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 ?

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

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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.

[deeflog 679]

Did Hardwick pull out or was he over looked?

[Sir Why You Little 36,735]

Hardwick to Richmond??????? "RUN AWAY"!

[Guest JACKtheRIPPER]

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

[beelzebub 23,241]

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

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

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)

[Swampfox 190]

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.

[kallioota 0]

good to see he got the job. now lets all hope this is the down fall of the pies,

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

[H_T 3,036]

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

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.

[beelzebub 23,241]

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
