Opinion Chris Scott's coaching - Part II [NEW POLL ADDED]

[BlightysCats]

You know NOTHING about coaching, so you can't make a fair determination of whether he is doing a good job or not.

Perhaps I don't, but do you? If not then there's no way you could say if he was doing a good job then is there?

 

[Danger!Selwood]

Perhaps I don't, but do you? If not then there's no way you could say if he was doing a good job then is there?

Hence the reason we are quite happy to have the professionals who are in the know make the decisions for our club.

 

[BlightysCats]

I'm sorry you were offended by Scott's press conference.

I wasn't offended, few things offend me, I could just see his responses and demeanour were arrogant and considered that behaviour disgraceful because the tens of thousands of Geelong members and supporters deserved an explanation and he seemed completely unwilling to give one or even admit fault at all.

 

[BlightysCats]

Hence the reason we are quite happy to have the professionals who are in the know make the decisions for our club.

Or Chris Scott even.

 

[Danger!Selwood]

Or Chris Scott even.

Nah, I was meaning having faith in the professionals who are best at determining whether or not he is doing a good job. They do believe so and have offered him a 3 year extension. I don't know whether or not that will prove to be a good or a bad move, because unlike some, I'm not silly enough to pretend that what I think and hope is going to happen is actually going to happen that way.

You've already been proven to be full of crap about the whole mercenary thing, about clubs being successful by getting rid of their senior players and also contradicted yourself countless times. You're boring and predictable, and ultimately you've been proved wrong yet again.

3 year extension.....

Exactly. I was one who wanted to give Bomber the boot. What would we punters really know? Answer - not much.

Same.

Really? Name me one team ever with 3 or more mercenaries in it's midfield that won a flag?

 

[BlightysCats]

I was meaning having faith in the professionals who are best at determining whether or not he is doing a good job.

They don't know, they're completely compromised as to whether he's doing a good job considering they're mates with him and we have a CEO and head of football department who have never actually sacked a coach. If we got an independent review of Scott I think it'd give us a far better indication of whether he was doing a good job or not.

Just be forewarned that you are on the Geelong board here so while you're welcome to discuss things here you do need to retain at least a modicum of respect.

Can BC see this?

sorry.. delete at will...

Just the midfield now is it? Haha, pathetic.

Best you tell the saints to give it up, turns out their rebuild has been a waste of time.

Another contradiction.

Was always taught that you had to earn respect....

Caro said on Footy Classified that the termination clause is proving a point of contention with Scott's manager - gave me some hope the club might actually be finally putting pressure on Scott to succeed.

Its a clause in all standard GFC contract about the payout upon termination of contract.

GFC clause is 3-6 month. AFL coaches get a year I believe. Therein lies the rub. AFL Coaches association wants it to be a year.

GFC wants Scott. And so do you by virtue of your membership and support of the board.

Professionals in the know, ha, ha. They don't know a damn thing. The trend for coaches especially with millennials is to have a great communicator as coach with huge emotional intelligence Scott lacks both of those attributes, the trend in the game is for fast ball movement in transition to a small/midsize forward line and quick athletic players moving it off half back Scott only now is finally realising this but hasn't recruited to be able to implement such a game style...Those so called professionals in the know are wandering blindly around in the dark jumping at noises, they're ultra reactive and completely terrified of making hard calls that are needed at the club specifically in the footy department.

I'm not a member this year for the first time in ages, moving to Saigon soon just to get away from the putrid smell of Scott's coaching in order to arrive at the putrid smell of the underdeveloped sewerage systems of Saigon.

Can you back any of this absolute garbage up with factual proof, not what you think because you've watched a press conference?

When you do, I look forward to shooting your contradictions down again.

Wont be commentating on any of that.

Enjoy Saigon and I hope you find what you are looking for.

In light of the impending contract extension to Scott, I'm finding this thread more enjoyable than usual

 

[Biggy_Boy]

You guys definitely did something right. You recruited the best player in the game. And paired him with another great in Selwood. Take Dangerfield out of your side and you're a fringe top 8 side. Your defense and forward line don't scare anyone. The fact you're experimenting with Harry Taylor up forward just proves my point.

Geelong's problems in defence are more attributable to lack of pace and small options, as well as ball movement from the back half.

Last year, however, the talls were the most effective in the competition. I'll recycle some research to prove it.
Instances of each prelim finalist conceding 4 or more goals to a tall:

Western Bulldogs
Jenkins - 8
Cameron - 5
Franklin - 5
Stanley - 5
Waite - 4
Patton - 4
Hawkins - 4
Riewoldt - 4

GWS
Gunston - 5
Walker - 5
Franklin -4
Riewoldt - 4
Lynch - 4
Cloke - 4

Sydney
Griffiths - 5
Cameron - 4
Gunston - 4

Geelong
Everitt - 4

I think quite a few teams would be happy with the Henderson, Taylor, Lonergan combo. I certainly wish we didn't have to mess with it. Obviously most teams would also wanted it complemented with better smalls than Geelong has, but the Dogs are still clamoring for quality KPDs despite their success.

And this guy claims that he is a Geelong supporter.

Fraud!

He gives an opinion mate. That is all.
He isn't beating up your dog every night after work then quickly disappearing into the night so relax and just get use to differing views other than your own.

Spot on. Our smalls at both ends have let us down. Our defenders allow small forwards to score too often against us, and our small forwards don't apply enough pressure nor kick enough goals. Hence we were number one for rebound 50's conceded and last or second last for rebound 50's ourselves last season.

If Cam Guthrie could go back permanently it would be great, but we need him in the midfield also. Hopefully Zach Guthrie can be a clone.

The equivalent analysis for smalls?

So clubs whine about Selwood ducking. So Chris Scott whines about the Bulldogs doing fast handballs? How petulant ...
I look forward to him carrying on like a 5 year old kid in the coaches box for the next three years

And then you come on here and whine a bit more... why not just suck it up?
