“At Morris, we are incredibly proud of our 14-year partnership with the Geelong Cats,” said Nathan Murray, Morris managing director.
“This collaboration has transcended the traditional sponsorship model, evolving into a powerful relationship that reflects our shared commitment to excellence, community and sustainable success. We have stood by Chris and the Cats through their triumphs and challenges, and we are excited to continue this journey with Chris in his new role.”
Scott told Seven News last week the arrangement had been ticked off by the league, the Cats and Morris Finance.
“You obviously wouldn’t go into something unless you were crystal clear on how it was all supposed to work,” he told Seven.
“It’s really just the formalisation of something we’ve been working on for a long time.”
In the Morris announcement, Scott said: “I am honoured to join Morris at a time when our partnership with the Geelong Cats is stronger than ever. The values that Morris holds – integrity, ambition and a commitment to fostering meaningful relationships – are the same values that have driven the Cats’ success on and off the field.”
The Geelong Football Club and Morris Finance have been contacted for comment. This masthead enquired with the AFL about the deal last week, but is not suggesting any wrongdoing.
