Haha, Robbo and Warner are still going. Can't read the story but they've got a big, bad Bemny McDevvitt interview and one with Crameri.

Just looking at the replies, Donial is still rampant amongst the brainwashed hirdites.

Credit to old mate BS he has really stuck with this narrative.

“I think what stood out – his 10 years as a senior coach at North Melbourne, at an under-resourced club, got them to a couple of Preliminary Finals, a 52 per cent win rate,” Walls told SEN’s Sportsday.

That would make sense if there wasn’t a salary cap and he didn’t orchestrate the rebuild after Laidley “for a period of sustained success“.

It's actually a 50.2 not 52 per cent win rate.

The Shaun Atley of win rates - established over an unjustifiably long period and neither really good nor really bad. Just meh.

Scott said he had admired Heppell’s leadership and football ability from afar during his time as North Melbourne coach and at the AFL.

“I couldn’t be more impressed with Dyson Heppell … he’s the led this club through quite a challenging period in his career,” he said.

Both times from the bottom half of the 8. One of those years we beat the Cats which was a surprise the other year we beat a Sydney team that was destroyed by injury.

He never got us into a Qualifying Final.

Not necessarily * related but how crap must it feel to be called a “utility” when everyone else and some of s**test players regularly get “star”

I have literally no idea who that is. He looks more like someone who played a bit part in one of the Twilight movies than an AFL footballer.

Why do people say Brad Scott was a good coach? I'm struggling to find a time where he genuinely overperformed with the list.

With all of the dropped games against poor teams at important times. We had a better record against top 8 sides than non top 8 sides in 2014.
With all of the dropped leads, especially in 2013, 2014 and 2018 in the backhalf of the season.
Only turning it on for a given amount of weeks after getting belted by a poor side?

Can you blame dropped leads and games against poor sides a symptom of the list? If the team couldn't match it at any time against the best I could see the argument but they did and when they were on it was almost guaranteed they were better than the opponent, even a flag contending team.

Cool, he made a couple of prelims and first round beltings, congratulations, he achieved mediocrity.

He was a pretty good coach, with major flaws, for a number of years.

Then he dropped off the last 2 or 3 years, so he ended up a crap coach with major flaws.

His biggest issue was stemming the flow when there was a drop in effort.

His game styles relied on constant gut running and attacking which left little room for lapses. It was great when it worked and horrible when it didn't.

Some of our best games of footy were under Scott but he was also coaching when we had one of our worst. Just no consistent-sustainable performances throughout his tenure. It was hit and miss, up and down, on and off for the entirety of his coaching tenure at North. Which perfectly explains the 50% win/loss percentage.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the beltings against Richmond and Carlton but we also capitulated against really bad sides. Brad couldn't beat Malthouse at all during his entire coaching career at North. Says it all really.

Ever heard of "dressing up a turd"? Not sure if wrapping a turd in a vomit soaked towel is the way to go.

Let's visualise that, just for a second or two.

I close my eyes and it hits me. One of the scotts brothers. It's coming into focus. Brad Scotts. Oh, FFS, is he wearing an esserdon shirt? Yep. Thanks Mav. I didn't need that.
