CibbuanoScott rules out Gold Coast move
July 25th 2008 02:31
FREMANTLE assistant coach Chris Scott says he won't be taking a development coaching role with the Gold Coast franchise.
"Yes I have (ruled myself out)," Scott said.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for the right person but in my view I am nine months into my coaching career and to put my name forward for that position would be the wrong thing to do.
"I am very committed to Fremantle and we have a long term plan that I'm keen to stay a part of."
Scott also declared impressive young midfielder Rhys Palmer a certain starter for Sunday's clash against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.
Palmer missed last Sunday's 46-point win over Melbourne at Subiaco Oval and it had been flagged by coach Mark Harvey that Palmer could require season-ending knee surgery.
But the 19-year-old will play against the Power after getting through two training sessions this week.
"With the problem he's got it is questionable whether or not he needs surgery," Scott said.
"It's a possibility, but we will just manage him and it makes his first season even more remarkable given that he has done it with this problem. Our medical staff made the call that he's right to go and we will back them in."
