Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Lol, not sure what happened there, but that should've said threepeat.

I know Jimmy is a handsome man with those golden locks, but I've never looked at him that way....

Likely story, it doesn’t matter which way you swing when Jimmy locks those pretty eyes on yours…

 

[faible]

Given the stuff that has come out today about standards in training, prep and recovery I reckon the lads should enjoy the next couple of weeks because they are going to get absolutely ****ing flogged this pre season.

I actually suspect it's less about being flogged and more about what they're doing when they're not at the club; recovering appropriately as a professional athlete should, managing their intensity so that easy sessions are actually easy, and the hard sessions can then be very hard without getting injured.

Too often we've seen players breaking down during pre-season which is often a sign of not managing their load appropriately. The better they are at the recovery side of things - e.g. nutrition, sleep, active recovery - then the more cumulative load they'll get by simply not getting injured during the pre-season.

The idea that pre-seasons are simply about being flogged more and more and more is very old school. Young athletes often need to be educated about how important the off-track part of their preparation is.

last person to vom is captain - bold, but i like it

It’s a fine line hey because the last person to vom is usually the one who is going at 95% while others push to 105%

Soft talk, Owen.

Get the bricks out, I say. These hills won’t run themselves.

Surely the Redman and Brayden Maynard was the easiest comparison to make.

 

[BrunoV]

Redman is more Bailey dale
Ridley should be more Jake lever

I dont think Ridley could be that shit.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Curiosity - has Gillon ever mentioned Brad leaving and coming to Essendon, or thanked him for his services.

The only thing I could find was an article where he thought Brad would stay with the AFL.

 

[andleanback]

Have already heard very good things about Scott

 

[fairbump_playon]

Have already heard very good things about Scott

Is he growing his hair out?

 

[fishardansin]

It was Brad Scott who smashed a very injured James Hird in 2001 wasn't it? History repeating? A deliberate insult to Hirdy?

 

[Beerfish]

why you gotta be like that

i'm tryin here

 

[yodellinhank]

First Scott facial expression in Essendon colours.

He's seen what he's working with now

 

[faible]

Realising how hard this job is going to be

 

[Beerfish]

Oh I doubt he has many delusions about how hard it'll be.

 

[Beerfish]

Good to see he's cut his hair and had a shave too.

 

[Doss]

Good to see he's cut his hair and had a shave too.

The premiership afterglow did stretch on a bit.

I tried to find video of the Scott brothers and Mal Michael giving Nick Riewoldt's shoulder a test. I thought it was a bit rude at the time. Now I think it's the mongrel we're looking for, though maybe without the malice.

Hope he slaps the soy almond latte right outta doise's hands, and says get to work son

 

[DERO]

I’ve heard that Heppell has been training pretty hard.

Hopefully his body holds up and he can have a good year.

Probably realizes Scott never gifted games to the likes of even Harvey at North.
