Scott: 2021 Cats/Dees Prelim Should've Been Postponed

[Clintosaurus 6,440]

All the Cats players looked fine when they had the ball but it seemed they had Ebola when it was time to defend. Just a bunch of one way runners who got badly found out.

[Watson11 1,887]

If you look at the infectious disease reports it was more than likely rotavirus.  One of the main symptoms is “passing excessive amounts of gas”.  I don’t think Scott has fully recovered from it yet.

[Willmoy1947 3,780]

Scott was beaten three times by a superior game plan, which i believe, but he wasn't willing to acknowledge, he will be faced with this year, unless he is willing to rectify by adding just so much leg speed into his tired old players starting from the Bounce into a forward area that quite frankly will not function with those two in it..

It's worth noting that players such as Narkle and Dahlhaus were both available for selection but overlooked for the prelim. Instead the ''ill'' Brad Close (one of the 6) was chosen to play ahead of them.  Close isn't that far ahead of either that you'd take a risk with an unwell player if you didn't have to.

It makes you wonder how sick Close really was, especially as he had more disposals in the prelim than his season average.

It's fair to say I'm a little sceptical as to how much of an effect this illness had on the actual game.

I don't believe a bloody word of it.

Maybe the notorious (but now distant history) 186 game should have been postponed - were there not  quite a few of our guys ailing from an old fashioned flu or gastro on the day?

I think half our guys on 186 day had pulled a heart muscle before the start of the game.

My favourite bit was where Scott says “The last thing I want is for it to be perceived like we are making excuses” to which Damian Barrett replies “I don’t think anyone sees it that way”

After the interview, they went out for drinks, went dancing, got soaked in a sudden rain shower and laughed their heads off about it, cuddled in the night bus on the way home, and I won't tell you how the night ended.

Chris Scott, sooky sooky la la

[Little Goffy 12,577]

Postponed?! We only started playing after half time, isn't that enough?

But seriously, I agree with Scott here. To be truly fair the game should have been postponed at least until the Geelong players had a chance to get younger.

Did any of the Kitty Cats test Positive for Covid?

and when would the game be played once those same Kitty Cats were deemed healthy? 
In the same Podcast you also said that The Demons would have won easily, even if all your players were healthy. 
(Was Gary Rohan fit and well)
 

Better to say nothing i think….

Might watch the Preliminary Final again this weekend 

I watched it on Thursday, it’s awesome every time

That’s embarrassing.

Claiming cat flu is lame.

Long may we walk all over these vain , desperate failures.

Forget covid, the biggest medical mystery confounding the world's best medical minds is the rohan syndrome.

What to make of an otherwise fit young man, an elite athlete no less, coming down with a debilitating sickness every September.

Cause? They don't know. They only know the symptoms - an inability to perform his job to anywhere near a satisfactory level and a violent allergic reaction to leather forcing him to avoid the football at all costs.

Confounding.

Not just September.  Swans moved him on because he couldn't get the ball - a career ending move for most footballers.

So Scott wanted to advantage his team by postponing the game, but disadvantage us compared to the Bulldogs by shortening the time between the PF and GF?

well to compensate he then would have asked the afl for the delayed pf to be played as 4 x 10 min quarters, lol

Fair point, but I would argue we turned it right on after half time in both.

I mean, choose your favourite;

9 goals to 2 in a half to come back from behind to win the Minor Premiership.

10 goals to 1 in a half to enter a Grand Final.

This also highlights just how daft Scott's sickness excuse is. In Round 23 they had a second-half implosion in what was their third consecutive home game with full beaks between (Fri to Sat to Sat) against a team which had had consecutive 6-day breaks (Mon to Sun to Sat) with the first of those being in Perth.

They were also nowhere near it against Port in the Qualifying Final. Presumably they had gout or lupus or something that day.
