Brad Scott backs Trengove verdict

Featured Replies

Posted

Martin Boulton article on the Trengove appeal in today's Age has a final quote from Scott backing the verdict. No vested interest at all of course. Must be running scared that Trenners will carve them up. Hopefully this fires boys up even more - norf really have this sense that they own us and will beat us any place, any where, any time. Screw that, unleash hell lads.

 

Brad Scott is a peanut. Fighting to make his club and himself relevant. Losing battle.

I honestly think North will either be merged, Tasmanian or dead within five years. Staying in Melbourne has always been a losing battle for them.

Unfortunate, but it's the way it is.

 

Yeah he was on SEN saying something like it was a completely unfair tackle resulting in an injured player and he saw no reason for even argument and Melbourne should just get on with it.....well see you on Sunday Bwad.

Don't know about you, but I'll be seeing him on Saturday.


Persoanlly I didnt think that's what he was saying, at least going by what was shown on the hundreds of news reports about it. Rather I took it as him saying don't take it out on the MRP, but rather subtly hinting it was the fault of the laws comittee and the AFL for introducing the rule.

That's how I read what he was saying.

I was more incensed that Wayne Schimmelbusch got to make the decision before a Demons / Roos game.

Correct, that is what he said. Actually somewhat helpful as it is another person saying the rule is wrong.

 

We're North. We're 15th and nobody barracks for us.

We better smash them into the turf or I'm going to lose my junk


Why doesn't Patrick Dangerfield come out and support Trengove? Too much pride I would have thought.

My opinion of Sam Mitchell has just risen enormously; that's really puttin' 'em on the line!

No surprise really.

The players would even more confused than they usually are.

Can't pin an arm and try to stop them kicking it? So I have to attack the hips, forget about the arm and let them handball?

It really was the 'perfect tackle' but Dangerfield couldn't care less about his own safety and brought his own imbalance and his own concussion.

Two players contributed to a concussion - I say Trengove started the action, and Dangerfield made it into the 'attack' that Faptrick Smith calls it...

Jack the Patsy...

That's exactly what I want to know.

If he comes out and supports Trengove that could be very important in getting him off.

The best thing he can do by 5.30pm this arvo is be named in the Crows lineup at 5pm...

Correct

The best thing we can do is win the next 3 games regardless, that's what good clubs would do and it's time we did it.

I have the greatest respect for Wayne Schimmelbusch as well and no doubt his allegiance to Norf had nothing to do with his decision but whatever happened to the principle about "justice seeing to be done".

As a former player of the club agaisnt who the Dees are playing this week, should he not have removed himself from the tribunal?

I see where you're going with this. Interesting. Winning games...they get you into the finals! And that's where Flags are won!

But we must find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon...

We found it?!

It's all falling into place...

I know you are saying "good teams get on with it."

But the rest of us are saying "good teams don't let political [censored] steal one of our players for three weeks as an example."


I've never liked Brad Scott. He just seems like a bit of a [censored].

Agreed. I'm glad Bailey doesn't go out of his way to comment on the afl politics with the media like B.Scott does.

God I hope we smash them this week.

Couldn't believe my eyes this morning when reading the hun when there is Brad Scott whining that Melbourne can't use injuries or suspensions as an excuse when they've ( kangaroos ) have had players unavailable all year. What is it with this club ? Just worry about what you're doing Kangaroos and stop worrying about us. Last years whinging was bad enough

 

I would rather be the ones continuously whinged about than the whingers....

North Melbourne = Irrelevant..

Although Scott's whining can often drown out a 747 I like it. I like seeing that increasingly irrelevant club put up it's hand in a vain hope somebody will notice it.

Whine away Nth. Mention us all you want. Cry about how people care about what we do and nobody - even your supporters - cares about what you do. Stamp your foot and complain that you are the Port of the Victorian teams but without the history. Want to be us while realising you will never be able to.

It's as predictable as it is funny.

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
