Scott Watters (born January 25, 1969) is an Australian rules footballer.

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 4 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 that 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-football 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 recoginised with being runner-up in the Swans best and fairest award. [1]
Fremantle
With the entry of the second WA team in 1995 Watters was lured home to join the Fremantle Dockers and was the inaugural vice-captain of the club. Injuries, however, would take their toll and at the end of the 1996 season Watters 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 6 for Western Australia. He is a member of the West Australian Football Two Hundred Club [2].
Post Football Career
