Chris Scott believes AFL coaches should not be walking among the fans between quarters as they do at Adelaide Oval after being on the receiving end of unwanted interaction from Adelaide fans.
At three-quarter time, Scott rushed down to greet his players on the field in the tight contest, and was met with some words of wisdom from a Crows "nuffie".
Although the interaction wasn't necessarily noteworthy, despite the Geelong coach alerting security, he suggested coaches shouldn't be subject to walking through the crowd.
“No (words), except to say I didn't have any words with any fans. I spoke to security. You're reading way too much into that.
“Of course they do (have words to say), they're nuffies! But that's okay.
'I DON'T WANT TO DO IT AT ANY GROUND'

"This is one of the best stadiums in the world, I love it. (But) It's an oversight that the coaches should have to walk through the crowd. I don't want to do it at any ground."
Scott acknowledged the "pattern" creeping into the club's game.
For the second consecutive week, Geelong were unable to capitalise on dominance, succumbing to the pressure of Carlton before the Crows held off the visitors.
They won the disposal count, inside 50s, clearances, contested possession and had more shots on goal but didn't bring the heat, losing the tackles 88-62, one of many indicators of pressure.
"It was quite impressive, really, to give ourselves a chance to win the game," Scott said.
"For the majority of the game, we felt like we were in it, a lot of the key areas we were on top, but couldn't capitalise. That was a bit of a pattern."
