    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
