In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the AFL world and the Geelong community, rumours have emerged online suggesting
Geelong Cats senior coach Chris Scott has formally filed for divorce from his wife, Sarah Scott. According to posts circulating on social media, early indications point to ongoing enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the separation. (Facebook)
Social Media Erupts with Claims
The unverified posts — shared widely on Facebook groups and chat forums — allege that the long-time AFL mentor has initiated proceedings to end his marriage to Sarah, his partner of many years. The commentary suggests that “investigations indicate” there may be more to the story, though specifics have not been provided and no reputable news outlet has published further details. (Facebook)
Who Are Chris and Sarah Scott?
Chris Scott, 49, has been at the helm of the Geelong Cats since 2011, crafting one of the most consistent coaching records in modern AFL history. He has guided the Cats to two premierships (2011 and 2022) and remains one of the sport’s most respected strategists. (Wikipedia)
His wife, Sarah Scott, is a qualified nurse and successful small-business owner. Together, they have been prominent supporters of community initiatives in Geelong and often appeared at major AFL events, including red carpet appearances at the Brownlow Medal in recent years. (RealEstate)
No Official Confirmation Yet
Despite the social media posts, there is no confirmation from the Geelong Football Club, Chris Scott, or any mainstream media outlets regarding a divorce filing or related investigation. The club has not released a statement, and respected news organizations have not corroborated the online claims.
It’s also worth noting that false news and rumours often spread rapidly on social platforms, especially when they involve high-profile figures in sport. Journalists and media professionals typically rely on verified sources, court records, and direct statements before publishing reports about personal matters such as divorce or legal inquiries.

Conclusion: Rumour vs. Verified Reality
At this stage, the claims of a divorce filing remain unverified rumours circulating on social media. There are no credible reports from established news outlets confirming that Chris Scott has officially filed for divorce, nor that any official investigation is underway relating to such a matter.
If and when verified information becomes available — for example an official statement from Chris Scott, his representatives, or a reputable media source — it is likely to be widely reported by major sports and news organizations.
