Anthony Scott Biography

The Bulldogs delist Anthony Scott, who was picked up in the pre-season supplementary period in 2021 and went on to play 21 games in his debut season, including a preliminary final victory over Port Adelaide.

"Anthony has been with us for five seasons and showed great resilience to make it into the AFL at 26 years old," Bulldogs head of football Sam Power said.

"A very popular team member, his ability to play any role and put the team first has been a highlight of his time in the red, white and blue."

Anthony Scott's pre-season is derailed by a knee injury during a match simulation session.

Scott will be sidelined for at least five weeks due to the injury and faces an uphill battle to be included in Luke Beveridge's team to start the 2025 season.

Anthony Scott signs a contract extension to remain with the Western Bulldogs until the end of 2023.

"It's been an amazing year, definitely the best year of my life thus far. With the uncertainty that last year brought in terms of footy where I didn't actually play a game for points the whole year and then to get an opportunity with the Dogs at the start of this year and to work my way onto the list and to be now sitting where we are is pretty special," Scott said.

"It's definitely reward for so much hard work that I've put in, not just this year but the last five, six, seven years through playing in the VFL and a bit of amateurs footy as well. But to have two years in front of me now at an AFL club fills me with a lot of confidence and personal belief. I think it's going to give me the opportunity to flourish even more."

Anthony Scott makes his AFL debut for the Western Bulldogs at the MCG with 16 disposals (9 kicks and 7 handballs), a mark and a tackle in a 16-point win over Collingwood.

Anthony Scott earns a rookie spot in 2021 with the Western Bulldogs via the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period after impressing during his train-on stint with them.

It was reported that Scott also met with Essendon before committing to the Dogs.

Two AFL clubs have expressed interest in former VFL midfielder Anthony Scott after a stellar season with Old Trinity in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).

The 23-year-old is set to meet the Bulldogs next week, while his management has been in talks with the Saints' newly appointed list manager James Gallagher.

Scott played eight games in the TAC Cup for Oakleigh Chargers in 2013, before earning the VAFA Rising Star award the following year and a position on Richmond's VFL list ahead of 2015.
