Geelong coach Chris Scott says he won’t sweep his side’s second-half fade out “under the carpet” but said Marvel Stadium conditions played a role in the Cats’ costly defeat. With Geelong’s chance of a top-two finish and home final all but going begging in the 18-point loss to St Kilda, Scott said a listless second half had surprised him. “(The players) are not morons. The missed opportunity … clearly we’re disappointed, we knew what was at stake,” he said after the game.
