Having Scotland's opponent roam free through the middle isn't to our advantage.

Agreed....accountability isn't his strong suit.
Plus hitting targets isn't one of his strengths either.
But yes he is tough and reads the play well.

is he unhappy?

ffs, he is a senior player on our list, if he cant be professional enough to get fit and give 100% becuase he doesnt like the coach.

he can @#$%&! off and take stevens with him.

sometimes im amazed at the excuses people make for players.

but the positive out of this ... is i think we know who melvey's source is. making alot of excuses for scotland there melvey ;)

Everytime Scotland did something wrong on Friday night, I certainly heard about it from the filth supporters -> "you collingwood reject". And it occurred a lot on Friday ...

Having said that he racked up 32 disposals with 84% efficiency against the Pies. 3 Clangers though

Scotto might be slowing down unfortunately and I'm sure injury and age are contributing to that.

These days everyone on the field must be accountable so if he, like Stevo, aren't accountable then they need to be moved on at seasons end.

Not moving people on when they should be moved on has slowed our recovery over the last decade, IMO.

..have always been a fan, and over the years been mildly surprised at how under-rated he has been.. ..but fri night, it seemed like he was struggling.. ..obviously carrying niggles which are effecting him, plus sweet FA of a pre-season and also being in and out of the seniors is taking it's toll.. ..am hopin' it's just an oof type of season for him, and not a sign of whats to come.. [at least, not so soon]

Have been a fan. Have felt he's been underrated even amongst our own. Has his flaws but definately adds value at his best.

However boo flower hoo if he's unhappy. Be professional and rise above or get the @#$%&! out. It's a simple as that for me. Same for Stevo if that's the case for him too.

Is definately in our bottom 6..... and adds nothing to our side. Maybe he's unhappy because he's not a top 4 player in a crap side.

Scotland is unhappy because he has been found out.

No one ever likes it when that happens.

He has been the turnover king for the last few years, roaming around across half back, his immediate opponent has usually kicked a bag, he gets tons on the rebound and turns plenty of it over.

Enough is enough, retirement looms.

Someone else made mention of it but its blindingly clear who the Melvster is getting his info from.

Anyhow, i thought you were doing everyone a favour Melvs. Obviously life away from here is even more depressing than the morbid thoughts that continuously dribble out of your head. Pity, you seriously need a positive in your life. Even the bombers couldn't do it for you this week.
