The AFL congratulates Geelong Cats’ coach Chris Scott, who reaches the 350-game milestone as a coach this weekend.

Scott is just the sixth person in VFL/AFL history to coach 350 or more games at one club (Jock McHale, Kevin Sheedy, Dick Reynolds, Alastair Clarkson and David Parkin).

The AFL's Historian has compiled a list of key numbers and achievements across Scott's coaching career:

Geelong Cats' coach 2011-present.
349 games (club record) for 236 wins, three draws and 110 losses.
Geelong premiership coach - 2011 and 2022

Most games by a coach and player pairing:

Key Achievements

• Scott will be the quickest coach to 350 games, in 14 years and 104 days
