I think so.

And he's contracted for the end of 2027, Brad Scott.

So that immediate pressure has gone.

When you look at the Carlton Footy Club and Essendon, Daisy, I think they're the two clubs in the gun.

Carlton, back on Thursday night, they weren't embarrassed against the Crows.

So all the pressure then moves to the Essendon Footy Club.

And I think, as you mentioned, it is a real pressure release for that footy club.

And Brad Scott can just come back now, sit back and smell the roses a little bit.

And you look at some of those youngsters...

You know, you look at halfback, Jacob Farrow's shown a few glimpses, Archie Roberts, as I mentioned, Nate Caddy.

So all of a sudden we go from talking down in this footy club to thinking, where are the green shoots, to thinking, well, maybe there are a few, you know, a few positive, you know.

know, things on the horizon for this club.

The pressure, though, it's rightfully coming because when you see that from what they've dished up in the first couple of weeks, that isn't the...

He's in at the level.

So when people go, oh, geez, you're being harsh on the bowlers, it's not because that's what you expect as a minimum from a league side.

And a little bit the same with Carlton.

When you're non-competitive versus what you put out for four quarters, you get beat by a better opposition on Thursday night.

You can cop that as a fan.

You can cop that as someone who has to cast an eye over the game.
