When Scott was appointed as coach I had massive reservations about him, mainly because:
a) I didn't know much about him as a coach, and;
b) I didn't like him as a player. Always struck me as a genuine ****.
But now that he has been appointed, I couldn't be happier. Coming from the days with Laidley, who was so combative with the media, it's so refreshing to have a guy who is honest but still comes off as a good bloke. Does a great load of good when trying to 'sell' the club.
Enjoying his general game plan also, ftr.
Kudos to the people involved in his appointment.

How different is he as a coach compared to as a player?!!!
I hated the Scott brothers (said so in the thread at some point, though admitted i'd have loved them if I was a Brissie supporter).
But he coaches in a much more modern way compared to how he played. Doesn't just spray the **** out of his players. Understands the long term vision for the club. Quite tactical.

No wonder Bombers fans are reaching for the razor blades and getting ready to lynch Knights. It's one thing being abjectly **** week after week, it's another thing entirely to be abjectly **** week after week EXCEPT for when you play last year's Grand Finalists when you come out and belt them. Must do their heads in.
Wonder how often its happened that a team has lost to the favourite for the wooden spoon one week and knocked off a team in the top 3 the next?

I don't know why it's so surprising? I'd had a feeling most of the week that the upset might happen (though not in the circumstances they did). As **** as Essendon are right now, they're always up for beating another Vic side.

Watched the first five minutes after half time, turned it off. The blues were so abject, the random handballs forward were mindboggling.

Looking like a pretty good call three months down the track. Pity we missed the chance to put your percentage into double figures in the last quarter but can't have everything I suppose.
