He's on good coin. I'd say the same.

100%.
I don’t want a win at GMHBA if we’re going to lose the next round in the semi-final.
All that does is create a W stat for the coaches record in a final. Or some sort of value for the club due to finishing higher.
It’s meaningless to the players and the supporters. It’s shallow. It reinforces this ‘win at Geelong only’ situation.
I want a win at the MCG and then get momentum from that.
The reality is that we are less likely to get that win at the MCG. So be it. We should want the right to play the best at the home of football.
What? every game? or just "home" finals?
I would prefer to have a home ground advantage like every other team in the qualifiers and semis, happy to play the G in the prelim.

I guess the Eagles should have requested to play Essendon at the G then if that is the case.
You need to get to the grand final.
I've never complained about a G final against Richmond/Collingwood/Hawthorn as we play our home games against them there anyway.
Finals against low drawing sides should be at KP like the regular season. The 10k or so that may miss out are not the regular Joe supporters anyhow, just your MCC, corporates etc, and I say that as a MCC member.

That’s what I meant. Finals (which was the context of this conversation).

We all want change. The coach sadly will not leave so change the assistants. Too many defenders involved.
Taylor, Ablett, Selwoodx2, Smith, Dahl, Tuohy, Atkins should all go
Hawkins to be demoted as our key forward.
We need a new captain in Stewart.
Throw everything at Cameron and a true Ruckman

Scott does not know how to win at finals footy at the G. He only knows how to make excuses.
Ray Donovan
Staring into the abyss
And Greenwood pinged his knee potentially badly before halftime so injuries wise
The WCE finally got success when their ground was built in the same dimensions as the MCG.

It pretty much doesn't matter what Scott says. There's no way to say he made a mistake without also saying that some of his players aren't good enough and hanging them out to dry. I'd rather he made some transparently weak excuse rather than hang his players out to dry in the media
Scott does not play, he coaches. He has coached a Grand Final win...at the G.

I really like this line and totally agree, I feel the way we’re coached, defeat doesn’t hurt enough. I’d love to know if Mr Scott’s approach to big finals has changed or has the massaging been delivered the same way each year.

I have recovered enough to post but haven’t really read the thread.
Why play a game plan minus a ruckman that is slow in ball movement allowing the opposition to set up behind play then bomb high and long along the wings. That’s the type of game plan you play when you have a high quality marking ruck and CHF, we had neither. Then to not adjust one bit all night is shocking, even when we were well down heading into the final q when we needed to roll the dice nothing changed especially in the delivery to the forward line. Why do we never hit up leading forwards?
Then when the game was on the line in the final 15 minutes defensively we were still guarding space and not going man on man. It allowed Collingwood to maintain possession and use time at will.
Our coaching staff really have a lot to answer for!

And I never said that the club didn't raise the issue, Cook having done so back in May when he also spoke to the media about why the club deserves a home final at home.
But over recent weeks it's been the media who have been giving the issue airtime - they are the ones asking Scott, last week they raise the issue with Ablett & Danger and if you go on social media they have been running polls on it.
It's frustrating that it continues to be a question at every Geelong based press conference - surely they could find a better question to ask or is it just lazy & easy journalism.
Also not sure anyone's said it had an impact on last night's result
I’m out. Scott finally lost me last night. The Stanley decision was the final straw.

That was my concern before the game, that we’d play the same way

Taylor, Scooter, Ablett & Smith are out of contract, so you may get a couple of those right.
Highly unlikely the club is going to delist or trade the others mentioned when they are contracted for at least next year or longer - you might want to get used to seeing them in the hoops
I have said that too.
I'm now withdrawing it. Over the years, without the team that Bomber built (with plenty of help) Scott has showed he cannot come close to replicating 2011. I'm therefore giving Scott assistant coach status for 2011. That team of senior experienced premiersship gun players virtually coached itself, with good management from Scott.
Scott has shown himself to be similar (not identical) to Ross Lyon. Dour, good, but unable to get the team to score enough to beat the good teams come finals. If we still played like the start of the season we should be warm favorites for the flag. We were like that becasue of the new players coming in and Ablett going forward and creating opportunities. Our new players gave us an attacking flair. Over the season the game plan has ground that into the dust. That is Scott. That's entirely Scott.
Thanks for presser update - I just don’t have the stomach to watch them.I actually thought his press conference was pretty spot on. He admitted in good weather Stanley should of played at least twice.
He confirmed geelongs kick mark slow play statistical measure will continue.
Confirmed Mitch Duncan is no chance with a medial basically end of 2019.
Confirmed he has no idea what happens after a bye or the first quarter in a final.
Geelong is one of the most consistent finals teams to predict. If I didn't support this club I just back them to lose the first half & Lose match.
Super frustrating for all involved but we need to butter up for next week as sad and difficult it is right now.
Stanley, Guthrie and I'm going to throw constable into the mix because hey the midfield was terrible.
I suspect Gary Rohan is also in trouble so its actually a tricky list of insbews and kolo we're ordinary but the in is Henderson haha.
Scott Selwood, Clark
Not really a lot of depth at the cattery but West Coast are beatable it will be an extremely difficult ask & will need to play 100% better than this week.
I went to the VFL final last Saturday and thought Simpson was clearly our best, his work in traffic (in a massively physical game), tackling and disposal were very good. Problem is he’s not been given games this year (a blunder IMO) so I’m not sure they’ll risk him.
Expect Guthrie and Stanley in, both of whom (regardless of opinions) will perform better than the very average effort of any number of the team last night.

You would not believe it, but he got dropped because the forecast said it was going to rain. Talk about no confidence in a player.
I thought Kelly worked himself into the game and was good in the second half. I thought Tuohy did some good work, both up forward and in defense. The rest were not good enough.
Reckon Joel doesn’t have any more than one year left. He struggled again last night. The mind might want to still compete but the body has had enough.
Sends a great message to Stanley.
Anyone thinking its not Scott, should read that thread.Guys, don't bother posting or reading this thread.
