Stats
Bio
Recruited from Brighton in the Metropolitan Junior Football Association, Bill Scott joined South Melbourne in 1901 and became a consistent figure at the Lake Oval during the VFL's formative years. A durable player who appeared regularly for the Bloods over six seasons, he provided value as a utility capable of rotating forward to hit the scoreboard, tallying 26 goals across his 61 matches. Scott served the club dutifully during a middle-table era where they struggled to bridge the gap to the top sides, eventually departing the league at the conclusion of the 1906 season just prior to South's resurgence and return to finals action.
