    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).

    They should just save time for the next one and give Max the votes now.

    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

    5 - Lever

    5 - Holmes
    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
