Goldsack admitted he had not read Scarlett's exact comments but indicated that reading the book would not exactly be on his bucket list.
"If he is talking down one of our players, I'm not too fond of that, so I probably won't be rushing out to buy the book," Goldsack said.
"[It's] obviously not too good if he is saying bad things about 'Maxy'. Maxy is a good bloke so I'm not sure what he is talking about there."
He grinned when asked whether the comment would bother Collingwood's 2010 premiership captain.
"No, I can't imagine so," Goldsack said.
In the extract, Scarlett – a Geelong champion who played full back in three flags – said Maxwell approached the Geelong huddle at three-quarter time in the 2010 Preliminary Final when the Magpies were ahead by 61 points and started sledging players.
The behaviour did not sound completely unusual given the fierce competitive nature of both players.
