Scott Watters

=Playing Career= Recruited from South Fremantle at the end of 1988 by West Coast, Watters played 109 games of AFL from 1989-96; firstly for the Eagles (1989-92; 46 games), then Sydney (1993-94; 37 games) and Fremantle (1995-96; 26 games). Scott was vice-captain of Fremantle’s inaugural team in 1995, before retiring at the end of 1996.

West Coast Eagles

Watters was selected as a pre-draft selection in the 1988 VFL Draft by West Coast after he won the fairest and best award for South Fremantle in 1987. He played 46 games for the Eagles over the next four seasons, including their first ever grand final appearance in 1991. However, when he was not selected in the 1992 premiership team, he was traded to Sydney as part of a deal which gave the Eagles the Number 1 draft pick, which they used to select Drew Banfield.

Sydney Swans

The reduction in public pressure in a non-AFL city and an injury free period saw Watters play some of his best football in the 37 games for the Swans. His good form in his first season was recognised with being runner-up in the Swans' best and fairest award.[1]

Fremantle

With the entry of the second Western Australian team in 1995, Watters returned to join the Fremantle Dockers and was the first vice-captain of the club. Injuries, however, would take their toll and at the end of the 1996 season he retired from AFL football. He continued to play for South Fremantle until the 1998 season, when he retired with a total of 207 senior games, 109 in the AFL, 92 in the WAFL and six for Western Australia. He is a member of the West Australian Football Two Hundred Club =Commentating Career= Post his football career, Watters spent time as a radio commentator with Perth radio station 6PR & Melbourne’s sports radio station SEN. =Coaching Career= Scott moved into coaching Subiaco’s Under 19 WAFL team in 2006 and was soon promoted to the senior role in 2007. Watters coached Subiaco for three seasons, including Premierships in 2007 and 2008 and for the past two years has combined this role with coaching the WAFL state representative side to wins over Queensland and South Australia.

Having forged a fine coaching career in Western Australian, Scott was highly sought after by a number of AFL clubs before deciding to join Collingwood as assistant coach in 2009. Replacing Blake Caracella, Scott was the defensive line coach and went to the Pies with fantastic grounding and experience. Scott was a integral part of Collingwoods successful 2010 Premiership campaign.
