Chris Scott

You know, the storylines with Jeremy Cameron I think are so fascinating.

Chris Scott's got this team humming again at the right time of the year.

Um, just looking forward to a great game of footy.

Yeah.

They didn't fire a shot, so what else happens? So they probably wouldn't expect those three are gonna be dominating again.

But I think, I look for...

Chris Scott is such a tactical coach.

Yeah.

They turned up the club.

Chris Scott.

They, they had the youth below it.

So it was actually exciting times.

Uh, stopping Luke Jackson, uh, for the Cats or getting Luke Jackson on the loose if you're Freo.

And saw some shots down in the change rooms, Chris Scott giving some final directions to Mark Blicavs and Mitch Edwards.

And, uh, Lloydy, I know you've spoken about this, the way the Cats handle opposition's big guys and rucks, and y- you've shown great footage, uh, of how Geelong have handled Max Gawn.

And it seems like Edwards take the center bounce.

Gotta give a lot of credit to Geelong, because they just keep coming at ya.

Chris Scott-coached sides do that.

But the good news for Fremantle is they had to win that game four or five times over.

I think it'll give them a hell of a lot of confidence.

Go back to your normal routine, head to Sydney, and play.

And they'll be really confident now because they're into a prelim final, and they'll feel like this is where they belong.

And Chris Scott, any comment to make on the Ollie Dempsey goal that wasn't? They were, they were ripped off there.

No.

... surely something happens there.

But you know what happened in the last time they were here? Chris Scott was actually very strange.

It was like he wasn't concerned about how the game was going.

He-

Yeah.

Yeah.

[laughs] And that's what Chris Scott looked like.

He couldn't give a continental.

Fremantle in good stead.

Chris Scott will be getting early, getting early and get scores on the board early, put pressure on them.

Make them think, oh, here we go again.

Silence this crowd.

Great start to the second quarter.

Not what the Cats wanted.

Strong messaging you can see from Chris Scott to his playing group at quarter time.

Jackson up.

He's going to be pretty good, by the way, at 20 years of age.

But I would think that Chris Scott and his match committee would have spent a bit of time just through some scenario planning.

If Jackson's getting on top here, what are we doing? How can we assist Mitch in making sure that Luke's not the dominant player on the ground.

But it's a weapon and an opportunity for Fremantle with Luke

And that would have been the message that would have been relayed through to the troops, I reckon, Tom.

What about the Cats, Kenny, and the strategic side of things? O'Sheen Mullen is one of their great strengths.

Who do you send him to tonight if you're Chris Scott?

Oh, look, it's, you know, the team that they're playing against, you could pick three or four.

You know, the storylines with Jeremy Cameron, I think, are so fascinating.

Chris Scott's got this team humming again at the right time of the year.

Just looking forward to a great game of footy.

Yeah, you wonder, of course, the pressure of Friot also is heightened by the at-home finals loss against the Gold Coast Suns last year.

They didn't fire a shot.

So what else happens? So they probably wouldn't expect those three going to be dominated again.

But I think, I look forward, Chris Scott is such a tactical coach.

That's the other aspect that I want to see how they handle that tonight, the Fremantle Dockers.

They had so many stars on the field and they were coming with a real system and a plan which they executed to perfection.

And equally, Geelong, very, very seasoned team, I should say, and very well coached, of course, Chris Scott, one of the best coaches to ever do it.

So they're coming with a system and a plan, and they're going to try and execute their plan tonight.

But I just have that sense that Fremantle, with so much on the line, with so much at stake, and just trying to, I guess, build on what they've demonstrated thus far in the season, that they can play a really powerful brand that can beat anyone.
