    AFL players get Covid tested regularly and would have been tested prior to entry and just after arrival into WA where they were locked away in a hub. It was never going to be Covid. 
     

    All I hear from this club is whinging and crying. 

    Cool. Still missing my point that the OP is misleading with what the article actually says.

    Not bizarre at all. This whole interview is intended for the Geelong playing group. He's telling them not to be despondent because there's a good reason they got thumped. At the same time he's telling them that they were good enough to make the 2021 PF, not good enough to be 2021 Premiers but definitely good enough to win in 2022.

    It's not dissimilar to the strategy behind Goodwin saying that he never bothered to review the 2018 Preliminary Final.

     

    And that went well!

    But why say anything now publically?  I can only presume he is playing to the Cat supporters.

    Aged care residents during the height of COVID were more resilient than this mob.

    Not a comment that helps this post.

    Imagine  if someone you knew a friend or relative has passed on due  to Covid in an Aged Care home.

    Scott should have said ‘I’m surprised it wasn’t postponed as only one team actually turned up’….

    Suck on a savaloy Scott.

    I think this is likely it. Huge ructions amongst their supporter base about their game plan that wins on the mortadella shaped home ground, but doesn't stand up in finals.

    According to everyone's favourite non MFC coach.

    Geelong had too many players under an injury or illness cloud and thus the game should've been postponed until Geelong were fit and healthy.

    No excuses but flummoxed Scott still wonders why prelim went ahead

    What an absolute pathetic excuse. Game should not have gone ahead! Disgraceful whingefest

    Bizarre. Why give your players an out? What does that do for the psychology of the group?

    Yes and more.

    Cats supporters will rightly now be saying that scott hasn't learnt anything from their umpteenth finals failure. They will dodge reality of an ageing list. I would be concerned as a cats Board member.

    2021 repeat coming up.

    Or....it wasnt my fault.

    Jeremy Cameron was unwell according to Scott.   Looked very up and about to me when he kicked the first goal.

    Perhaps he was feeling a bit of Malaise.  Is there more than one Scotty from Marketing??

    Last two comments i agree with . Don't forget he is very much in the in crowd of TV Footy. Opinion valued on lots of issues

    Nothing wrong with working up the blood

    Interesting that the media might be changing a direction via Scott, under orders from AFL. Is that possible....

    Beat them 3 times and only really tried for a quarter in round 23.

    Understand the spin he is putting on for his playing group but an in form dees beats an in form cats team in 2021 and the playing group would know that

    Has a game ever been postponed because some players had a viral illness (excluding CoVid)? No. It’s called bad luck.

    Friday 8 July or Saturday 9 July.

    Obviously down at Geelong because where else would the reigning premier be fixtured against Geelong?

    I'd say its more the supporters, plenty of Cats supporters think he should've been gone a couple of years ago but I think he just got an extension last year.

    [censored] comment by Scott and [censored] journalism by Purple. When two garbage human beings come together, you get garbage.

    Obviously he is wrong...His time frame is up s.... creek

    From my observation the Geelong players seemed to have been struck by the said mystery virus some time in the 3rd Q of the final game down at Kardinia Park.

    It was out of control by the final Q.

    Horrible spin from Scott. He'll make a brilliant politician one day.

    I mean, I hate him as much as anyone and it's a pretty thinly veiled attempt at making excuses, but that's not what he said at all.

    He said, in hindsight, it could have been COVID as far as they knew and the AFL had a meeting about it.

    Let's not have a thread about misleading media reporting and then do the same thing ourselves.

     

    The way I'm reading it is a bunch of hypotheticals and lots of if a x b = x then y talk. Also questioning himself for not asking the question if it was COVID. 

    So I guess what I'm saying is had it have been COVID he would have been flummoxed if it wasn't postponed that it wasn't. But because it wasn't COVID then there's really nothing to even speculate about.

    So the headline should really be 'No excuses but hypothetically flummoxed Chris Scott would wonder why prelim went ahead'

    Haha yeah, it's some 'messy' at best commentary by someone whose job is all about communication.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
