For the integrity of the game, every team in the competition should be able to decide where they play their 11 home games,” Chris Scott said yesterday.

Chris Scott warns of rush to shut down opposition in wake of Richmond’ premiership success
Herald Sun
October 3, 2017 1:41pm
GEELONG coach Chris Scott has warned of the potential aesthetic issues AFL footy may face in the wake of Richmond’s groundbreaking premiership.
Speaking on Monday night, Scott said the Tigers’ intense pressure was the key to its grand final win over Adelaide.
And as every side tries to reach footy’s pinnacle, Scott suggested shutting down the opposition — as the Tigers were able to do to the Crows — could become the major focus.
“I think Adelaide — I don’t think they’re a slow team — but Richmond made them look a bit slow,” Scott told Fox Footy.
“I think every side will say ‘If we can’t pressure really well, we’re going to have to be unbelievable at everything else’.
“Which is going to be a bit of a problem for the AFL because more and more, as an industry, we’re trying to open the game up.
“But we keep getting reminded that if you can close the opposition down, you’re halfway there — more than halfway there.”

This twit talks about aesthetic issues while failing to realize that one side out there scored over 100 points by playing some highly entertaining football! Yes, we smashed them defensively, but we also demoralized them with our gut running, out-coached them & then blitzed them with waves of skilled forwards!
I'm surprised the RSPCA didn't step in to stop the match!
-
BAHAHA the sookery is what they should call that stuffing cat crap pile. Fairdinkum, it was the fitness, pace and endurance that allowed our side to pressure teams like that. Team work and the willingness to keep running when your body is telling you to lay down and die! That is what the difference is and our blokes stuffing well did it when the others couldn't/wouldn't go with them so sook it up Scott, you either want it or you cave in trying.

Pride and petulance: Chris Scott’s critique of the 2017 Richmond flag
Alphingtonian
theRoar.com.au
Feb 7, 2018
Some of the more attentive footy supporters may be aware of a strange little conversation that occurred on the Monday night following Richmond’s awesome display of tactical dominance over Adelaide at the MCG on grand final day, 2017.
With speed, skill, toughness, and flair, the Tigers powered to the flag – but some weren’t impressed, especially one Chris Scott.
When asked to comment on Richmond’s win by Mark Robinson, on a well-known footy show, he first admitted his envy (which, to be fair, his coach co-panelist Allan Richardson echoed), then felt compelled to give a lecture on the defensive nature of the win.
Scott inferred the win was dour and boring, citing the 2005-06 Sydney vs West Coast grand finals as examples of great contests but poor spectacles.
So if Scott didn’t like the spectacle, one would have to presume his own team would’ve played the game as it should be played last year?
Seeing as finals are the most important and most watched games, and Scott’s assertion that the Swans-Eagles grand finals were boring, let’s start there.
The Tigers played three finals in 2017, as did Geelong – in two of Richmond’s three finals they scored over 100 points, while the Cats couldn’t crack the ton, but did limp to their lowest finals score since 1914, in the quarter-final against Richmond, scoring just five goals.
If one takes the liberty to say most fans enjoy open, free-flowing games over stoppage-ridden ones, then Richmond play a more attractive style of footy, with 42 fewer stoppages in 2017 than Geelong. That’s nearly a game’s worth.
The Tigers also had more bounces and far more metres gained – a clear sign of their running ability – than Geelong, with significantly more rebound 50s, marks inside 50, and a higher percentage.
It’s clear one team was playing defensive footy, and it wasn’t the premiers.
In what became a torrid slog down at Simmonds Stadium, Richmond tried all day to run-and-gun and break open the stoppage and zone clamps put on by Scott at the narrowest of AFL grounds, but couldn’t make the game the spectacle it ought to have been.
The Round 21 clash sums up the hypocrisy of Scott’s statement. Richmond went to Geelong to play running footy – in their previous month, they had only scored under 90 points once, whereas the Cats had scored more than 90 only once.
When you support a team, you are compelled to watch them play every week – if nothing more than to see how they go. It doesn’t mean you enjoy the style of football they play, even if you’re happy with the result.
As a Cats fan, I enjoyed watching Richmond’s play more than Geelong’s in 2017. The Tigers had the high-flying athletic exploits of Jack Riewoldt up forward, contrasting with the brute strength and wrestling of Tom Hawkins.
They had speed all over the park and a bold tactical gameplan that revolutionised footy for the better, maximising the space of the MCG to produce electric passages of play.
Geelong had a stoppage-based, defensive gameplan built around trying to shut down space and make the ground smaller, while moving it forward in a measured, safe way.
In the quarters, these two styles clashed and the team that wanted to win by using space and speed, rather than simply clamping down the game with repetitive stoppages, won. It was a win for football and the spectacle of the game.
One coach may have had a ghost of a point in criticising the premiers in 2017, but it wasn’t Scott.
Don Pyke’s Crows played blistering, attacking footy for much of last season, only to be overwhelmed on grand final day. Pyke however showed his class and humility in defeat, as Damien Hardwick did in victory.
Don’t get me wrong, Scott is usually a smooth mover in the footy media and the many public events he has to attend. In fact, he’s probably the best spin doctor in the coaching business. It’s perhaps why his comments about Richmond weren’t properly scrutinised. Indeed, if the tables were turned, could you imagine the outcry if Hardwick dared criticise Geelong’s style of play after a grand final win?
Scott has a right to his opinion. Maybe to him, the game looks better saturated with stoppages and where strength in the contest, height, and overall physical dominance rule the day. I prefer watching quick exciting teams that use pressure to win the ball and then break like hellfire.
Ahead of the 2018 season, many teams seem to be heading down the Richmond route of ‘speed kills’, while teams like Geelong and Adelaide will persist with positional, stoppage-based footy and height up forward.
One thing’s for sure: Chris Scott has more pressure on him than ever before, with many pundits already making Geelong their premiership favourite.

What a great article. I loved watching Scott’s saltiness after the GF. I want to traumatise and terrorise the Cats this year just to see more of that saltiness from that campaigner.

I wish all the unsuccess in the world to the Snott Brothers.

Got an uncle who is a mad cats fan.
Dislikes Chris Scott immensely.

Noice, he is a salty idiot

Snott Brothers :clapping ;D, wrote it again because I like laughing hard when I read something really funny the first time. After that, hearing Snott brothers, just makes me laugh even more. Snott Brothers :lol :lol :lol :lol :snidegrin :snidegrin :snidegrin :laugh:

Yep I agree loved the article, and yep just because I hate peelong so stuffing much :gotigers smash captain underpants and old man, one armed gazza (sorry gaz you are one of the greats, but unless you were faking the last couple of years just to get out of GC you may be gone).
-
Jeez Scott is a flog! Still didn't give us credit, in his presser he was salty saying that we are beatable and reckons they dominated for most portions of the game :wallywink Will beat us next time apparently.... ::)
-
Gracious as ever after defeat :weights.
Scott said they wanted to play us in finals and can beat us.
He also said "People say the comp is close in middle [of the ladder] but the comp is close at the top of the ladder too". A dig at us not being better than them.
You lost again Chris despite an armchair ride from the umps. You were lucky tonight we butchered so many of our 20 more inside 50s; that won't happen next time. You'll also have to play us with our 5 missing premiership players back by then. You'll be outside the Eight by Sunday if results go as expected. Hard to play us in finals if you're not in the Eight ::) :stupid.
-
enough talk, i want to hear this wankers presser
any footage??
-
I hope he keeps it up actually.
He is just embarrassing himself.
He is very sour, obviously his parents never instilled the adage of good sportsmanship in personality.
Be interesting where this goes, I'm sure Damian will be asked the question re: Chris Scotts press conference.
Hope we meet them in a final.
-
I dozed off on the lounge and missed it. Will have to wait until it's up on the AFL site. That's 3 straight, tosser. Win or lose Dimma always gives a little customary credit to the opposition. The Scotts are just the saltiest wankers going around.

This is the same tool that was screwing his face up like he was sucking on a Warhead on 360 the Monday after we won the flag and even Alan Richardson had to pull him up on it.
-
:thatsgold
What an absolute tool. Thats why i wanted to win tonight and not for any other reason
now lets all cheer for the swannys tomorrow and kick these pricks out of the 8
-
Heard some of it driving home from the game. Said something about looking forward to see what his team can do over the next 4,5 6 or weeks
Newsflash! You need to make the 8 first
Good chance by the end of this round they will be out of the 8
-
He also said we're not a a tru;y great team because we keep opposition sides in it and against the truly great teams you're never in the game....
...so I guess Hawthorn weren't a truly great team either considering all those close matches Geelong had with them...that Geelong usually ended up winning.... :shh

Here's the transcript:
'Beatable' Tigers don't have flag in the bag yet
Nick Bowen
afl.com.au
Aug 4, 2018
GEELONG coach Chris Scott is adamant this year's premiership race is wide open, saying reigning premier Richmond will need "a lot to go right" for it to clinch back-to-back flags.
Scott was speaking after his team had come within three points of breaking Richmond's record streak of wins at the MCG, which stretched to 19 on Friday night.
The Cats also had a chance to take the lead inside the final two minutes, but Gary Ablett pushed an open shot from 35m well wide.
Before Friday night's game, the closest any team had got to the Tigers at the MCG this year had been 13 points (Hawthorn in round three).
But Scott saw enough things in his team's performance to be confident it could turn the tables on Richmond if it got the chance in the finals.
"We're disappointed but we're not discouraged with the performance. We had our chances to win," Scott said.
"I thought we had the better of the game for big parts of the game, so I don't think anyone from our footy club should be walking away thinking that we need to change things drastically to beat them
"They're the best side in it at the moment, but they need a lot to go right from them to win it – no question."
Pressed about his take on Richmond's flag defence, Scott praised Damien Hardwick's team, but did not back away from his belief it was beatable.
"They've won 19 at the MCG in a row, they are good, but particularly watching the game last week I thought Collingwood were on top for big parts of the game," he said.
"When you talk about the juggernauts of the competition of years gone by you were just never in the game against them. I don't see that (with Richmond, but) I don't want to overstate it.
"If we're good enough over the next six or seven weeks and we get another chance to play them – and hopefully we do – we'll give ourselves a really good chance.
"I think there are other teams in exactly the same boat as well. Yeah, they're a good team, but they're beatable."
As for Ablett's shot on goal that would likely have won the game for Geelong, Scott said simply: "I thought he would kick it."

Yup this is the quote that Dio was referring to that really shows what a big jealous sook he is. Can someone tell him what our avg winning margin in the 19 game streak is or point him to our finals series last year......
Should change the name of our biggest sook thread in his honour.
"When you talk about the juggernauts of the competition of years gone by you were just never in the game against them. I don't see that (with Richmond, but) I don't want to overstate it.

Let the baby have his rattle....
-
Do you think any of this gets back to dimmer. That’s a really good motivator should we meet them again
What a tosser
-
I just wonder in that gf power beat lions Dimma toyed around with the Scott brothers and really gave it to them.Maybe part of that to.
-
I didn’t think it possible for anyone to be a bigger flog than Brad Scott but his brother proved me wrong last night.
Chris is by far the better twin but he sounded like an immuture baby last night.
Make the finals first before shooting off your mouth you c0ckhead.
We had 23 more inside 50’s last night and should have won by 10 goals, the umpires that were simply cheating and he thinks they are in our league. Get a clue!
-
na IMO there is no bigger flog in the league than Chris
remember his views when bevo had an opposite opinion on the rule changes
he is a fool
-
(http://quotesnhumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/25-Funny-Salty-meme-1.jpg) Good ol Chris what a toss
-
Can’t stand how this tosser is regarded as a statesman of the game. Inherited a premiership side and has treaded water since. Doesn’t know what it’s like to be a loser and can’t handle it. He should get used to it.
-
Really!
That is as close as they will ever get to us, totally flattered them the end result. We controlled them and the umpires last night, Scott can suck my chocolate salty balls!
-
Chris Scott is just insufferable. Absolutely hates us.
Snarky comments after we won the Grand Final last year.
Inherited a super team unlike Dimma who had to do it the hard way.
Good luck beating us next year when we have Tom.
-
Even Gary Lyon on Fox just then had our backs saying their best players were at their best and they still didn't win and we've got players to come back. They blew it. Everyone knows how we play, it's no secret and it's no secret how to beat us. It's easier said than done. I still think the only time we were genuinely towelled up was against the Eagles but even then we could have put them to the sword at half time. Against Port they had one 10 minute flash in the pan in the second quarter and we were our own worst enemy in the second half while keeping them to only a goal or two for the entire second half. Against the Giants despite some other issues, had we kicked even a little better we still would have fallen over the line.

You know it’s a ridiculous statement when even a hater like Lyon is backing us

Garry is a hater lite, just liked giving us poo when we were bad, Scott has a neurotic, pathological hatred that runs deep in his tiny little mind, it will trip him up.

I caught the comment late but he was actually going in to bat for us after someone else on the panel said something about how good Geelong were. If I wasn’t already sitting down I would have fallen over.

I reckon now Lyon is just a light weight anti Richmond troll that’s common among #goDees. Where as Scott losing to us actually tears him up inside. Should they even make the finals (lol) and we play them again all he has done is give us some ammo.

We will always have the ClangerWoodLett handball extravaganza to laugh at out of that game, they were all running next to each other hand balling between themselves and I think it was Sheddy or someone just intercepts it and sends it back down to our goals LOL

Chris Scott clarifies his post match comments
By Nic Negrepontis
SEN
5 Aug 2018
Geelong coach Chris Scott has clarified the comments from his press conference after last night’s narrow loss to Richmond.
After the game, Scott commented on the Tigers in a way which raised a few eyebrows.
“We’re disappointed, but we’re not discouraged with the performance, we had our chances to win and we had the better of the game for big parts of the game,” Scott said post-match.
“They’re the best side in it at the moment, but they need a lot to go right for them to win it, no question.
“If we’re good enough over the next six weeks and we get another chance to play them, and hopefully we do, we’ll give ourselves a really good chance.
“They’re a good team, but they’re beatable. They’ve won 19 in a row at the MCG, they are good, but watching the game last week I thought Collingwood were on top of them for big parts.
“If you talk about the juggernauts of the competition in years gone by, you’re just never in the game against them. I don’t see that. I don’t want to overstate it and we think we can play better, but it’s a pretty tight competition at the top.”
On SEN’s Crunch Time, Scott said he didn’t mean it disrespectfully and just felt it was a fact.
“I think it’s just a truism. I would even reflect back on my time as a Brisbane player when we were at our best at Round 20, irrespective of the season you’ve had, you still need a lot to go right to win a premiership,” Scott said.
“I think I’m just stating the obvious, it’s far from a forgone conclusion.
“I think Richmond is by far the best team in the competition, I’m not here to argue that point, I think that’s a given, but where it will be in six to 10 weeks, I think it’s still very much in the air.
“It certainly wasn’t my intention to make a big comment, I thought I was just stating the obvious.”
SEN’s David King summed up what he felt Scott meant by the comments.
“I think what he was trying to say, and it didn’t come out that way last night, and it probably does sound a little bit disrespectful on occasion, but what he’s saying is, I’m telling my troops we can beat them,” he told SEN’s Crunch Time.
“They aren’t unbeatable, they aren’t as dominant as Essendon in 2000 or the Brisbane Lions of the three-peat, or the Cats or the Hawks, they’re not that.
“I think when you really have a sensible look at it, he’s right, but you just rarely hear a coach put that on the record after a game.”

The lions would maul all those clubs he mentioned.

We know what you meant Scott u fool and it was that you think we are crap, ate you up inside when we won a flag and you think you can beat us as we aren’t much chop
That was the hidden message champ
-
“I think it’s just a truism. I would even reflect back on my time as a Brisbane player when we were at our best at Round 20, irrespective of the season you’ve had, you still need a lot to go right to win a premiership,” Scott said.
Is that what he meant really? or did he mean that in game we're a side that needs a lot to go right? I had the feeling he was talking about us game to game and not for the premiership - might be wrong though. In anycase not hard to read between the lines
-
Any team to win needs everything ., well more than the rest to go right
Scott hates us and was being disrespectful like most of the salty losers, my god I wanna go back to back
-

so after 48 hours he realised stuff i shouldnt have told the truth so now i better back pedal.
stuff i hope they miss the finals the poo stuffs
-
When this idiot talks about the great teams of the past, they were all beatable.
Every team lost 4 or 5 games for the season and went on to win a premiership.
The thing about AFL forty is you don’t have to win every game, or win by a certain amount, you just have to win the last game of the year.
Scott was being disrespectful and I hope like hell it comes back to bite him on his fat arse.

the way he said " we dont have to change things drastically to beat THEM" reeks of deep hatred for us
well said roosy tonight who at least understands the game when he said Richmond has more upside than geelong. He also said we dominated the game

well said roosy tonight who at least understands the game when he said Richmond has more upside than geelong. He also said we dominated the game
Just watched the 3rd quarter again. We should have kicked another 4 or 5 in that quarter alone, we were that dominant. We were just playing with them.
Plus they got the Short non free kick and goal.
-
Roosy stood up for us? Well if anyone is gonna tell it how it is he is. Looks Chris Sook should grab a kleenex and wipe the tears of rage off of his stupid looking mine craft block head.
-
David King didn't miss us either, he took the opportunity to stick the boots in as well with this passage: “I think what he was trying to say, and it didn’t come out that way last night, and it probably does sound a little bit disrespectful on occasion, but what he’s saying is, I’m telling my troops we can beat them,”
“They aren’t unbeatable, they aren’t as dominant as Essendon in 2000 or the Brisbane Lions of the three-peat, or the Cats or the Hawks, they’re not that.
“I think when you really have a sensible look at it, he’s right, but you just rarely hear a coach put that on the record after a game.”
Hey King, GAGF.
-
Personally, I agree with that sentiment, insofar as I'd suggest there isn't that unbeatable aura about us that there was for those other dominant dynasties. But publicly stating that goes against the grain of "footyspeak". Sort of like telling someone to their face that they need to lose weight....
I'd also definitely add that they played as well as they could, particularly in the second half, while we dominated much of the play but fluffed more than a few very gettable chances (see Castagna et al).
-
Our forward entries were a disgrace. Our forward system fell apart. Players (except Riewoldt) were just waving their arms wanting the ball over the top, if our inside 50s were only marginally better as well as some better leading by the forwards I think we beat them by 10 goals easily.
Scott is bloody kidding Himself. :lol
-
I hope he's enjoying the season they're having..... :shh
-
They will play finals
Easy run home ... be fun if we meet them again
-
Personally I thought Hardwick's comments post match were spot on. We were a bit flat particularly in the last quarter and we did not make the most of our forward entries. It was only belatedly mentioned that our team against Geelong was the weakest team we have put out this year.
-
I hope he's enjoying the season they're having..... :shh
This is the real point and why those press conferences and the media in general are the greatest source of fluff.
When has the coach of the 9th ranked team ever spoken so disrespectfully of the reigning premier who also sits as the top side on the ladder after round 20?
What gives Chris Scott the right to think he can change the conversation from his own basket case of a season to turn up the heat on the $2.50 favourite for the flag?
The real question for Chris Scott is 7 seasons after their last premiership and a record of 2 wins from 9 finals with a topped up list recruiting Ablett and Dangerfield, is this list underperforming?
-
Don't really worry about what Scott says. We still won the game.
We also had FIVE premiership starters out, plus Conca who on form would be a starter as well in place of BEllis or McIntosh.
So just think:
We drop Graham onto Ablett
Prestia onto Selwood
Broad onto Menzell
Conca onto Kelly
Houli as the other rebounding back for either Ellis or McIntosh
Butler in for the out of form Castagna as our most effective small forward.

A few points bro.
Houli - don't agree that he'd come in and automatically be a better option of half back than BEllis. Pretty similar with their attack on the footy...or lack thereof. But as of right now, I think BEllis looks the better option & Houli's looked a bit old and slow. That's probably down to his groin troubles but he's got a bit to do to get anywhere near his previous good form.
Conca onto Kelly - yes, that's probably a better result than what happened last week but I wouldn't pencil in a win for Concs either.
Graham - Ablett probably still gets his 30 odd
Butler - he's not our most effective small forward. Castagna has finally started to kick a few again so I don't see the logic in dropping him for Butler who, to be honest, is one of the most petrified players I've ever seen. And one of the most inconsistent ones.
Have always said if you could merge Butler/Castagna into one player they'd be one hell of a player. But they both have some big deficiencies
-
Butler who, to be honest, is one of the most petrified players I've ever seen. And one of the most inconsistent ones.
Amen

Would've beaten GWS comfortably and smashed Geelong had Butler been playing....:shh

Thanks for the reply AT.
Yeah, I think everyone has differing opinions on players.
Still do think that those six players would add a lot to our team and probably take a bit away from the cats best players on the weekend - Ablett, Kelly, Menzel and Selwood.

But Geelong coach Chris Scott yesterday foreshadowed the prospect that this season may yet prove another outlier ahead of a weekend of critical games as the end of the home-and-away season draws near.
The Cats slipped from the eight after a three-point loss to reigning premiers Richmond last Friday and face a massive clash against archrivals Hawthorn at the MCG tomorrow.
Richmond seem certain to claim the minor premiership, which will guarantee them two finals games at the MCG, a ground where they have won 19 matches in succession. As a result of that dominance, the Tigers are heavily favoured to claim back-to-back premierships.
But rather than be discouraged, Scott believes last Friday’s clash gave the Cats and others reason for optimism with three weeks remaining in the home-and-away season.
“They are clearly the best team in the competition but we pushed them pretty hard,” Scott said.
“The other thing that really gives us room for optimism is that if we can play well enough, it is not as if we will be limping into the finals.
“I am still firmly of the view — and I may be proven wrong — but I am firmly of the view that there are a lot of teams in it, more than any other year I can think of.
“I can see a team finishing eighth and getting no more disadvantage than if they finish fifth, and then you roll on from there. Those sort of things are possibilities.”

Someone should remind Scott that in 2012 we beat both eventual Grand Finalists but it matters little if you are outside of the Eight ::).

From Barrett's 'Sliding Doors' column:
IF ... Lethal has the best ever AFL crack at an opponent with his "if it bleeds, we can kill it" call on Essendon in 2001 ...
THEN ... Chris Scott's less-specific but equally loaded post-match barb at Richmond last week might yet have similar explosive impact.

sure thing. Then we can expect that the cats can win the next 3 flags as lethal did
FMD anyone else get the impression that we are the most hated team in the afl.
I think everyone didnt care that much we won 1 flag, but now its all out attack against us.
IMO i think if we can somehow get a flag this year it would be even sweeter than last year.

Love being hated like we were back in pre 80s. Only difference now is that I can appreciate it more.

Is it just me but being at the game last week we were so far ahead of Geelong. Not once did it seem they might win other than the last 30 seconds imo.
We outplayed them all night but just couldn’t put them away, and it looked like we were going at half pace.
Our delivery into our forward line kept them in the game and it’s as simple as that. Plus the umpires...
Geelong are simply making up the numbers at best.
Chris Scott can FO.
-
The 'holy trinity' all had ~30 touches each, Kelly was BoG, where does their improvement come from next time? To paraphrase his peanut brother, had Ablett kicked that goal at the end they would have stolen the game.
-
Clearly Simon Black does not agree with Scott.

if you strip away the last 10 mins we dominating most of the game so Christina Scott can EAD.

Here is Simon Black's comments:
Triple-flag star says Tigers capable of dynasty
Jason Phelan,
AAP
Aug 11, 2018
GEELONG coach Chris Scott doesn't believe Richmond has an unbeatable aura just yet, but according to his former teammate Simon Black, they are on the right path.
Scott fired a salvo across the Tigers' bow recently when he declared them beatable and suggested they don't have quite the same aura as some AFL juggernauts of yesteryear, and he should know, having been part of the mighty Lions side that swept to three premierships in a row from 2001 to 2003.
But did Leigh Matthews' Brisbane side have the aura of a powerhouse team after one flag? Two? Did it take three grand final wins to establish their reputation as one of the most fearsome units of the modern era?
Damien Hardwick's men might well be on their way to gaining a similar reputation, with the Tigers grabbing their own slice of history with a record 19 wins in a row at the MCG.
But three-time premiership Lion Simon Black, an unabashed fan of what Richmond have been able to achieve so far, echoed the sentiments of his old premiership teammate Scott.
The 2002 Brownlow Medal winner believes another flag is required for them to reach the pantheon of truly feared and revered great AFL teams.
"To be considered a powerhouse team in my books you've got to win multiple premierships in a short window," Black said.
"Richmond have got all the hallmarks of being able to go ahead and do that again the way that they're playing.
"There's a bit of a gap between them and the rest.
"If they can go back-to-back then they go into that next category.
"Winning grand finals is ultimately the key to being regarded as a powerhouse (historically). Port Adelaide finished on top numerous years and were only able to win the one flag.
"Essendon (premiers in 2000) were the same when we played them at the Gabba in 2001."
History shows Brisbane were able to end the Bombers' tilt at a premiership dynasty when they defeated Kevin Sheedy's men in the 2001 Grand Final, having beaten them in their round-10 encounter.
Matthews famously fired up his charges with his "if it bleeds, we can kill it' pep talk that year, with Scott's recent comments in a similar vein to those of the master coach.
While he's bullish on Richmond's flag chances, Black is sticking with his pre-season prediction of a maiden Greater Western Sydney grand final appearance and win.
But where the Giants are struggling with injuries, the Tigers, like the three-peat Lions, have enjoyed a relatively good run.
The same premiership line-up of any club has never, in the history of the game, played in another flag.
Richmond won't be the first either, but it will be a matter of selection and not injury.
"You do need a bit of luck with injuries and have your better players playing well," Black said.
"It's critical. If you lose two or three of your best half-a-dozen then you can come back to the field pretty quickly.
"But winning is a habit and losing is a habit and you can clearly see that Richmond have that belief and confidence.
"They're not unbeatable, but they'll be hard to (stop)."

C'mon Hawks, don't blow it now.

Hawks beat the Cats by 11 pts :rollin.
Ablett had a chance to level the scores but missed everything and then O'Meara kicked the sealer.
Waits for Scott to tell us Hawthorn are beatable and looks forward to playing them in the finals :wallywink.

Geelong might be two games outside the 8 at the end of the round.
I'd say their bigger concern is what Mad Monday costumes they'll be wearing come week 1 of the finals...

With Sydney playing Melbourne one of them will be left on 48 points and most likely in 8th.
Hopefully Sydney wins leaving Melbourne one game and huge percentage in front of Geelong
Collingwood and Port will need to win for best case.
However then Melbourne play West Coast in Perth and then GWS in Melbounre while Geelong are up against Freo and Suns both at Geelong.
So either way either Geelong or Melbourne miss out. Cant pick which result l like better. Probably Melbourne in 9th for the 2nd year in a row.

they will make it!

same thing happened last week and it was the complete reversal, some even calling it a win for the cats. Funny lot these so called experts are.

Yeah, Brownless called the Geelong mids lazy and Scott, when asked about it during his post-match presser, responded by dismissing/mocking Brownless as a ex-forward who would know nothing about being a midfielder.

He's genuinely lost the plot. We rolled our opponents, and the Dogs had to do it in four games.
-
Not having seen the comments....I think he's just saying that going into finals us and the Dogs weren't the best side. Which is correct. But it's all about who IS the best in finals...which in 2016 was the Dogs & in 2017 it was us :shh
So I don't really get the point he's trying to make as no one gives a flying stuff about any team from any specific year except the premiers

We were the most consistent side last year (and this year), we lost the close ones last year which we won this year which basically is the difference in the win/loss columns.
The reality in football right now is that consistency of effort is key, dominating the comp is no longer possible. I believe our mindfulness program gives us the edge. He’d have more credibility if he balanced his view with this type of comment as it’s become our point of difference

Not the best side we won every game by a average of 6 goals :gotigers.

Agree AT.
I think he’s saying you don’t have to be the best team over the season to be a premiership threat as Richmond and the bulldogs have done previously. Adelaide was clearly the best team last season but we smashed them and Bulldogs weren’t the best team going in but eventually won the premiership. I think he’s saying this more for his own teams players and supporters to believe anything is possible even considering Geelong has been pretty inconsistent during the season proper.
It’s just that when he speaks it comes across as arrogant and disrespectful.
-
thats not what he said or meant at all.
"i have to be careful with my words here, but Richmond....and Buldogs werent the best team in the final series""
if it was a one off comment you could discount it, but the the guy has had it in for us for a fair while now hence the cheap shots.

I haven’t seen it myself.
Well if he said we weren’t the best team during the finals series that’s just stupid.
If we weren’t the best team during the finals who was?
I was giving him the benefit of the doubt but if he said that then he’s just kidding himself and I have no idea how he could justify it. Did anyone pull him up in it? Or did Gerard and Blobbo just lick his balls with every word that spewed from his mouth? How could he justify that comment?

Sorry Not sorry Adelaide were not "clearly the best team" -

So punchable, both of them

Someone should tell Chris Scott that we have a 7% better winning record than the next best in the comp. over the last 50 games (past 2 seasons and a bit).
Richmond 36-14 72%
GWS 31-16-3 65%
Sydney 32-18 64%
WCE 32-18 64%
Geelong 31-18-1 63%
Adelaide 30-19 61%
And despite our woeful 2016, our winning record is better than Geelong over the past 100 games each has played:

Scott was questioned when he declared minor premiers Richmond as "beatable" in the lead-up to their round 20 loss to the Tigers, but repeated his assertion on Sunday.
"I think they are beatable. I still stand by that," he said.
"Will someone beat them? I think they are the odds on favourite.
"I think they are going to be tough to beat. They have clearly been the best team.
"But I think there are there is eight teams in the finals that would think if they don't win a premiership they will be disappointed.
"It is one of those rare years where everyone would think if the cards fall their way they are a good chance."

If you are going to shoot your mouth off (more than once) you had better be able to back it up.
Chris and Geelong fell way short and I couldn’t be happier.

Couldn't of happened to a more entitled wanker and club of deluded wankers and their arrogant tosser fans. The best bit is they get poo picks on top of their fail and squandered the farm burnt out champs instead of a game plan.

In some ways I often wonder if the compromised drafts worked in our favour.

Haven't Geelong given away all draft picks to remain relevant in the present ??
They will be spewing if Kelly goes .

Yep. Geelong has given away their first round pick in the last 3 drafts. Their last first round pick was Nakia Cockatoo at the 2014 draft.
2017:
Traded end of first round compo pick 19 (Motlop to Port) for Ablett from Gold Coast.
2016:
Traded 2017 first round pick as a future pick for Touhy from Carlton.
2015:
Traded first round pick for Dangerfield from Adelaide.
Traded 2016 first round pick as a future pick for Henderson from Carlton.

Tim Kelly was pick 24 last year. So if he goes, the Cats have pretty much had three years of no quality youth coming into the club.
They tried topping up to pinch a flag when they were/are nowhere near good enough. They are in for a world of pain in a few years time when there will be a huge age bracket gap in the middle of their list. So they'll be 'forced' to top up on the top up just to remain mediocre or go down the complete rebuild from scratch path. Either way there's a real potential for them to do a Carlton and absolutely destroy their list for a decade.
But according to Chris Scott, a lot will need to go right for Richmond ::) :facepalm :doh :wallywink :stupid.

Nothing would make me happier than a Chris Scott Geelong outfit to implode. Kinda like how St Kilda kept rolling the dice with its best 22 and developed no one else and them after 2x GF appearances bottomed out.

Geelong still going the 'quick fix' top up route. They're trying to poach Jack Steven from St Kilda.

'They were better last year': Why Scott believes Cats can trouble Tigers
AFL.com.au
Mitch Cleary
Sep 17, 2019
CHRIS Scott believes Geelong has a "method that troubles" a Richmond side he declared a better outfit in 2018 than the 2019 version.
Friday night's preliminary final will be just the second meeting for the two sides this year after Geelong's commanding 67-point win back in round 12.
And while the Tigers are expected to field eight players that missed that loss – including Jack Riewoldt, David Astbury, Kane Lambert and Toby Nankervis – Scott said his side would take confidence.
"They've (Richmond) made a few minor tweaks to the way they've been playing since then, but I think to look on the positive side, and I don't think it means that much, but certainly our players aren't looking back thinking we can't beat them," Scott said on Tuesday.
"I think we do have a method that troubles them, I'm not a big fan of looking too far back but I don't think we were anywhere near as good a team as we are now, last year.
"And I think they were a better team last year than they are now.
"We played them twice (last year) and got roughly within a kick those times (three point and 18-point losses) as well.
"For what it's worth, our players would think, 'Well if we get the game on our terms there is a way to beat them'."

Pin this up on every Tiger player's locker.
What a sooky smug idiot! Yeah Scotty, a team that's added Tom Lynch to its forward line and won its last 10 games in a row including a final interstate is a worse side :stupid.
-
I think they’re exactly the same team as last year with rule changes which suit them
-
Same team minus Hawkins. I mean he's just lost his leading goalkicker and he's coming out with this crap. Once again he's making a fool of himself at the detriment of his team. He hasn't learnt from his sooking about the 'G backfiring. He can't help opening his big mouth without putting his foot in it. If he's resorting already to 'mind games' (using that term lightly) then deep down he doesn't believe they can beat us.
Bring on Friday night! :gotigers

We have to smash these pricks just so I can watch his peeed off little cut face, PLEASE !!!!

They’re going to have to find a way to get us scoring 5 goals less than we have averaged against the top 6.
In fact, our lowest score against a top 6 side is 82 - 2 and half goals higher than their average score conceded or scored.
They’ll need to do that without Tomahawk who averages 3.5 goals per game (2.5 kicked himself and 1 goal assist per game).
They’re coming from a long way back

How Richmond's recent form counters Scott's comments
By Andrew Slevison
SEN
18 Sep 2019
Ahead of Friday night’s preliminary final, Geelong coach Chris Scott believes his side will be facing a Richmond team of inferior quality to last year.
Scott suggests his Cats present as a much stronger outfit than they were in 2018 when they got within 18 and three points of the Tigers in their two encounters.
Damien Hardwick’s Richmond was the best side in the competition until last year’s preliminary final so Geelong’s performances against them, doubled with a 67-point demolition job in Round 12 this season, has Scott full of belief.
However, Tim Watson has moved to counter Scott’s comments after taking a close look at the Tigers, who have won 10 in a row since returning from the bye in Round 15, by comparing their form to last year.
“It’s worth actually analysing what he (Scott) said there about the fact that he believes they (Richmond) were a better team last year because statistically across the year, Richmond were better in 2018,” the Essendon great said on SEN Breakfast.
“Across the year they were better, but since Round 15 this year, it’s a different tale.
“We all know injuries had a huge impact on their season this year.
“Comparing the back end of 2018 to 2019 for Richmond, in '18, they won three of their last four home-and-away games by under 10 points so there were alarm bells going into that finals series. That led to that loss to Collingwood in the prelim final.
“Overall in 2019, Richmond are more rounded than in '18 and '17. Their ball movement from the back half is number one in the competition and that’s without Alex Rance.
“They use the corridor more too. They’re the number four side in the competition at taking the ball from the defensive part of the ground into the corridor. So they are jamming the ball down your throat.
“In some ways they are more attacking and more dangerous than they were in '17 and '18.
“I’m not sure what he’s saying stacks up if you scrutinise it really heavily and deeply.
“I think if you looked at it overall and said, ‘ok, '18 to '19’, he might have a point there. But if you are looking at when they really started to gather their best team together and their momentum started to build.
“Post-Round 15 is when Dusty Martin really started to hit his straps as well. I think they’re (Geelong) facing a much better team than they faced in 2018.”
Taking a deeper dive into Richmond’s 2019 form versus that of their premiership triumph in 2017 and their home-and-away dominance in 2018, it shows that the Tigers are in better nick this time around.
Richmond from Round 15 up until the preliminary final 👇
Wins Losses For Against %
2019 10 0 994 631 157.5
2018 9 1 973 701 138.8
2017 8 2 948 708 133.8

Can't stand Geelong but the recent match ups say that even when we're in good form and a stronger team they still push us hard.
They were much closer than I'd prefer in both our match ups last year (probably should have won the second), and they belted us earlier this year.
Yes, I'm aware of the ins/outs compared to that match and the form line. But I still maintain they always match up well against us.
This is not a cakewalk. They will be hungry to make amends for 2017. If we rest on our laurels like we did last year we will lose.
-
You're right dougey, it's not going to be easy. No Prelim is. However, if we rest on our laurels and don't come out breathing fire after last year's Prelim stuff up and Scott mouthing off about how we're a worse side than last year then we deserve to lose. Eat 'em alive, Tiges! :gotigers

Love the fact we havent responded. Hardwick is stoking the fires internally. I think we'll win.

'I love the way he goes about it': Hardwick responds to Scott comments
AFL.com.au

Sep 19, 2019 11:42AM
RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick says the Tigers are better placed and better prepared for this year's preliminary final after last year's shock loss to Collingwood.
Geelong coach Chris Scott, whose side will face Richmond on Friday night, said this week the Tigers were a better team in 2018 than this season.
But Hardwick said the Tigers, who bombed out of last year's premiership race against the Magpies after a dominant season, will hit the preliminary final in strong shape.
"I think we're certainly better prepared," he said on Thursday.
"I feel we've grown as a side, there's no doubt about that. I feel we're better placed. Once again we give ourselves another opportunity to win.
Our players are really hungry, we've got a really good we're coming up against on Friday night and it's going to be a hell of a contest.
Hardwick said the Tigers hadn't spoken about last year's missed shot at the Grand Final in the lead-up to this week's clash with the Cats, nor would they be using Scott's comments as ammunition.
"Chris is very good at giving you an insight without giving you an insight, I reckon. I love the way he goes about it, I love that football club really," he said.
"They're something we admire to be – they've been incredible performer over a long period of time. That's something our football club is starting to get an understanding of and to create that long-term success."

I guess Chris will find out tonight how good we are and he can write some more irrelevant drivel.
Should be a great match.

Thank stuff we didn't play them last year.
I hear they were a better team then.
We'll never hear the end of it from their for fans for years, especially if they win next week. Scott has made us a laughing stock with his arrogance and whining.
Our full back plays on the wing, gets 10 possessions, while their full forward has 19 possessions, 8 marks and kicks 5 goals in a 19 point win.
Mind boggling decision by Chris Scott.
Chris Scott is the worst game day coach I have ever seen. He does nothing, blind Freddy could see Taylor on Lynch wasn’t working, he did nothing. Blitz completely ineffective on the wing, stuff it, just leave him there. Danger having a mare of a second half ow well let’s try nothing to get home into the game.
The Tigers adjusted at half time and Scott has no answers when plan A stops working.
-
What did he say? Long trip home...
That he wasn't in an emotional state to publicly explain why they lost.
That they should have been further in front at half time. He said they took their chances in round 12 and were 10-12 goals in front which is a buffer you need against Richmond. Once we get momentum we are hard to stop.
That they didn't do certain things he wouldn't elaborate on in the 3rd quarter. Allowed us in.
He snapped at the journo who asked Scott if he agrees with Dimma that sides should receive more praise from the media for making the top 4 - "Are you one of those who don't?"

Chris Scott, you were wrong
Geelong coach Chris Scott engaged in some mind games in the lead up to the clash by declaring the Tigers weren't as good as they were last year despite winning their previous 10 games. If the Tigers aren't better, then they are certainly hungrier, which they demonstrated emphatically in the second half after clawing back from a 21-point deficit at half-time. The dim prospect of losing a second successive preliminary final after being hot favourites on both occasions just wasn't an option for Damien Hardwick's driven team as it seeks redemption for its 2018 failure. The Tigers will take on the winner of Saturday’s twilight preliminary final between Collingwood and Greater Western Sydney and will enter the game as the favoured team. Meanwhile, since Scott guided the Cats to the 2011 premiership they have won just four of their past 15 finals.

It was great being at G. Not going to lie my blood pressure was through the roof at half time but we’ve shown we can peg back an oppositions lead and take hits and get games back on our terms this year. So when we were only 3 goals down I felt we were a good chance to come back hard. I didn’t think we’d kick 5 goals in the quarter though!!!!

The only combination given the total votes above (link in Geelong game thread). Lynch got one of the '5-vote' so Kelly had to get the other '5-vote'. The rest follows. I can't see Dimma not giving Lynch the 5 votes given what he said about Tom in the post-match presser. Scott also has history in not crediting opposition forwards who kick a bag against Geelong. He dismissed Charlie Cameron and his 5 goals after they played and lost to Brisbane.

Lucky Richmond weren't as good as last year, Scotty :stupid.
Might have won the Granny by 20 goals instead of 'only' 15 :snidegrin.

“They’re not Hawthorn”: Chris Scott’s latest dig at Richmond
By SEN
14 March 2020
Geelong coach Chris Scott believes Richmond’s recent success doesn’t compare to other dominant sides of previous eras.
The Tigers won premierships in 2017 and 2019 – beating Scott’s Cats in last year’s preliminary final - and are favourites to make it a third flag in four years in 2020.
But speaking on Damian Barrett’s In The Game podcast, Scott stoked the fire by saying Hawthorn's trophy-laden years are superior to Richmond's.
The Hawks shocked Geelong in the 2008 Grand Final before winning a three-peat of premierships in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
“We’re really clear, and have been for a long time, on what our deficiencies are. Every team in the comp has deficiencies,” Scott said.
“We’re in an era where Richmond are a really good team and I think West Coast are going to be really strong, Collingwood (also).
“But with the greatest respect to them (Richmond), they’re not Hawthorn in the multiple premiership years in a row, I don’t think.
“I don’t think they’re Geelong, St Kilda or Collingwood through that sort of 2009/10 period either.
“I think it’s a lot more even than that. Everyone has their deficiencies.”
Geelong and Richmond clash in a Friday night blockbuster in Round 9 at the MCG.

That was the clincher that he is just jealous and bitter.
St Kilda under Lyon had to choke games against top sides and turn them into a grind to try and win them. It worked at Docklands (their home ground) but at the MCG their scoring ability was terrible (except for the rare time they beat up on a bottom side).

Worry about your own side Scotty and enjoy another year being short of the mark against the top sides like tonight.
-
Scotty post-game said there shouldn't be any bickering these days :rollin.
-
The part about not being the saints or pies lol lost me :sleep.
yeah me too but there is a strong case for Hawks and Geelong. Thing is we dont know how long we may stay in the window for.
I dont have a problem saying geelong 2007 - 2012 was a more skilled side and ran a bit deeper with quality and winning three in a row has been done how many times the hawks from 08 - 15 made five g/f's if we make 5 maybe we can then argue the point.

Scott's Tigers drive-by may come back to bite Cats, warns Watson
A comment made in March may have given Richmond some extra ammunition in the Grand Final
afl.com.au
19 October 2020
ESSENDON great Tim Watson believes Chris Scott may have inadvertently given Damien Hardwick and his mighty Richmond team some extra motivation for the 2020 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
Scott spoke to AFL.com.au's chief football writer Damian Barrett in March this year, and ranked the Tigers, and the dynasty they are creating, below several other great teams of the past 20 years, including St Kilda.
"Every team in the competition has deficiencies and I don't think we're in [a dynasty] era ... Richmond are a really good team and I think West Coast is going to be really strong this year, but with the greatest respect to (Richmond), they're not Hawthorn in their multiple-premierships-in-a-row (years)," Scott told In the Game.
"I don't think they're Geelong or St Kilda or Collingwood through that 2009-2010 period. I think it's a lot more even than that."
Speaking on SEN radio station, Watson asked respected commentator Garry Lyon for his views on the Scott's comments from March.
"Do you think he paid Richmond the respect they deserve even in March? Or do you reckon that was about right earlier this year?" Watson wondered.
Lyon said: "They had two premierships in the bag … he changed his tune last Saturday night. He called them a great team. Now they have a chance to become an all-time great team."
Watson said: "If you were Damien Hardwick, would you use that?"
Watson: "You would have to, wouldn't you?"
Lyon: "You'd probably just have it in the background."
Watson: "It's not the most important thing in the lead up to this game in terms if your planning or your preparation, but you would just throw it out there for some sort of emotional charge for the players to maybe remember deep in the final quarter."

Geelong premiership player Tom Lonergan has declared his fomer coach Chris Scott as “clearly” the best in the competition.
The for and against case in terms of Scott has seen plenty of debate, with his supporters pointing to his home and away win percentage of over 72 per cent, greater than any current or former coach in the game.
However, the argument against the 46-year-old is just as clear. He's claimed just one premiership in his time at the helm despite missing just one finals series since 2011.
Lonergan, who played seven seasons under Scott from 2011-2017, is firmly in the first category.
“Clearly, Chris Scott, he’s the best coach in the game, he has to be,” Lonergan told SEN Mornings.
“I know Geelong supporters sometimes get a bit upset the fact we haven’t quite got it done at the pointy end, but to be able to put the team in the position every year to compete for a premiership - and they’ll do it again this year, they’ll be a top four team no doubt - you’ve got to give a lot of credit to Chris and the way he constantly evolves the team.

H/A form means nothing if you continually flop in September. Only premierships count.

Coz it means SFA if you don't bring the cup home later haha.

I'd say MacRae and Leppa are influenced by Richmond - not the other way around.
Classic Chris Scott.

As much as I can’t stand him, I can’t stand the pies more.
Hope they flog them.

Chris Scott in his post-match presser sooked about how last night's game should've been the season opener, as well as complaining about the MCG surface.
------------------------
Chris Scott has put the MCG surface on the agenda, suggesting the variability in hardness is an issue, and strongly hinted the ground should not have hosted a major concert so close to the season. @7afl

He tries to have it both ways too. He'll preface his complaint with the old, "it wouldn't be right to complain about this, particularly after losing, but ..."
He wants to feel superior on the one hand for not complaining but then also get out his complaint.
In the end it just makes him look like a sour idiot.
-
I agree re: the concert.
Far too close to the AFL season IMO.
-
As a pure spectacle then yes the game last night would have been much better choice for the 1st game of the season
Our games was saved by it being close. But as a spectacle it was painful to watch for a lot of it. The defence side which I actually love was brilliant but the atrocious skill errors made it bloody tough to watch
A total of 16 goals isn't great footy

Here's the vision of it.

Geelong coach Scott calls AFL 'compromised' competition

You walked away with pick 7 from a dodgy salary dump trade.
You got 1st round compo for Steven Motlop.
You have a pronounced home ground advantage unavailable to any other Victorian club.
Compromised? You bet! And your club does pretty well out of it...

In fairness to Chris Scott he was asked about the wildcard games to decide 7th and 8th on the ladder
He is against it and as part of explaining why he referred to the competition being compromised highlighting how the draw works as well as a few other things
And on that and the wildcard round for finals he is 100% correct
He wasn't sooking he was simply giving his opinion on the wildcard concept
Poor form by the media for making it more than it was. And the person who posted that tweet, would suggest he actually listen to all that was said ::)
