Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

[Rick Ross]

I said good

Bomber Thompson?
He was the brains behind the… coaching.
I understand he’s also freed up.
Note - bail restrictions may mean he can’t attend inter state games.

BigFooty: Scott has no selection integrity, reward VLF form!
Scott picks the guy who's worked hard on a positional change and shown good VFL form for weeks
BigFooty: NOT HIM!

No, the player in good VFL form also has to be under 23. Otherwise it doesn't count.

 

[katana]

maybe people would just like to not select a player who's been around for 10 years and demonstrated repeatedly that he's not up to it.

particularly when we have a 19 year old top 20 draft pick with good vfl form as well in the same position.

and even more particularly when the prior mentioned player is very unlikely to even be on our list next year.

unless theyre perkins/cox/menzie/ADJ/tsatas/hobbs then drop them too

 

[wichidi]

I've heard they're all good coaches if you just stick with them long enough

Oh don’t go bringing a voice of reason to this forum. How dare you.

And you just know if he was brought in and didn't set the world on fire the very same people would be saying

• Spud
• I've seen enough
• Delist
• Back to the vfl. Never want to see him again

 

[faible]

My hope with Weideman is that they're wanting to see him as a KPD at AFL level before deciding whether to delist him or not.

His VFL form down back has been pretty solid, if he can translate that to AFL level, given Reid and Baldwin are both injury prone, Laverde looks to have lost a step playing undersized, and Hayes isn't yet AFL strength, he might be worth giving a 1 year contract as a depth tall that can play either end in a pinch.

Is two games enough to make that decision? He has had one off good games in the past. What if it happens again?

Happy with Weideman getting a run in the backline - could be our Rory Lobb

How some of the others have survived is puzzling though.

 

[BomberManU]

Laverde looks to have lost a step playing undersized

That is a very kind way of putting it!

 

[faible]

Not necessarily, but given Hayes is already contracted for another two years we don't need to know anything more about him before the season is out. Weideman currently has no contract so we'll have to decide one way or the other.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Phase 1 accomplished, thanks Brad. Now actually build a decent list!

 

[Bjchan13]

If they are still making the decision, which i think they are, it will be combined VFL and AFL that they base the decision on.

Not saying it’s going to happen, but Liam Jones was in a similar position to Weids. I’m happy to see where it leads.

And lobb this year moving back seems to have worked well

nah itll be based on match sim

 

[JayJ20]

I find it hilarious you're circumnavigating around why people are upset to try and prove them wrong.

No I'm not. I think there are legitimate concerns with his selections (like I stated with the Laverde selection), but naming Weideman is not one of them.

Also, his selections aren't more concerning than our list.

 

[boncer34]

Yes you were. His form, which your post was championing, isn't the problem.

Are you talking about Scott or Weideman?

Weideman

 

[JayJ20]

Weideman

Oh I thought it was about Scott.

I think Weideman should be given a chance at AFL level as a defender and be rewarded with good form. I don't think it's a big deal that he plays over Hayes.

Not sure what they were (i50s) for Ruttens last year in 2022

2024:
i50s For: 56.2 (Bris, Dogs and GC only better)
i50s Against: 49.9 (Bris, Dogs, Hawks, Port and Freo) Only better


i50/diff= +6.3 (Bris and Bulldogs) only better

Edit 2022: i50s/diff = -2.4


A +8.7 swing
