The Scott twins – two of the AFL’s most high-profile critics – flanked league chief executive Andrew Dillon as they arrived for a coaches’ dinner in Melbourne.
Essendon coach Brad Scott and Geelong sibling Chris walked into an inner-city Melbourne pub on Monday night either side of the AFL boss.
Given the commentary over the last few weeks, it made for eye-catching TV news vision.
The Scotts have been fierce in their commentary over issues such as the coaching soft cap and match review decisions.
It is understood that North Melbourne’s Alastair Clarkson and Melbourne’s Simon Goodwin were also at the dinner, which was a series of catch-ups that Dillon is having with the 18 senior coaches.
“It’s good to be here with the coaches, to talk through all things footy – a bit of soft cap, we’ll talk about the MRO and see what’s on the coaches’ minds,’ Dillon told the Seven Network.
“It’s great to sit down, talk, face-to-face. get a really good insight into what’s going on in the coaches’ minds.
“I’m sure there will be plenty of robust discussion.”
Dillon also spoke about the possibility of the AFL having a mental health round in the wake of the Selwood family’s latest tragedy.
West Coast premiership player Adam Selwood died on Saturday, just three months after his twin brother and fellow former player Troy also died.
“What we want to do is focus on making sure that all of our players – our past players, current players and future players – just have all the tools and the access to everything they need to make sure they’re okay,” Dillon said.
“How that plays out, that’s something we’ll take advice on from the experts.”
