Scott says don’t jump to conclusions on Cats’ AFL audit
Geelong coach Chris Scott says people shouldn’t “jump to conclusions” regarding an AFL audit into third-party payments at the club.
Scott says he’s “broadly” across reports this week that the AFL is auditing third-party payments at the Cats.
Asked on Friday if he had full confidence Geelong had acted within the rules during his tenure, Scott replied: “I’m not across the reports.
“Broadly, sort of I’m across it, but I have no visibility over whether the reports are accurate, and it’s just not a part of our operation that I’m privy to.
“Other people, I’m sure, could answer that question where I can’t. It’s a pretty easy one for me to answer – I’m not a part of it.
“So yes, I’m perfectly confident that I don’t have anything to add to that conversation.
“But again, it’s the way it’s been relayed to me, is sort of talking about speculation upon speculation, and then it sort of gets to the point where I’m like: ‘I don’t even know sort of what’s real and what’s not’.
“But I wouldn’t jump to conclusions if I were you.”
