Career
He also had a noted career in Tasmania in both the Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) and Tasmanian Football League (TFL). The 1926 season was spent in country Victoria and the following year he began his two season stint with Cananore, which included a premiership in 1927. A ruckman who could be used in the key positions, Scott returned to the mainland in 1929 to play for Street Kilda.
He played his first senior VFL match when nearly 29 years old for Street Kilda against Geelong, in Round 3 of 1929, on Saturday 11 May 1929, at the Junction Oval.
On that same day, another Tasmanian and former Cananore player, Ted Terry, also made his debut for Street Kilda. He participated in a rare Street Kilda finals series, kicking two goals in an eight-point Semi Final loss to Carlton at the MCG. Back at North Launceston in 1931, Scott was appointed captain-coach and steered them to another premiership.
In 1933, his final season, he captain-coached New Town. He was one of the inaugural inductees into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
During his career, Scott represented Tasmania at both the 1924 Hobart and 1927 Melbourne Carnivals.
