Geelong senior coach Chris Scott will lead his troops for the 350th time this Saturday afternoon against Richmond, becoming just the 12th coach in V/AFL history to achieve the milestone.
Scott becomes the quickest coach to reach this milestone, reaching the feat in 14 years and 104 days. Among the 12 others to make the mark, Scott's 67.6% winning rate is by far the best, trailed by legendary Richmond coach Tom Hafey at 63.9%.
Out of those 236 wins, which stand out as his most impressive? We take a look at the top five...
22022 Qualifying Final
Geelong's route to the 2022 premiership was challenged most strongly by the Magpies, who had shocked the footy world with a thrilling campaign that year. Collingwood won 11 games in 2022 by two goals or less, and launched themselves into the top four by winning seven of their last eight games, all by single digits.
Considering Collingwood's proven ability to win in the clutch, that made Geelong's qualifying final victory that much more impressive. In a tight game, where neither side led by more than 19 points, Geelong kicked four of the last five goals to steal a famous victory by a single kick, led by Gary Rohan, who had received immense criticism in the past for his lack of goals in September action.
Scott's trust in Rohan proved to be instrumental, as he took a spectacular mark 23 minutes into the final term before kicking the important goal from 50 metres out. He'd then assist Max Holmes' game winner with under 90 seconds to play. These plays set the Cats up for the rest of September, where Scott would win his second flag as senior coach.
