Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

[citizen-erased]

Wonder when we will first see this with him at Essendon

Hind sweating bullets as we speak

 

[citizen-erased]

I think this is the best outcome we could have hoped for. To me he is by far the best person for the job. We definitely won’t be seeing bruise free footy and the players will know exactly where they stand. Looking forward to good times ahead.

wasn't my choice (and wtf do I know) but it really does feel like the right one for us

I like that he's come out saying no one is entitled. right between the eyes of the club. like it

 

[Lance Uppercut]

it is genuinely unbelievable how much a simple change of outfit can improve a man's likeability factor!!

meh, Hird would have had a better press conference.

"I'm very disappointed, shocked is probably the best word. As a coach I take full responsibility for what happens in our footy department. If there have been goings on within our football department that are not right we want to know."

elbow to the ribs wrong speech jim

clears throat

"i'm incredibly humbled to be given the job...

At the end: "come on mate, show some ****ing aggression!"

He'd better rehearse that line, he'll be using it often in the not too distant future

Somebody give the man Hind's mobile number

He was gonna, but, like, his chook's nearly ready.

oooo, a new club motto - I like!

"Hey Scott have a look at the tough nuts on our list"

And then Sheeds sacked him as captain?

Me and a mate were tripped up with that all night last Saturday, masquerading as cat fans trying to get the goddamned pubs to open.

Correct.
He also sacked Steve Taubert after Taubert corrected his spelling

Hobbs & who else?

 

[Chambo]

‘Rish ain’t going anywhere!

Does he get a stat for that handshake?

Brad Scott took North to 5 finals campaigns in the 9.5 years he coached, and his best home & away season was 2014, when North had 16 wins. That year they beat both grand finalists Sydney and Hawthorn. The last time Essendon had 16 or more wins was 2001.

Brad Scott is exactly what this club needs IMO. He drives high standards both on and off the field and forms strong relationships with his players.

I'm already in line for my GF ticket. Was surprised to find I'm not first in line.

Blake C worked with Chris for five years, hopefully that bodes well for staying as an assistant.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

What if he grows his hair and a beard? Is it sexy then?

Mohawk and a goatee. He does t want to copy everything his sibling does. He’s his own man.

 

[dogs105]

Must be pretty excited about a board member white-anting the new coach on his first day...

Anyway, best of luck. I was a big Rutten fan, but hope Scott works out for you.

 

[Zach Package]

First time we’ve presented an honest and united front in at least 8 years

Lasted all of what? 40 minutes?

 

[iDon]

Great decision by us. Well spoken. Keen to see how he goes next season.

Just rewatched the presser. Brad spoke very very well, don't think their could be a criticism of that, great IMO that he wasn't drawn into any short turn turnaround magicly winning finals next year, too that he wasn't willing to be drawn into his views of people from afar he wanted to get to know them first ona personal level.

His little quib at Tom Browne about missing is phone callls.


Be spoke very very well.

 

[ghostdog]

In retrospect, the job was Scott's to lose once he applied. The value of experience in his resume would have blown other competitors out of the water. He has brought with him a detailed, surveyed knowledge and understanding of the modern game and the breadth of strategy across the entire competition with him.

When he mentioned that coaching again has always been in the back of his mind through all of the new learning and experience he had at AFL house, the penny dropped for me.

His football brain will be of the highest order.

He speaks very well, when he isn't emotional/agitated. It is the press conferences after a loss where he used to be a bit of a loose cannon.
