In a stunning twist that sent Kardinia Park into shockwaves just minutes ago, Geelong Cats head coach Chris Scott has officially handed in his resignation letter to the club board.
The announcement, delivered behind closed doors early this afternoon, reportedly left players and staff “speechless” as one of the AFL’s longest-serving and most successful coaches prepared to step away.

But the surprises didn’t end there.

Sources inside the club—who appeared just as baffled as everyone else—confirmed that Geelong legend Gary Ablett Jr. made a dramatic entrance at the club headquarters shortly after the news broke. Wearing a Cats polo and his trademark calm smile, Ablett is said to have addressed the playing group with a short but emotional message before being introduced as the club’s new senior development figure, unofficially dubbed the “Langer Role” in honour of his leadership style.

Witnesses described the moment as “a full-circle return” for one of the greatest players to ever wear the blue and white hoops.

A Shock Transition

While details remain hazy, early reports suggest Scott’s departure was amicable, with both sides agreeing the club was “entering a new era.” Ablett Jr.’s involvement had apparently been in quiet discussions for several months — though nothing was expected to unfold this suddenly.

Players were seen embracing both men, with several younger stars visibly emotional as the gravity of the moment sank in.

What Happens Next

The Cats are expected to hold a press conference “within the coming days” to clarify the future direction of the coaching panel and the exact responsibilities of Ablett’s new role.
Fans, meanwhile, have flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to excitement at the return of a club icon.
