The Geelong Cats and club CEO Steve Hocking have released a significant statement confirming that head coach Chris Scott has stepped away from his role with immediate effect.
In an announcement that has stunned the AFL community, the club revealed that Scottโs departure follows an internal matter currently under review. While specific details have not been disclosed, Geelong emphasized that the decision was made in line with club policies and governance standards.
CEO Steve Hocking addressed members and supporters in a brief statement:
โChris has made an enormous contribution to this football club over many years. At this time, we are handling an internal matter and believe it is in the best interests of all parties for him to step aside while this process is completed. We ask everyone to respect the privacy of those involved.โ
Chris Scott, who has guided the Cats through one of the most successful eras in club history, leaves behind a remarkable legacy that includes sustained finals appearances and a premiership triumph. His leadership has been central to Geelongโs culture of resilience and professionalism.
Players and staff were reportedly informed earlier today, with assistant coaches expected to oversee team operations in the interim. Club officials reassured members that preparations for upcoming fixtures will continue without disruption.
