SEN reporting

 

[speedy]

freaking copy cats!

 

[BUBBALOUIS]

Good appointment if true, fresh start, with fresh ideas with a still very talented list

 

[ballanFYNE]

Wish him well if he leaves. Was always going to be a senior coach someday.

 

[The Panther]

A lot of senior players at Geelong are uneasy now.

To add to Wallis & Libertorie, it's been a good period for St. Kevin's boys.

 

[rose jam]

wow, really surprised, but impressed with the fact they are going for something different. Club needs a quick reinvigoration.
Let's see if he has the balls to change the captaincy

Can only be a good thing IMO. Hopefully we follow Collingwood's lead next season and play blokes on form, rather than reputation next season. Would've been good to see the likes of Menzel, Duncan and T.Hunt get rewarded for their performances in the seniors this year, instead of getting kicked out of the side as soon as a better credentialled player regained fitness.

 

[Scodog10]

Good appointment if true. It will keep the older players on their toes as Scott will not have the same sentiment that Hinkley or Sanderson may have had for some of the older guys.

 

[jerry springer]

Smart move getting someone from outside the team.very smart indeed

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yet another Leigh Matthews disciple enters the coaching ranks.

 

[Geoffa32]

He was not deemed good enough for the Port job. Which surprised media plundits such as Caro and Sheehan at the time. Who, with their broader (non Port) knowledge knew he was the best candidate. I guess they forgot to factor in that Primus had that job all along and the process was a furphy.

Passed up by Port, wins the Geelong job. Better in long run for him if true.

Batttle of the Scott's I see hmmm

 

[KevinCat07]

Interesting times ahead when we face North.

 

[indieswan96]

Interesting appointment.

 

[strategy]

IF true , the assistant coach Sanderson at the Cats will be annoyed as well some of the players.

 

[Lach72]

Shit

So was Tom Harley

Sanderson is all but on the dotted line to join Buckley, his best mate in 2011.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Good luck to him. He'll be the second best Scott coaching next year

 

[Geoffa32]

So was Tom Harley

Ah yes. No wonder you guys didn't let up in 2007. For him it was personal

 

[buckstheking]

Dont. Ever. Change. That. Avatar!

The Scotts are the "powerbands" of the AFL
Everybody wants one but there is no evidence they actually work.

 

[Gabbatoir]

The Scott boys have really done well out of footy.

What does this evidence?

Round 12, 11 June 2010. North Melbourne 14.13: 97 d Carlton 10.8: 68.


Maybe you're right, you could argue it says more about how shit Carlton and Ratten are, rather than evidence that Scott can coach.

A bit more info from SEN

Meeting of players tomorrow morning when it will be announced to them that Scott will be Coach.
Introduced to the media after that.
