Who's excited for the Brad Scott press conference?

[Starburns_]

So it turns out either Brad was grasping for any excuse he could, or his players lied to him.

NORTH Melbourne has unreservedly apologised for coach Brad Scott's statement that Lindsay Thomas was umpired differently to other players because he was a "ducker".

Scott's comments on Friday night prompted the AFL to review all umpire audio from North Melbourne's nine-point loss to Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium.

The Kangaroos were also asked to provide the AFL with further detail about Scott's allegations

After the investigation was completed on Saturday morning, North Melbourne released a statement backtracking on the club's stance.

Great Scott!

It's not like Brad to go off half-cocked like that!

You would think somebody at the ground would have had the umpires call on at the ground with one of those AFL radios and it would have been all over social media if what was alleged was actually said. It would have only taken minutes during the game to be all over social media.

So....

IF the players made it up and told Scott who then announced it at the after match presser

Does that mean the players and coach at NMFC think Thomas is a ducker?

Brad Scott you've embarrassed yourself.

This guy press conferences as well as Donald Trump runs casinos.

Brad Scott you've embarrassed yourself.

Perhaps, but his sooking means the rest of us can retain our dignity.
Such sacrifice can only be admired.

 

[Hawk Dork]

They Should have called Timmy Watson for his opinion.
He clearly says Thomas was a free and Sicilys wasnt
Him and Brad should both go to NY and become barristas

That's the spirit!

The AFL should fine the sook for bringing the game into disrepute.

Both Scott sisters do that in their pressers on a weekly basis. Pity help anyone from overseas who happens to tune in - they'll think we're a nation of sooks!

 

[schnoods]

I like how Scott didn't apologize, the club did. He's probably at home belting a boxing bag yelling "It's not fair!"

 

[floki]

The AFL honchos being malevolent benefactors will soon be talking fines for Norf , forfeiture of points, exclusion from the next two drafts and booking themselves into an end of season trip to the brothels of Prague on the back of this.

...and some North Melbourne "official" has fallen on his sword and said it was all his fault

"This morning it's come to light that actually wasn't what was said to the player at all, and the player said to the club that's not actually what happened and then the official immediately put his hand up and said 'well that's 100% my fault'."

The poor little pinkus

Who will we get with Pick 1 after we are stripped of all points?

Brad Scott trolls * and the Umps at the same time.

Let me guess Thomas isn't?

Of course he is, there's plenty of others that are worse though. Two of them playing last night

****! Fair enough, like my thread about Daniel being better than Cyril?
