Anyone else find it interesting that none of either Knights, Enright or Scarlett have made specific mention of Chris Scott

in their statements to the media.

They've thanked the club, thanked the players, but zero mention of the bloke they worked under and supposedly all working together and on the same page with. Now call me cynical, but I think that tells us a lot about the fractured relationship that may have existed towards the end of the year. Or was everything going fine, and did C Scott have a meltdown post the prelim final loss and tell them their time was up (if that's even his job).

I'm buoyant about the reset that is taking place. I think it's overdue and it will give the joint some fresh air to approach 2022. Maybe Hocking had quickly assessed that change was required - but C Scott was the right person to coach - and he just needed some fresh ideas around him. Seems plausible that this was Hocking's assessment. Personally I think it's correct - we have a very good coach in C Scott. He just needed to be sat down and told changes were needed to our approach - and the club wanted to put some new people around him.

If it was a choice of getting rid of the coach or the assistants - I think the choice was pretty simple.

 

[Larry Donohue]

The reason behind that IMO is that he is limited at AFL level. It’s not a temperament thing, it’s just that he isn’t clean with the footy and that is shown up under finals pressure.

Menegola, Blitz, Henry till this year, Bews all have that issue to varying degrees.

IMV none of the others are as panicked. This added to the skill issue is a dithering finals time mess. It is our weakness as a team, bit he is number one proponent. Bews has improved a lot and willing to risk his hand. Kolo just gives the ball up when it truly matters

being traded just won't go away over here.
Tucker for Clark?

Tucker for Clark?

God I hope not he’s the definition of average.

 

[Hamingja]

I wouldn't take Tucker as a delisted free agent let alone for Clark

 

[Pollywaffle]

If it was a choice of getting rid of the coach or the assistants - I think the choice was pretty simple.

Plus the payout to get rid of Scott would be higher.
May have bought himself some credits by foregoing salary last year perhaps?

No thanks.

 

[Hogwild]

24 yrs old 94 games - he has a lot better resume than Clark

Would rather just give you Clark.

 

[BORIS332]

24 yrs old 94 games - he has a lot better resume than Clark

Averaging 15 games a season for a bottom eight side...

 

[Pure_Ownage]

My only objection to that is that a short term fix now has very limited value

If you bring in the right 22-25yo ruck though you might get at least 6 years if not closer to 10 from them so i call that a long term fix not a short term one. Thats the kind of strategy i would pursue.

If tucker was coming it would be pure steak knives..we would never straight swap them when clark is contracted.

 

[iameviljez]

Always thought Fort would leave this off season, guy isnt getting any younger and Geelong have shown no desire to play him.

Despite playing without a recognised ruckman at times.

That's not unreasonable, provided that the ideal player comes on the market.

 

[Strange Cat]

Not you again ….

Post on this thread flogging a spud on your list for a trade for a contracted player

gets offended when said player is called out for being a spud and that Clarke is contracted

acts suprised by the response and acts like a victim

rinse and repeat…in fact you have already asked about this trade …clearly just here to shit stir

 

[rocker_oz33]

I dont think Carlton made the right call on Voss.

Imo.

 

[Grimoz]

Nah they should have taken Scott off our hands!!!

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Did you watch the prelim? Its obvious how top rucks destroy us. We have needed a ruck for 10 years and we need it now more than ever.

Nah mate, missed the PF. When was that on

I'm inclined to ask you the same thing if you don't think our aging mids are an issue, but it's a puerile question so I won't.

Gawn was massive in the PF, obviously. And yeah, if we could trade him in I'd be all for it - he's clearly the best ruckman of his time. But do you reckon Ladhams (or whichever other ruckman is available) would have stopped him?

That's the point - it's all well and good to beat your drum ad nauseam that we need a good ruckman, but where are we getting one from?

 

[Cameron_Jezza]

Rance I'm pretty sure was an end of first round priority pick too.

Even Brett Delidio with pick 1 was traded to get Caddy in, so he (Delidio) contributed as well to the flags.

 

[Whit3y]

A champion like Sel deserves to get both the 350 and captaincy record and also the chance to evolve his game from pure mid to a different position and see if it can work.

A champion like Milburn deserved to get to 300 too.

It did not happen..

We are hearing Sturt for Ben Jarvis. Has that filtered over there? Big here

 

[foxdog50]

Me either... id rather Voss coach Geelong

 

[tielgaz]

now we’re questioning Selwood‘s kicking? Really? If I had to have someone kick for my life, either at goal or around the ground in a contest it’s him.
[/QUOTE Agree, he is still a quality player, lacks a bit of pace but makes up for it in the contest, leading tackler of all time . His kicking is still good.

 

[iameviljez]

Not if it is outside 40m

 

[Cameron_Jezza]

Reading gold coast and Richmond boards, I think we can target pick 7.
If 3,19 is traded for 7 , Richmond 2022r1;
We could then target pick 7.

30, Geelong 2022r1 for pick 7.
Seems absurd, but gold coast have a massive list, not really that many out of contract players to delist.
By trading heavily into next year, they can give themselves time to assess players on their list.

Maybe what I suggest is slightly unrealistic, but if they really want to focus on the 2022 draft we could do something.
Or trade 30 and Geelong 2022r1 for
19,22, gold coast 2022r2
