Scott on Geelong's injuries

I think that was a significant part of it obviously.

We were in control of the game for the majority really, but it did start to tell towards the end.

Obviously it was a challenging situation, didn't think it was insurmountable but we just weren't quite good enough in the end.

Watch Geelong’s press conference after round 18’s match against GWS

Scott on Jeremy Cameron, Jack Henry and Tanner Bruhn

He is pretty sore, I am not sure the extent of it. I might as well address all three of them.

They will all be staying in Sydney tonight, and I don't pressure our medical staff to keep me in the loop, in an acute fashion anyway.

Tanner Bruhn has a neck issue, which we are obviously very cautious with.

Jeremy's shoulder and Jack Henry's throat, so it made it difficult but it is just the swings and roundabouts of our game. 

Scott on the ruck battle

It was more complicated than that.

Mitch [Edwards] is a very young ruckman who is showing a lot of promise.

I thought Briggs was good late, but we were very happy with how that was going early.

Scott on where Geelong are at

Again, looking at the big picture for us.

We shouldn't look back to last week necessarily, but GWS beat Fremantle pretty convincingly. It is our job to review it, sometimes you are in a situation where you think that we need to change a whole lot of things, because we are really not going well.

I just don't think it is the case now and today was a good example, where we played well enough to win the game, and that has been a common thing over the last month or so.

So there is still room for optimism, it is obviously frustrating in the short term. But I would be honest with you if I thought we had serious problems, but I am just not at that stage yet. 

Scott on Geelong's list depth

We don't know what we are dealing with, but we are confident in our depth.

Our VFL team had another very good win today, and we have had guys performing well there for a long period of time.

We certainly have guys to come in, but I would need just a little bit more time to see how it all plays out before I give you an accurate assessment of that.
