The AFL have launched a probe into Chris Scott’s new commercial arrangement with major Geelong sponsor Morris Finance, according to reports.
Scott was recently named the financial firm’s chief of leadership and performance and told Channel Seven the deal had been given the tick of approval by the Cats, the league and Morris Finance.
The dual premiership coach insists he will manage both roles simultaneously.
“You obviously wouldn’t go into something unless you were crystal clear on how it was all supposed to work,” he told Seven.
“It’s really just the formalisation of something we’ve been working on for a long time.”
All AFL clubs must abide by the soft cap for non-playing personnel, which is up to $7.675 million for season 2025.
“At Morris, we are incredibly proud of our 14-year partnership with the Geelong Cats,” said Nathan Murray, Morris managing director.
“This collaboration has transcended the traditional sponsorship model, evolving into a powerful relationship that reflects our shared commitment to excellence, community and sustainable success. We have stood by Chris and the Cats through their triumphs and challenges, and we are excited to continue this journey with Chris in his new role.”
