Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

A Tasmanian, Scott was brought up in Ulverstone but played his early football at Devonport. His AFL career was hampered by constant injuries, the first of which came when he damaged his vertebra while training with Sydney at Maroubra beach in 1991. He only managed six appearances for the Swans in three seasons and in the 1992 AFL draft was traded to Brisbane. Scott played three finals in 1996, including Brisbane's one point Qualifying Final win over Essendon, in which he contributed three goals.

The Bears merged with Fitzroy in 1997 to form the Brisbane Lions and Scott was a foundation player, kicking two goals in their opening round loss to Adelaide. He later played with the Redland Australian Football Club.
