Brad Scott's interview on On The Couch on Tuesday night was amazing. Just wow.

I love Hardwick for Richmond, but Brad Scott is my "favourite" coach in the AFL. At least to listen to speak.

 

[Spikey]

he's one if my favourite coaches too

because he's crap and coaches north

 

[Jono]

Well you guys do have a good head coach in Bomber Thompson, so its fair enough that you don't rate Scott in comparison.

But yeah Scott's gameplan is a bit out of date. handball,handball, handball is done. Still, it looks like he's doing a Knights (failing, but leaving the club in a decent enough state for someone else to come in and get to the top) which is much better than doing a Bailey (failing and leaving the club in a horrible state)

 

[Spikey]

not that I want Scott to fail, because as you say he seems a good guy and all, but he needs to change the gameplan, a bit anyway

Nah, it is moving back that way a bit; you have to look at when you handball. With the crunch of numbers, if you get the ball into midfield, creating some handball gives the team time to roll back into the forward line with numbers, rather than kicking to a 2 or 3 on 1, like what Fremantle finds itself looking at all the time under Lyon.

You just don't want to be flicking the ball around in the back line too much.

Josh Hunt having a mare. Hawkins still got it over Reid, just a little mentally fragile still, can't believe he handpassed that ball off to Chapman.

EDIT: then Reid lays that tackle...

 

[Spikey]

don't think i've seen geelong make this many basic mistakes for about 5 years


not that i've watched every geelong game of the last 5 years

 

[vic_orthdox]

Just been fumbly all year. West is as bad a disposer of the ball as Blake, he just doesn't look as dopey.

saw this today : Vidya Balan at an AFL match in Melbourne | PINKVILLA

they are saying Vidya is not only the first Indian , but also the first woman and first non - former player to have this honour..is that correct ....and any idea why she was there ??

 

[Spikey]

not surprised to hear hunt's kick on the bell was touched. not the first person tonight to get too close to the mark
