In a brief fictional statement released on his behalf, Scott explained that the decision came after “a long period of reflection” and was made with mutual respect.

Sources close to the situation claim the separation was driven not by scandal or conflict, but by the intense demands of elite coaching, long hours, and the relentless pressure that comes with life in the AFL spotlight.
Impact on the Club
While club officials stressed that the matter is entirely personal, supporters have expressed concern about how the emotional toll could affect Geelong’s season. Senior players are reportedly rallying around their coach, with leadership figures emphasizing unity and support during what they describe as “a challenging time.”
Club insiders insist Scott remains fully committed to the Cats’ campaign, with training and match preparations continuing as normal.
Fans React
Social media has been flooded with messages of support, sympathy, and surprise, as fans come to terms with the news. Many praised Scott for addressing the situation with dignity, while others called for greater respect for the private lives of those in the public eye.
Looking Ahead
As the Geelong Cats prepare for the challenges ahead, this unexpected off-field development serves as a reminder that even the strongest figures in sport face personal struggles beyond the siren.
