Chris Scott - Hold that loss

[SunshineBoy]

Never ever change scott

 

[Jobe Watson]

Coaches here are lucky they only have to deal with pissweak questions from Aussie journos. If this was the States, Scott would be crying right now.

 

[Bald]

Tonight Dahlhaus did what Dahlhaus does.

 

[Luv_our_club]

Like Blicavs playing on the wing? Or Dangerfield playing forward last year? Or Selwood playing wing this year so some younger players could play more inside minutes?

Don’t think that’s the issue.

ooohhh Danger is moved forward.... that don't count.

Selwood actually played more mid than people think. Look at the actual stats of his game time. Plus it was a Huge move for the Cat's because they Never do it. Same with Ablett to the forward 50 (should have happened 1 year ago).

Blicavs to the wing... another example of one of Scott's book of "moves".

 

[Bald]

What a salty campaigner Scott is

?? pls enlighten me, cbf waiting for it to be uploaded to AFL.com.au but would love to hear about the salt haha.

 

[Ma Xiao Long]

Absolutely mind-bendingly stupid. Play your best, most explosive and most influential midfielder in the middle when you need to wrestle the momentum back.

Dimma did the same thing. Put Dusty forward, deepest forward, when Geelong were well on top in the first half

 

[My Tilly]

Tonight Dahlhaus did what Dahlhaus does.

Do you still have Lin Jong? The guy who breaks when he gets tackled hard?
We could really use him in the finals next year.

 

[Burtman]

The only reason they are always there about is they are gifted wins at their velodrome

100% right. Ordinary team that gets found out as soon as the game is on neutral territory, west coast were the same for years before the move to Optus. All you have to be is decent and your guaranteed top 6

What on earth does Lin Jong have to do with this thread at all lol?

 

[ShadeyP]

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.

Spot on .

 

[Benno_900]

His media work is worse.

All his whinging about an MCG home final mentally inhibited the playing group.

Then he comes out and subtly trash talks the opposition.

You're not Sir Alex Ferguson, you bozo. Go join your bro in the sacked club.

Geelong must recruit more pea hearts in the off season.
You gave us Dahlhaus, now what else can we get?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

What did you say to the players.....it’s private

Richmond clearly the best team.....that’s not what you said this week, he is a whinging liar

His lip is dragging on the ground

It was a fairly considered Scott interview in fairness.

Though the best part was when he claimed this game was just like the last time they played Richmond, and won by 12 goals.

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

 

[Conan Troutman]

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.

lol, they only played 9 games but don't let facts get in the way. 2017 they had 7 games there and made the prelim.

 

[Conan Troutman]

He said Tigers weren't as good this year as they were last year. Tonight he said they are the best team over the last few years. You seem to be the one who is lying, and whinging.

 

[Stev0]

If a survey was taken of Cat fans, the overwhelming majority would think negatively of Scott, and a similar number want him gone.

The club persists with him because he still makes finals and the team is 'competitive'.

It's now nauseating.

 

[Back One Out]

Yeah nah... I dunno about all this post-game second-guessing and criticism of Chris Scott. People can point out all the things he should've done, but with all due respect, they don't have the inside knowledge and the facts like he does. And if he did make mistakes, it wasn't just him. Coaching is a team effort. Matty Scarlett and Boris Enright have to wear their share of the blame too.

Bottom line: Richmond are not as good as last year and Geelong have improved massively, so mission accomplished.

 

[ShadeyP]

Scott makes alot of moves ... some are very good but he often over thinks it and his shuffling around this second half of the season has produced some absolutely mind blowing howlers . Hawkins actions last week didn't help as he is the most vital player for their structure .
However , for the 2nd time in 3 weeks he out-coached himself for vast periods of 2 finals .
Still rate Chris Scott overall as a coach . Mitch Duncan was sorely missed tonight .

 

[Ok Boomer]

So it turns out the best tagger for Dangerfield is Chris Scott.

Completely missing in the second half.

 

[Captain_Bender]

 

[Farang83150]

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.

 

[markm106]

Scott was ropable after the game. Reckon he would have given the team a massive bake. Hawkins would have hiding in the corner.

 

[tenderwarrior]

To be fair, he said Richmond have been the best team over the past three years, .and what he said earlier in the week was that he thought they were a better team last year.. saying that might be silly or whatever, but it doesn't make it a contradiction.

Great win that was. Mastermind coaching against a team with 15 injuries
