A pacy, elusive, strong marking forward, and the younger brother of Gary Scott, Graham Scott played 117 league games for South Fremantle between 1966 and 1971. An awkward but normally effective kick, he booted four goals from full forward in South's 15.7 (97) to 6.18 (54) defeat of Perth in the 1970 Grand Final, and, with tallies of 59 and 97 goals, was his club's top goal kicker in 1970 and 1971. His 1971 tally was especially meritorious as South managed just nine wins from 21 matches for the year to finish sixth. During the first half of his WANFL career, Scott played mainly as a half forward flanker, including five interstate appearances for Western Australia. 

He completed his league career in Victoria, first with St Kilda, where he played 18 games in two years, and then with Melbourne, after a swap for disgruntled rover Paul Callery.
