    On the assumption that Scott has (and does) show this type of bias, it is very disappointing.

    Think whatever you want of how he presents publically, he is one of the most influential people on modern AFL through his tactical approach to coaching at AFL level. It tarnishes what should be a great reputation.

    I think Oliver returning to form on Saturday will help Petracca.  He’s been struggling with 100% attention whilst Oliver’s been injured.  
     

    My thinking exactly. WHen Oliver gets to his elite self, he will attract a tag, that will free up Petracca.

    The one dis on Trac is his defensive game. He needs a more defensive presence, which can be then used to work the tag to our advantage. He needs to improve this.

    Scott - nepotism at its most flagrant.

    Scott is a tool. He lost but likely gave his players 5 vote and 4 vote outcomes.  Coaches votes are a joke.

    Salty Chris Scott is one of the main reasons I enjoy beating the Cats. 

    He thinks his players were off but also thinks his players were the best on the ground. Make up your mind Chris! 

    He takes losses worse than some Demonlanders and it's glorious to watch. 

    (I know, I know, we don't know for sure how he voted. But I think it's a pretty safe bet).

    But how do you know who Scott voted for?  He could have given Lever five votes for all we know.

    There is not a snowflakes chance in hell that Goodwin gave 5 votes for Holmes.

    Scott is a great coach, was a better than average footballer, not a bad bloke in person.

    ...but the whining in his press conferences and disrespect to opponents is not doing him any favours.

    I thought Holmes was best on. Lever was great but O.Henry did get away for 3 goals.

    Holmes, Lever, May then

    4 - Guthrie
    3 - May
    2 - Gawn
    1 - Petty

     

    There's a few other way to get the same outcome, which sees Goody give May 1 vote instead of Gawn and a bit of shuffling from Scott. But the bottom line is how Scott didn't find room on his votes for Hawkins, Cameron, Danger and Rohan. 

    Well, Danger did not play so don't see how he could have given him a vote..  Ahhh sorry, you are correct... We are speaking about Scott ... that makes sense ( or no sense in his mind).

    I've thought Scott was a bit of a you-know-what for a while, but the Pettiness to rate his players as bog in this game rather than just suck up the fact that he lost is pretty damning.

    Who gave what to whoever is of course debatable.  But your reasoning seems ok.

    only way for Holmes to get 8. Is to get a 5 and 3.

    petts got 1 vote Max and May shuffled

    3 and 0.    And 2 and 1 .    No other way.  That leaves Kossy 4 and 0

    Lever 5 and 0

    and Guthrie on the 4 and missing 2

    What a lot of fun. 
    it does highlight the difference in the coaches   That Lever  and Kossy were not considered a threat by one coach but we’re by the other. At least Guthrie and Holmes got votes from both. There is no guarantee that Scott gave his boys 4 and 5. 
     Go Dee’s. I do hope we have planned to come out hard against the blue baggers. 
     

    their last minute win last year gave me the shirts.   Quiet all day then we panic and kick it to them twice in the last minute or so  and they think they were champions.

    Right in front of me as well.

    It beggars belief that Lever didn't get 10 votes imo. I thought he was clearly the best and most influential player on the ground on the night. I guess one of the reasons he was so influential was that Scott didn't rate his game as worth trying to curtail.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
