Scott Watters (born 25 January 1969) is an Australian rules footballer. He was drafted from the South Fremantle Football Club in the WAFL to the West Coast Eagles in the AFL in 1988, before later playing for the Sydney Swans and Fremantle. He was a member of the 1985 Teal Cup winning side, the first year that Western Australia had won the national championships.

In November 2006 he was announced as the coach of the Subiaco Football Club, replacing Peter German.

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.

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 [http://wafl.com.au/_content/document/00048866-src.pdf] .

Post Football Career

Watters has spent time as a radio commentator with Perth radio station 6PR and in 2006 was appointed the coach of the Subiaco Football Club colts team. In November 2006 he was appointed the league coach, after Peter German accepted an assistant coaching position with the Fremantle Football Club. [http://www.sfclions.com.au/ArchivedNews/WeeklyNews2006/club_weeklynews-07.11.06.html] He is continues to commentate Western Australian AFL games for Melbourne's sports radio station SEN 1116 alongside Mark Readings.
