Chris Scott responds to contested goal ruling during Geelong semi-final

Geelong coach Chris Scott addressed his reaction to a disputed ARC review during Friday's semi-final match against Fremantle at Optus Stadium. Scott struck the wall of the coaching box after officials ruled that a bicycle kick from Ollie Dempsey was a behind rather than a goal. The review center determined there was insufficient evidence to overturn the goal umpire's initial decision, which suggested the ball hit the bicep of Fremantle player Matthew Johnson before Dempsey deflected it. Scott stated he felt the goal appeared clear but noted he does not intend to judge the technical process during the season. Following the 14-point loss, the coach remarked that certain aspects of the game are better discussed after the season concludes. He also characterized his physical reaction to the decision as an expression of emotion rather than specific frustration, stating he strikes walls when he is both happy and annoyed.
