Brad Scott - SACKED (Part 6)

Voss highest rated player on the ground in Freo’s annihilation of North.

D’Ambrosio the equal 5th highest rated player on the ground last night.

The both cost us nothing and we gave them away for nothing and now they are key players in better coached sides contending for a premiership.

Sometimes a young player is struggling, not because they are “not good enough”, but because the coach only wishes to see what their limitations are instead of what they are capable of.

Pure incompetence by Brad and Brad only, absolute fraud.

Who is that?

Or, had they been left in our pisspoor development (under our pisspoor coaching panel), there’s every chance they’d be absolute plodders and/or languishing in the twos and stubbornly unpicked.

I could argue that their natural talent has been honed by now being in well-run football programs that are everything our shambles isn’t…

Just the type of players we sadly need. I get angry every time I see Voss play

Yea Vossy would have made our players walk a lot taller out there and he would have been damn entertaining to watch, serious cluster that makes me hate Brad even more.

I still shake my head at that Scott press conference where he hung a 20 year old massimo playing his 11th game of footy out the dry publicly after he’d had 27 touches with only 3 turnovers.

What an absolute ****.

And that he can sit there straight faced and talk about his love for developing young players!?

Scott’s third game as coach and we had all the evidence we needed he was not the guy.

I can’t bare to think about the weiderman stretch of games in the year Voss won the vfl bnf and got delisted, while weiderman also got delisted.

That whole stretch of games was some of the worst team selection I can remember ever. I just cannot fathom it. I mean, we even moved Weiderman back in defence, where he’d never played, rather than give Hayes a few games.

I have to ASSUME that Weiderman’s papers must have been stamped already then because it beggars belief that the club could have watched the same performances we did and not draw that line though his name, but it’s almost like Scott had been told by the list management team ‘nah, he’s gone’ and just decided that it was the wrong call and singlehandedly tried to give Weiderman every opportunity to prove him right.

You never know, he could have completely turned everything around in that second to last game, the last of the year in Melbourne, when he was selected over a retiring Heppell.

Because we were trying to win because there was still a chance to make finals :roll_eyes:

Having a funny conversation today at work with a colleague I don’t normally work with.

He is friends with Gavin Wanganeen and was telling me that Gavin was not a fan of Bradley at all :rofl:

That appears to be anybody who knows anything about football.

I thought weiderman got delisted the year after?

Does it really matter ? I’m pretty sure the point still stands.

It is pretty baffling to think back on that little period.

Baffling doesn’t describe how we actually feel about it.

This bloke was a shithouse coach.
That really was the beginning and end of the matter.
He made chronic mistakes from day one and made them over and over again.
His exit lap of honour, where he rewrote history and attempted to elicit sympathy votes from the great unwashed, was sickening.

He was a very poor coach and that’s all there is to say.

I 100% believe there’s bullshit with selections that are out of the coach’s hands.

It’s happened constantly for nearly 25 years through 5 different coaches. The names change slightly but the shenanigans doesn’t.

EDIT: I mean - Nguyen in VFL. Jones in AFL. You reckon it was Scott, has anything gotten better the last fortnight? it’s not just the coach…
