The two-time premiership coach was concise when asked on the three-quarter time incident, before recommending a change for people in his position going forward at the iconic venue.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo (words), except to say I didn\u2019t have any words with any fans. I spoke to security. You\u2019re reading way too much into that.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course they do (have words to say), they\u2019re nuffies! But that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is one of the best stadiums in the world, I love it. (But) it\u2019s an oversight that the coaches should have to walk through the crowd. I don\u2019t want to do it at any ground.\u201d<\/p>\n
While evidently disappointed with his side\u2019s loss away from home, Scott didn\u2019t feel the defining moments came late, and instead more so with missed opportunities earlier on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it was won or lost in the last few minutes. We had our chances to win it, and we were a little bit disappointed with our execution late,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was quite impressive really to give ourselves a chance to win the game. It\u2019s disappointing, because for the majority of the game we felt we were in it, but certainly in a lot of key areas we were well on top and weren\u2019t able to capitalise.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had some positives. I don\u2019t know if this is the right way to think about it, but a way \ufeffto think about it is: \u2018Losing to the Crows at the Adelaide Oval isn\u2019t a game lost to the competition\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost teams are going to struggle in that game. In a way, it would have been a game won to the rest of the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Crow and Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield was phenomenal in the first half, particularly before quarter time with 12 disposals, 10 contested possessions and a goal.<\/p>\n
It saw him start the match at the very first centre ball-up, in a rare sight this year given the 36-year-old\u2019s management of injuries leading into Round 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cDangerfield was as good as he\u2019s been all year and looking more like himself … This is something that wasn\u2019t really available five or six weeks ago, and we feel like we\u2019ve been building towards it a little bit more,\u201d Scott revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a matter of setting out a macro plan and sticking to it no matter what. He\u2019s going to have some ebbs and flows … but he definitely showed he\u2019s still got it, didn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe basically missed 10 weeks of training; or certainly playing. He actually had a pretty good pre-season, but was then interrupted for a long period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris Scott added on his captain\u2019s teammates: \u201cThat\u2019s as well as I\u2019ve seen De Koning play through the middle. We brought a couple of guys in who had been playing well at the lower levels, they played well (Jack) Bowes and (Oli) Wiltshire.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe weren\u2019t quite good enough to get it done against a good team … we feel like the game was there for us to win, and we didn\u2019t quite grab it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Geelong face a tough pair of matches ahead of their Round 16 bye, taking on Gold Coast next Friday night before a six-day turnaround and trip west to face ladder leaders Fremantle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Geelong coach Chris Scott believes it is an \u201coversight\u201d from the AFL to have coaches walking among supporters…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[9126,638,64,63,689,55,639,309494,12923,347110,106375,2485,347109,163590,12094,347112,54908,677,39209,347111,668,701,32913,85,14379,347113,13155,85776],"class_list":["post-714965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-adelaide-crows","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-centre-ball-up","tag-chris-scott","tag-crowd-interaction","tag-defining-moments","tag-gold-coast","tag-heated-fan-interaction","tag-instant-classic","tag-ladder-leaders","tag-macro-plan","tag-mid-season-bye","tag-oceania","tag-patrick-dangerfield","tag-point-victory","tag-press-conference","tag-queensland","tag-receiving-end","tag-sports","tag-three-quarter-time","tag-three-quarter-time-incident","tag-thrilling-one-point-loss","tag-two-time-premiership-coach"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=714965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
