    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

    5 - Lever

    Scott
    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
