Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott - Extends contract to 2027 - 11/3

[DonsRule]

The Great Scotts presser is live

 

[faible]

I used to laugh at Norf with Brad Scott.... Mr I Only Have a Plan A!!!

Now I truly realise how far off we are, going to be at least 4 yrs before we're relevant.

At times we didn't look like we had a Plan A so that's a start

 

[Lore]

He still sounds like he's wearing his AFL hat

 

[Lore]

With a fair bit of "we" and "us" thrown in

 

[frodos gardener]

These pressers need to get a mic in the mouth of the journo asking the question. Can never barely hear them ffs

 

[Lore]

Fair few players came back from their break to meet him in person already. Some of them seem to possibly be in the room but the camera hasn't panned around

 

[Lore]

Didn't present a plan to the committee or tell anyone at the club about assistant coaches he was going to bring with him if he was appointed. Completely open mind about it,

Seems likely he'll keep the ones that want to stay?

 

[Mootsy]

It’s so comforting having a Scott brother as our coach, I don’t even know why.

I don’t mind Solomon if he’s brought over, have watched some of his old training videos from the suns days, he’s relentlessly good.

Would love if Caracella continues on as an assistant.

As for other assistants, good question, maybe Teague, Selwood, even frosty.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Both of them are calm (except when something goes against them in the coaches box lol), confident and clear in their thinking and articulate it well.

More articulate than the other bloke in this press conference

He doesn't really have a choice.

Most coaching staffs are set by now which makes poaching difficult, and the period for clubs to tell assistants they were no longer required was like a month ago so guys there currently aren't likely to be sacked.

Guys like Solomon or Joyce who aren't in the AFL system currently are really the only ones left to appoint if he wants.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Resetting for sustained long term success... Harley Reid come on down baby.

Also that I'm pretty sure our assistants are contracted and would have to be paid out. Was a response to a direct question he was asked though and I'm pretty sure some of the others had people in mind that they wanted to bring with them so it's interesting in that sense.

"4 year deal with options"

Scott apparently had a lot of missed calls from Tom Browne lol

 

[Lore]

Scott says he first he had to decide whether he even wanted to coach again, and then whether Essendon was a good fit. He wouldn't have taken up the invitation if he had been offered the job outright without a proper process.



Implicitly, perhaps he also had his own questions for the panel?

 

[Lore]

Presser over but mics still on.

Photo and vision opportunity after the press conference and then Brasher says to Scott 'good job'.

 

[ghostdog]

Yes. I'm all in. Welcome to Essendon, Brad.

 

[Chambo]

Seriously impressive...What a fantastic appointment, we are on the right track. Barham talking about leaks, now focusing on football and members has me excited. Also shows the difference between Lyon and Scott...Lyon wanted the position handed to him, Scott wanted to go through the process.

 

[DonsRule]

Handled the presser pretty well I think. Certainly sounds like he knows there is some work go do and not setting time frames for success. everything needs to build up.

 

[ghostdog]

Lol Tania

What happened with Tania?

I preferred where Scott said to Barham first "good job Dave".

Lyon leaked. Scott did not. Thete's caution in that for other clubs who might later consider Lyon.

With a fair bit of "we" and "us" thrown in

I noticed that too. When Kevin Sheedy first spoke to the team back in '81, he used the words "You have to" quite a lot, and Simon Madden walked up to him after it & said "It's not you, its we".
