Chris Scott has rejected the idea that Geelong has a problem on its hands with Bailey Smith’s off-field behaviour, describing the star midfielder’s first 12 months at the club as an “outrageous success.”

It comes after reports emerged this week that the AFL contacted the Cats this week over Smith’s contentious social media behaviour.

That includes a now-deleted story where club legend Sam Newman verbally attacked veteran journalist Caroline Wilson on The Footy Show nearly a decade ago.
