I think in assessing Scott, there are two separate equations that are all too easy to blend into one if you're in the 'he's no good' camp.
Yes he had a great list when he took over in 2010, but it was one that had also been conclusively found out by its main challenger in Collingwood in 2010. If they had not tweaked things in 2011, they wouldn't have won the flag so I really can't accept the notion that he just walked into the EASIER FLAG EVA!!!111. It required nous and tweaking and he did that.
I'm not too sure about Geelong's current list management though. I'm not saying it's a failure but by the same token - I'm not reinventing the wheel in saying this, but Selwood, Danger and Hawkins desperately need more help.
