Geelong Coach Addresses Kolodjashnij Concussion Situation

During a press conference on Wednesday, Geelong coach Chris Scott addressed the ongoing situation regarding Jake Kolodjashnij's concussion, stating he had not spoken to the player since he came forward as the focus of the saga.

Scott mentioned he was aware of Kolodjashnij's unavailability prior to the Essendon game last Friday and noted that he has not sought further updates due to the unchanged status of the situation. He refrained from speculating on Kolodjashnij's future with the team.

The club has denied claims that a waiver was signed, clarifying that it was merely an acknowledgment of risk following a ruling from the league's concussion panel. Scott emphasized his support for the individuals involved while maintaining a stance on player privacy, expressing concern over the invasion of Kolodjashnij's privacy. Additionally, Scott provided updates on injured players Patrick Dangerfield and Jeremy Cameron, indicating that Dangerfield is likely to play while Cameron will be held back for now.
