The AFL community has been sent into a frenzy following a stunning and unexpected development out of Geelong, with reports confirming that Geelong Cats current head coach Chris Scott has officially announced and submitted his resignation letter, bringing an end to one of the most successful coaching tenures in modern AFL history.

According to sources close to the club, the announcement was made internally just moments ago, leaving players, staff, and supporters in a state of disbelief. Scott, who has been at the helm for well over a decade, reportedly described the decision as “deeply personal” and one made after careful reflection on the future direction of the club.

But the shock did not end there.

In a twist that few saw coming, Geelong Cats legend Gary Ablett Jr — often called “The Greatest of All Time” — has officially returned to the club, taking on the role of new senior coach in what is already being described as one of the most dramatic moments in AFL history.

Ablett Jr’s return marks a full-circle moment for the club and its supporters. Widely regarded as one of the most naturally gifted footballers the game has ever seen, Ablett’s legacy at Geelong is unmatched. His leadership on the field, professionalism, and football intelligence have long fuelled speculation that a coaching role was inevitable — but few imagined it would come so suddenly or under such extraordinary circumstances.

Club insiders suggest that Ablett’s appointment was fast-tracked following Scott’s resignation, with the Geelong board unanimous in their belief that the club needed a figure who embodied the Cats’ culture, standards, and identity. Ablett’s deep connection to the club, combined with his calm demeanor and elite football mind, reportedly made him the standout choice.

Fans have flooded social media with emotional reactions, ranging from shock to pure excitement. Many are calling it “the dawn of a new era,” while others are still processing the sudden departure of Chris Scott, a coach who delivered sustained success, consistency, and premiership glory during his time in charge.

Players are said to be rallying behind Ablett, viewing his appointment as both inspirational and symbolic. Training schedules are expected to resume under his guidance in the coming days, with expectations already sky-high as supporters eagerly await his first address as senior coach.

While questions remain about Scott’s next move and what prompted his resignation at this particular moment, one thing is clear: the Geelong Cats have just rewritten the script of the AFL season.

As the dust begins to settle, all eyes will be on Kardinia Park to see how one of the game’s greatest ever players transitions into one of its most demanding leadership roles.
