Re: Dean Laidley to Coach Geelong

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-He's got passion (until he finds out he is not being backed for the next season, and two weeks after saying he was excited about North's young players (after Geelong thrashed these youngsters by 70 points), he pulls the pin, rather than stay around and see out the season.

-Great gameday coach-Unless that gameday was a final, where North Melbourne would then get thrashed.

2005-Thrashed by Port Adelaide by 87 points at home in 1st E.F.
2007-Thrashed by Geelong by 106 points in 1st Q.F.
2007-Beat Hawthorn by 33 points in 1st S.F.
2007-Thrashed by Port Adelaide (again!) by 87 points in 1st P.F.
2008-Beaten by Sydney Swans by 35 in 2nd E.F.

So, yeah good finals record there. - 1 W 4 L

Also, I get the impression that Laidley was a prick. He offered Hamish McINtosh for trade, and then withdraw it, just to show the players that "no-one was safe". He kept Daniel Harris and Corey Jones out of the seniors, whether their form warranted it or not, because he didn't like them. For mine, I think Dean Laidley was highly over-rated.

I agree, Chris Scott would be much better

I posted that on about page 2 of the thread !!

No you didn't actually

You also voted for sanderson and you had no idea that Scott had even applied for the job let alone any chance to win the job from his glaring absence in your poll
