‘Had a couple of drinks’ Raw & emotional Scott opens up on gruelling journey to GF glory | Fox Footy

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

This coach in my opinion has changed my opinion on what a A Grade successful coach is. I until now thought it was about how many premierships a coach wins. I thought great coaches must win four premierships to be a supercoach. I now consider him a supercoach with 2 premierships because he stayed up near the top for nearly ten years and then won his second without early draft picks . He's a star. I'm a tiger supporter.

[@imalwaysright]

I could listen to Chris talk for hours

[@terrythekittieful]

After coaching, he'll be hugely in demand as a speaker on the sporting night circuit. Great speaker.

[@adamjonschippers]

Goodness me he's a ripper

[@teejayhaych149]

I could too. He is so measured and thoughtful with what he says.

[@WalrusKing1976]

absolute ripper isn't he

[@drcrun3288]

The footage of Scottie after the win the the rooms alone not knowing he is being filmed is such an amazing moment. Really shows the human behind all the talk and what we see on TV. Can't imagine what he must of felt in that moment.

[@darrenjpeters]

Not a Geelong or Brisbane fan, but I have a lot of admiration for this guy, both for the way he played, his obvious coaching ability, and especially the way he carries himself in interviews. Top class. No surprise to me that Geelong won the flag, they were the best organised team Carlton played all year. I didn't expect it to be a bloodbath though.

[@kalebarancelovic]

If the media had their way, Hardwick and Goodwin wouldn't be premiership coaches and Scott would have been shown the door after last year's prelim agaist Melbourne in Perth.

[@mattnovacevski808]

Champion human and champion coach who teaches us all through actions and words. His care, his intelligence, humility, heart and service are an example to all. So happy for Chris and deeply grateful for his contributions to the Geelong Cats + wider community. I don’t doubt I’ll watch this beautiful interview over again!

[@Donna-C]

Thank you for everything over the past 11 years Scotty. 👏 This one is so special! 🔵 ⚪️ 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Great interview. Love the post season honesty. Such heart in this great man!

[@tonydoran5147]

You're a star Scottie, congrats on a brilliant year!! GO CATS for 23!!

[@imalwaysright]

I hope Geelong do it al again next year One more Joel 🗣🗣🗣

[@godamid4889]

With a few more young blokes improving I could easily see the club managing the work load for the old blokes even more. Will depend on their desire, of course.

[@imalwaysright]

@@godamid4889 yeah. It's for no one to tell them what to do. Going out now on a high would be awesome too. Perfect finish.

[@tinamardt7734]

I really hope he leaves on his terms. Happy for him if chooses to go on a high but such a great contributor to the team so love to see it continue

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

I would like to see Joel play on for one more season too. There is one thing that he hasn't yet achieved in his great career that I'm sure that he would love to achieve, and that is winning back to back premierships. It would be the perfect way for him to finish his career. Geelong can and will go back to back in 2023.

[@imalwaysright]

@@darrenmiles-morland8038 It would have been awesome to see him go again but he's ready to move on. 16 years in the AFL and he's only missed 30 something games.

[@robbjob1725]

A great player, coach and above all communicator.

[@ozzymick1431]

Eloquently said, Scotty! Congratulations! As a Lions supporter, I also enjoyed your slightly different persona when you played without fear or favour with the mighty triple premiership Lions. Can we expect a repeat from you as the coach of a great side?

[@chemistryset1]

always been an articulate communicator, no wonder he is a successful coach.

Robbo and Whately are the only two journalists working listening regarding Australian Rules Football. Both professionals who know football and get to the core of the matter. Bradshaw and Billy are good to listening for comic relief and the rest are hacks that I no longer tune into because they are wasting everybody's time.

Billy overstays his welcome

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

@@imalwaysright Max Holmes must have felt that way too when Billy wouldn't leave him be at Sunday morning's players' victory celebrations while doing his usual Sunday Footy Show antics. It was poor form from Billy. Max was trying his best to put on a brave face, but his inner most feelings would have been of utter devastation about the timing of his injury.

Is Chris Scott growing some sort of bull or yak on his chin?

[@christophercummins5321]

UEFA just fined 8 big clubs for breaching Financial fair play regulations. Truth will come out one day. There’s no way all those star Geelong players are willingly taking pay cuts in order to let other star players come to the club and earn more money than them. Under the table dealings for sure.

[@user-dj2xn]

Delusional comment lol

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

A guinea pig displays more maturity than what you do with your imbecilic comment. Why don't you just admit it that you can't stand Geelong being the greatest team of the modern era? Geelong are a destination club with a great culture, are a very professionally run organisation, and will continue to dominate the competition for many more years to come.
