'Never Said We're Perfect': Coach Talks Cats' Culture
Scott says Geelong is supporting Jake Kolodjashnij as the AFL investigates a secret concussion agreement that was not lodged with the league.
- Geelong coach Chris Scott remains tight-lipped regarding the ongoing AFL investigation into a secret concussion waiver involving defender Jake Kolodjashnij, refusing to detail why the 31-year-old was ruled out this weekend.
- Following an "amber" ruling from the concussion panel in 2024, Geelong drafted a private agreement that AFL chairman Craig Drummond described as a "waiver," but the club failed to lodge it with the AFL.
- Geelong maintains the clause was an "acknowledgment of risk," while Scott stated he would like to offer an "impassioned defence" of club staff but is withholding comment during the investigation.
- After receiving a belated "please explain" regarding their handling of the deal, Geelong faces a nervous wait while the AFL's independent legal counsel reviews the case.
- Kolodjashnij, whose twin brother Kade retired due to concussion, faces an uncertain career future as the 31-year-old manages ongoing injury risks while managed out of the team.
