Don Scott is officially named a Hawthorn Legend.

It came via a simple announcement from club president Jeff Kennett at Tuesday evening’s annual general meeting that was held virtually. Scott, to the surprise of nobody that knows him, declined to speak, or even make an appearance over Zoom.

However, he accepted the highest accolade there is at Hawthorn and will be formally celebrated at a club function "of his choosing" sometime next year.
