Geelong coach Chris Scott stands alone just half a season into his first campaign as a senior coach.

Leonard’s record has stood unchallenged since, before Scott took on the Cats in 2011.

Geelong has won four of the 11 games by less than a goal, including Saturday’s thrilling come from behind win over the Hawks.
