“I’m not a great Chris Scott fan”: former Cats captain

Former Geelong captain Mark Bairstow has revealed on SEN he doesn't like Geelong's direction under Chris Scott.

In nine seasons under Scott, Geelong has made the finals on eight occasions, including the last four straight. However, the Cats have lost nine of their past 12 finals.

Bairstow believes Geelong are too one-dimensional.

“I’m not a great Chris Scott fan,” he said on SEN Track.

“It’s easy sitting on the lounge to make comment but they just seem to be (doing) the same things all the time.

“They’ve only got one forward, they don’t seem to mix it up enough for me.”

Ex-Cat Liam Pickering suggested that there are a few other former Geelong players who also aren't fans of Scott.

“I think there’s a few of you in the same boat. I’ve noticed it the more we get talking about it with the ex-boys, there seems to be a few of them with that opinion on the coach,” he said.

“Personally, I haven’t noticed it enough, but maybe I’m not watching closely enough. But there’s a few of the ex-players in the same boat.”
