Scott to coach Roos

In something of a surprise ( to me ) The Kangas have opted for Collingwood assistant coach and former Brisbane Lions premiership player Brad Scott.

Might this make it easy now for Hardwick to take over at TiggyLand ?

edit:

this too

    good choice, similar to viney, except for the medals, highly regarded at the pies.

    That's a great appointment, from our vantage point. Premiership player, coaching at a club where clearly the coaching panel and footy department (and medical/recovery department) are responsible for a titanic surge in productivity.

    Was he midfield coach at the Pies? If so, I'm a touch jealous.

    Did Hardwick pull out or was he over looked?

    im not sure if he was midfield coach DD, but the way malthouse speaks of him hed bit dissapointed to see him leave.

    No, he simply didnt get the gig. Youd have to think his last real opportunity is Richmond

    Yes he (Scott) was the midfield coach and there was talk of Peter German being looked at for the position. At least he will still be at Casey (for now)

    a very BIG part of being selected for such a job is the ability to sell yourself

    It is amazing how many average players get the top coaching position

    Our own coach Dean Bailey is a perfect example

    Without inside knowledge i would think the Kangaroos have made a wise choice

    Whats the bet MANY of their fans will not agree with the decison

    Ross Lyon

    Alistair Clarkson

    Sounds familiar

    Brad Scott Knows the Game. A very Wise Choice has been made.

    I agree.

    And the three kangas supporters I've spoken to today were happy when they got the text.

    I'm impressed with this decision too.

    He was Part of the 3peat was he not? At least 2. You cannot buy that experience from everybody.

    The Tigers have once again been skinned.

    Maybe they will move to Tasmania in a few years.

    He played in the 2001 and 2002 premierships. Also played in the 2004 GF loss. He played every game in 2003 but missed the finals, so even though he wasnt technically a part of the 3-peat, he was a big part of it.

    From all reports he is brilliant with matchday analysis. Good signing by the Roos. Good luck to them.

    Good choice I think, I like the Idea of Brad Scott coaching, I think he'll be a beaut.

    Hinkley is another, don't rule him out of being coach of the Tigs.

    Brad Scott is a good appointment, I wish him all the best. Having played under the likes of Matthews with 3 Premierships and having been assistant to Malthouse for 3 years. Even taking the reigns a few times when Malthouse was absent. Good appointment. Well suited to North with a young list to work with.

    What's being an average player got to do with getting the top coaching position? The days of playing coaches are over.

    Anyway, Scott was hardly in the same league as a Bailey or Clarkson, who achieved far less on the football field.

    No, he simply didnt get the gig. Youd have to think his last real opportunity is Richmond

    I assume you mean last real opportunity for this year..? According to some reports he doesn't want it.

    Anyhow, what's going on with Harvey and Freo? Surely he's in the gun. Maybe the Club decided there were too many roles up for grabs this year.

    I'm surprised they even have applicants to interview. No, I don't really mean that....haha.

    Fair dinkum, I know some would argue, "And you can talk!" But how would you be growing up in a Tigers family as kids. Since '83/'84 onwards. Looking at their list now: - Richo, Pettifer, Schultz, Brown, Coghlan, Simmonds, Polak, to name just a few that they will have to clear out or replace in the next year or two. Not exactly easy with GC and WS on the horizon and compromised drafts. They're a loong way from a chance at success. Still.

    Something(s) happened at Richmond after 82, somewhat similiar to ourselves in '64, the difference being i don't think we had nearly as much in fighting.

    I have no doubt we bottomed out just in time, as long as these last 2 weeks go to plan.

    Richmond shall be a barren place for at least another decade, which is why they could become the Tasmanian Tigers sometime down the Track.

    It shall be interesting to see how many members the Tigers pull next year, many supporters i think have had a gutfull.

    It will be a tough decision for Hardwick, Not many have coached again after leaving the Richmond Train wreck. Personally i wouldn't touch it.

    Im not savvy that much regarding Richmond...but is Gale going home ( to them ) a bit like Jimma taking control of the Dees ? Is he able to impart sufficient confidence in any incumbant to allay those nagging doubts of a wannabe ( but cagey ) coach ?

    Many people have gone home to Richmond in the last 27 Years only to be spat out not long after, so with Benny Gale returning i can only say Time will tell.

    Benny is a Top Bloke, who years ago lived not far from me so i had a few coffees & Beers with him around the time he retired as a player.

    Always entertaining to watch the Tigers from afar

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
