Chris Scott - Hold that loss

[Great8]

If I was Danger I'd have the s**tz bigtime...

Maybe he could try getting a kick?

Maybe he could try getting a kick?

Bit hard when Grand Pubah Scott ripped him out of the midfield to aerate the forwadline with his bootstops...

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

He's a muppet. Handed us the game by not playing Blicavs on Lynch.

People go on as if Blicavs is Matty Scarlett, he's not, he's actually a very ordinary footballer if you watch him properly. The 3rd man rule killed off his best role.

He's a tall athlete that can run all day, but not with any pace, his disposal is terrible and his decision making is generally terrible.

Him not being on Lynch is not the reason Geelong lost, imo, Lynch would have towelled him up.

I think he has looked better than he is in defence because he just structures up well in Geelong's game plan.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Can't think of a more ungracious coach that's been involved in the game, won't take responsibility as we saw with his comments a few weeks ago, busted blatantly lying a while back, just a sh!t person.

Malthouse a bit before your time?

 

[demondavey]

Problems started around the middle of the year once some injured players like Bews and Tuohy came back. Instead of sticking with what worked the MC play favourites instead of structures. You can't play 9 defenders every week and expect to have a balanced list. It's why Clark was moved to the wing, Blicavs to ruck/wing, Tuohy and Henderson forward and so on. Realistically we have so little forward depth that it's just easier to put a defender there even though everyone knows it doesn't work.

It’s a major issue, and it’s inevitably cost you. If Blicavs was an AA defender I’d be keeping him there. I genuinely believe Scott is costing this club.

 

[db26]

So it's all got to do with Scott.How about acknowledging the other team went up another gear in the second half and up the anti.

Not at all, Scott's far worse, acts like a spoilt brat.

 

[AlcoaCat]

I wouldn't call Lin Jong a pea heart, he's injury prone but don't question his heart.

Lin Jong is mighty. Really wrong to doubt his courage

 

[AlcoaCat]

Brad Scott is a better coach than Chris Scott.

Don't rub it in.

 

[AlcoaCat]

The single reason is Richmond are a better team.

Sadly true. Chris Scott doesn't help though. He's too bloody irritating.

 

[Tas]

They could have used Hawkins laying out some behind the play pain.

 

[AlcoaCat]

I think he’s a terrific coach and I’m glad the cats have him until 2022. Would support another extension now given his prelim record.

That hurts.

 

[kranky al]

Average side. Punching above their weight during the season mostly because they play and win 10 games at their ground in Geelong. Once finals come in a neutral arena they lose coz they're not good enough.

Errrr how is richmonds home ground a neutral arena?


Are all victorians as utterly ignorant of what that word neutral means?


Seems to be a lot on here


For future reference - if geelong is playing richmond - optus, adelaide oval, scg, gabba, and even etihad are neutral venues

As neither team is a tenant of those grounds - the mcg is richmonds home ground and as such cannot be neutral

When west coast played sydney - thats when the mcg is neutral.

Bit hard when Grand Pubah Scott ripped him out of the midfield to aerate the forwadline with his bootstops...

Apparently he played 64 per cent in the midfield in the 3rd quarter. That wasn't the reason.

 

[Cdog71]

They played Blicavs on the wing cause they don’t have the depth to cover Duncan missing.
So
No Blicavs to help back 6 and leave responsibility to Taylor
Play Blicavs on wing
No Hawkins so play Henderson

He didn’t have a lot of choice about Hawkins but it ended up three bad losses in the three parts of the ground.
But I thinks it more about Hawkins and Duncan missing and not enough depth than him

 

[My Tilly]

Been saying for weeks that Taylor was cooked and running on fumes so how the hell can professional coaches getting paid hundreds of thousands per year not see it?
Lynch in his prime, one of the top gut running KPF's going around, just one of the most perplexing match-up's I have seen in years.

It's almost as if our coaching staff ignore the present and look to the past all too frequently.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Whoever is their midfield coach should be turfed.

 

[garlic munchers]

Average side. Punching above their weight during the season mostly because they play and win 10 games at their ground in Geelong. Once finals come in a neutral arena they lose coz they're not good enough.

So if Geelong had the right to play home finals and Tigers lost down there, would the tigers be a team punching above their weight?

If Collingwood had been made to travel down the highway this final series would have looked very different.

 

[Podsnap]

You get the feeling that Scott would use Dangerfield as the sub to ‘trick’ the opposition if he could.

Chapman in 2013

Mate this is BigFooty, what do you expect.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

I honestly don't understand why a coach has no plan B. Guy is old as s**t, you cannot rely on him to play week in week out and simply pray he doesn't fall over. Many good teams had injuries this year and those teams simply roll out plan B

Geelong having no plan B rests on a Scott's shoulders and no one else's

He does though. Moving a near AA quality FB to do **** all on a wing, while the opposition’s best key forward wins them the game is certainly a B move.

 

[Seeds]

He was the single reason they lost tonight. Day in day out he gets away with shambolic matchday coaching and no one sees boo about it because he is a media love child. Things he got wrong tonight

- Bilcavs on a wing. Did NOTHING while his obvious matchup in Lynch torched them
- Knew he had to win the game based on tackling yet left guys like Parfitt and Henry play who couldnt tackle a feather. They missed a guy like Scott Selwood putting some pressure on the ball
- Dangerfields rotations were absurd. He spent way too much time up forward in the second half. Ablett also spent way too much time at HFF. Needed to be in the goal square with Hawkins out
- Henderson hasnt played forward for 6 bloody years. Why play him at FF for. He should have been the one attacking the ball on the wing with Ratagoluea deep forward to provide a contest. Henderson can lead okay however he has no leap and no contested marking ability so why have him as the person who gets the ball kicked on his head
- Houli had no one within boo of him. Should have had Atkins lock down on him from the first bounce

I can think of many more things to add but all in all it was the worst coaching performance of the season by any coach.

Mostly agree with this except parfitt is close to our best tackler. Racks up high tackle numbers and runs players down in the forward. Pulled off our best tackle again on Friday night.

 

[Seeds]

Blicavs, who wasnt far off all australian full back and won a b and flast year playing that position did nog play full back in anyof our 3 finals because Scott is simply stubborn.

He is the worst match day coach in a long long time.

 

[Seeds]

Agreed. Was huge tonight but no one could be surprised, done it for ages now

We ran out of legs in the second half because ridiculous Scott moves cost us the first final.

Lynch was best on ground and the difference because we played our full back on the wing.


Certainly sounds like it was coaching moves that cost us.

Charlie Constable is arguably the best midfielder in the VFL from his form. They had a replacement, they just refused to use it.

He had choices about Hawkins. Thats why you have 44 people on a list. He made the wrong choice
