There are several decisions to be made which will set the underlying mantra for the next five years. Scott is contracted until the end of 2022. Do he and the Cats want that partnership to continue? If so,does that mean they are still all in on immediate success?Or is he open to a chat with the Blues,who say they will make that call.
And if Scott stays,is the game plan open for change? The Demons’ intense pressure and run meant the Cats’ controlled,high-possession game,particularly in the back half,crumbled for they were not given space or time to set up. Is it time for a more chaotic style? A lack of accountability at stoppages (the Demons scored 101 points from this) was also puzzling. And then there is their poor record in qualifying finals and an overall inability to heavily score in September.
