New to Kayo?Stewart, who was one of the Cats’ better players on the night, was involved in a heavy collision with Lachie Schultz at the start of the last quarter – with the Pie subbed out not long after with concussion.
“One, because I don’t know, but most importantly I don’t ask; I don’t want anything to do with that stuff.”Mitch Cleary probed Scott on whether he believed there was an ‘overemphasis’ on the adjudication of kicks deemed less than 15 metres on Friday night.Did you feel tonight that there was an overemphasis on how far the ball’s gone ?Scott: Nup. But it was clear wasn’t it, right from the start. It was like: ‘Oh, that’s the way they’re picking that one up.
“Maybe it’s good for the game that they say ‘well I’m going to be 100 per cent sure that’s gone 15 metres, or I’m just going to call play on – that may well be a good thing … if they’ve made a conservative decision to do that, they should tell us.” Scott added. “Do you want me to shut up, do you?” Scott then joked to three-time premiership Cat and current club General Manager Andrew Mackie, who was sitting at the back of the room.Beyond his strong answers regarding the officiating and injury assessments of his players, Scott gave his side praise earlier in the conference for what is now their third win on the trot.
