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.

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

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

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
