Stats
Bio
Arriving from West Perth with a strong reputation as a state representative, Don Scott was a versatile big man who became a key figure for South Melbourne in the early 1950s. Standing 188cm, he was capable of shouldering the ruck duties or holding down a key defensive post, while also proving dangerous enough in attack to average nearly a goal a game. His time at the Lakeside Oval coincided with a lean era for the club, and despite his consistent performances, the Swans failed to reach the finals during his five-year tenure. Scott eventually departed to pursue leadership roles elsewhere, returning to the WAFL as a captain-coach before later serving as the inaugural leader of Waverley in the VFA.
