In a shocking turn of events, Essendon Football Club has announced the immediate termination of head coach Brad Scott over a contract investment worth a staggering $1 billion. The decision, which has sent shockwaves through the AFL community, comes after an internal investigation revealed irregularities in Scott’s handling of player contracts and financial matters. 
The club’s board released a statement citing “serious breaches of trust” as the reason for Scott’s dismissal. According to sources close to the club, the contract in question was a long-term deal with a star player that would have committed the club to paying out a total of $1 billion over the course of the player’s career.
The news has stunned fans and pundits alike, with many questioning how such a colossal contract could have been negotiated and approved without proper oversight. The AFL has announced that it will launch its own investigation into the matter to determine if any further action is necessary.
Scott, who had been at the helm of Essendon since 2020, has yet to comment on his dismissal.
