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??


Just when you thought this blowhard couldn't get any more insufferable - he ups the anti to a whole new level

Meme Aww GIF by MOODMAN

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

When do we play the Cats? 

Hope we absolutely bury them.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
