AFL Commission chairman and former Geelong president Craig Drummond on Saturday apologised over the deal the club made with Kolodjashnij, a player with a history of concussions, in 2024.
In the agreement, which emerged on Thursday, the Cats defender effectively took on legal responsibility for future brain trauma in a bid to exonerate the club and its medical staff from court action down the line.
Drummond won't be involved in any AFL assessment of the controversial case, while chief executive Andrew Dillon refused to say whether the chairman should stand down while the investigation takes place.
Geelong initially didn't receive a sanction from the AFL on Thursday but were issued a 'please explain' on Friday - and Dillon expected to hear from the Cats next week.
Geelong CEO Steve Hocking said on Friday that Scott was kept "at arm's length" from the situation.
Following Geelong's 67-point win over Essendon on Saturday, Scott was asked for his opinion on the deal and said: "Well it's interesting when people have opinions on it.
"It almost suggests that they know more than me - which may well be the case. But I don't know enough to give an informed opinion on it.
"And that's sort of a good description of my role versus someone's role in the media or people kind of loosely involved in this sort of stuff. They're entitled to an opinion. I'd prefer it if it was a bit more informed.
"But my opinion - and this is deliberate that I am kept at arm's length from these things - so I mean, even if I was prepared to say more, I just wouldn't be able to give you anywhere near as clear a picture as the people that actually were involved in this stuff or are involved in it.
"It's not 1980. The coach doesn't run everything these days."
Asked when he found out about the situation, Scott said: "I imagine I heard about it sort of when it was made public.
"Even when I search my recollection of it, I can't even remember the timing around it."
Scott didn't want to talk about how Kolodjashnij was or if he'd spoken to him.
While Hocking labelled it a "misstep", when asked if the club had erred, Scott said: "As I said, I'm one of the least informed people here.
"I just think it's really poor judgement for people to have an opinion or acknowledge or refute those sort of things without all the facts.
"I suspect in the fullness of time, I still won't know. It's just not part of my remit.
"I guess if you really press me, I could go and demand that I be involved in it, but I don't want to be.
"It's just not the way that our football club, or I think any good football club, operates."
Drummond issued a statement through the AFL on Saturday acknowledging the club had gone too far.
"Regardless of the player's agreement, the club went too far in adding a waiver into an informed consent document and it will be removed," Drummond said.
"The waiver did not remove the player's protections under statutory health and safety laws.
"As the club has also acknowledged, there was also a process failure in relation to lodgement of the agreement with the AFL and the AFLPA.
"I have not and will not be involved in any deliberation in relation to this matter and its assessment under the AFL rules and regulations.
"I apologise for the mistakes made in this very complex situation."
Dillon did the radio rounds on Saturday, instead of conducting a formal press conference, where he labelled the situation "complex".
"We're getting information from Geelong and then we'll deal with it that way," Dillon told 3AW.
"I'm the CEO and I take the responsibility."
Earlier on SEN, Dillon believed the Cats were "owning the situation".
"Mistakes have been made, but they've been owned, and I think that's also as important," he said.
