scott as he becomes the most capped coach of the most famous club in the country.
There's a good reason those flogs up in Melbourne can't wait for their long weekends to make the trip down this way. Where else would you rather be?Beautiful and Geelong now there's two words you dont hear in the same sentence often.
Difference being you never hear 'beautiful' and '9thmond' in the same sentence.Beautiful and Geelong now there's two words you dont hear in the same sentence often.
I think the Blues will keep you just out of the 8Difference being you never hear 'beautiful' and '9thmond' in the same sentence.
I think we'll lose by a bit less. We looked like we could win the game against Sydney. Just we had multiple brain fades under pressure.Geelong by 105 points.
Freo have put the cue in the rack, sent their best players in for season ending surgery.
Going to to be a brutal afternoon for Cockburn I fear (please prove me wrong Freo)
He will be remembered as the smelliest coach of all time, phowar!!!AFL congratulates Chris Scott ahead of coaching milestone

The AFL wishes to congratulate the Geelong Cats' Senior Coach Chris Scott ahead of his record-breaking 305th game this round.
Scott is set to become the longest-serving coach in the club's history, passing Australian Football Hall of Fame member Reg Hickey who coached 304 games for the Cats.
Scott has coached the Cats to 209 wins, three draws and 92 losses. He has coached them to 28 Finals appearances, three Grand Finals and two Premierships in 2011 and 2022. He was named All Australian coach in both premiership years.
AFL Chief Executive Officer Gillon McLachlan congratulated Scott ahead of the milestone.
"Breaking the all-time record is a special achievement," McLachlan said.
"You have an incredible will to win but also see the broader perspective for our sport.
"You are one of the great leaders of our game, both on-field and off-field, and I'm thrilled you're breaking the record for Geelong."

The AFL historian has compiled a list of Scott's achievements:
- Scott holds the best winning percentage (68.75 per cent) for any coach with more than 100 games in charge, with the next highest being John Coleman at 67.6 per cent.
- He coached the Geelong Cats to a premiership in his first year in the role (2011), becoming the first to do so since Alan Joyce in 1988.
- Scott started his career with 13 consecutive wins, which is the best winning streak from debut by any coach. The previous record was 10 Johnny Leonard who coached South Melbourne in 1932.
- Geelong have been in the top eight for 240 of the 291 home and away games Scott has coached. Only Mick Malthouse (314 from a possible 469) has spent more weeks inside the top eight during the top eight era.
- Scott is one of 11 people to coach more than 300 games. Geelong and Essendon are the only clubs with two coaches in this group, with Reg Hickey being the other Geelong representative alongside Scott.
- He became the quickest coach to 300 games in Round 15 this season, reaching the milestone in 12 years and 89 days. He beat the previous record by 16 days which was held by Ross Lyon.
- He has coached 117 different players, with 27 playing more than 100 games. Six players have played more than 200 matches under Chris Scott.
- Scott has had the pleasure of telling 61 players that they will be making their AFL debut. Those 61 players have gone on to play a combined 3,656 games
- Longest serving players with their entire career under Scott: Mark Blicavs (245), Cam Guthrie (236), Jake Kolodjashnij (169), Jed Bews (164), and Tom Stewart (143)
- He has made the Finals in 11 out of a possible 12 seasons so far. This season, he could become the 10th person to have coached in 12 Finals campaigns.
- The nine coaches before him are all members of the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
- Round 23 in 2015 is the only time where it was known at the beginning of the game that his side couldn't win the Premiership that year.
- He has come up against 46 different coaches so far. Nathan Buckley (7-8) and Adam Kingsley (0-1) are the only coaches Scott has a win rate less than 50 per cent.
- He also shared the field with 37 of these coaches during his playing days with the Brisbane Lions – 32 as opposition players, four as teammates (Michael Voss, Justin Leppitsch, Craig McRae and Brad Scott) and one as both (Ross Lyon played one game with and one game against Scott).
- Scott has coached 56 games where the margin was 10 goals or more. Geelong were the victors in 52 of those games.
- He has coached 10 games where the margin was decided with a kick after the siren – three more than any other coach. Geelong won six of these games, lost three and drew one.
- Scott has coached 15 home and away games against sides that were sitting on the top of the ladder. He has won 11, lost three and drew one.
- Scott coached a record 245 games with Joel Selwood as captain, the highest number of games for any coach and player pairing in VFL/AFL history.
- The second most is 188 games with Damien Hardwick and Trent Cotchin.
- He has coached in 195 wins with Tom Hawkins – the second most by any coach and player pairing. Jock McHale and Gordon Coventry hold the record with 220 wins.
- 97 of his games have been coached at GMHBA Stadium, three fewer than Reg Hickey's record.

Thanks Crappy permabanned again are you?I think the best thing about being so firmly inside Richmond supporters heads is they do all the Geelong related stuff for ya, like setting up game day threads.
It's like artificial intelligence, except it's not artificial and it's not intelligent.
