I can't say for sure as I've never seen him in full flight, but I think its great to have Scott on as a full timer.

I think he has what it takes to go to a Head coach role. Whether or not that is at Melbourne is another question.

Gippy

Welcome to the full time ranks Scott. I think he'll relish the new kids coming aboard

Regularly hear the players praising the mentoring of Scotty West, so very happy we have secured his services

Absolutely thrilled to have West taking on the stoppages. We'd have a hard time finding a better man for that job and the timing is perfect with Scully about to join us. Can you think of a better person to be mentoring him?

I think this is very good news indeed

Perfect timing for the New Look Midfield. Welcome aboard full tilt Scott.

He will no doubt Relish teaching Our new Kids & they will Hopefully take in the Teachings of a top line midfielder.

Pleasant Suprise as i thought Westy would have been taken back by the Bulldogs for 2010.

Another Quiet win i'd say.

Why would he want to leave when he's got the two best midfielders in the country coming his way in November?

Why would he want to leave when he's got the two best midfielders in the country coming his way in November?

And when he most definitely knows that Mfc will be on the improve...will look good on his CV don't you think ?

Of course, that is when and if he may decide to move on (as most usually do).

This is really terrific news and i must admit i thought he'd go back to the kennel but they're a top 4 team with a very advanced and experienced midfield so he'd only be the cream on top whereas at the Dees,he starts with a blank canvas and can mentor Scully,Trengove,Grimes etc. for the next 10 years if he wants,putting his own stamp on an up and coming midfield.
