A very fine cut of a man and very good footballer. I think he pretty well gave the Saints away to concentrate on his work. Tragic.

So sad. Best wishes to his family and friends.
Poor Malcolm's suffering is now over, theirs is just beginning.
A talented man who made the world a better place.

I am still hurting from 71;
my gut churns thinking of 97;
2009 was agony,
2010a was a pleasure to watch only to be devastated by 2010 b.
It hurts barracking for the Saints

Re: Dead AFP Officer - Malcolm Scott
I'm afraid I couldn't recall him. It seems he played 10 games in 1979/80. He was at FF and once kicked 6 goals against South - the only game in which he played in a winning team with the Saints.

A Ballarat boy. One of many back in the day. A good full forward. Strong mark. Big kick on him. Another Coodabeen if only we'd been a better club back then.

Re: Dead AFP Officer - Malcolm Scott
We coulda/shoulda pushed for the flag in '78 and lost too many top players at year's end (think Ditterich, Rex Hunt, etc.). In '79 we started our slide to oblivion.Drake Huggins wrote:A Ballarat boy.

Malcolm Scott would have made the grade, I have no doubt, and would have filled the spot vacated by Hunt. However, career came before football. Another Saint lost in tragic circumstances.

Awful that so many cops take their own lives after what they do to keep us safe.
It’s so wrong.

Re: Dead AFP Officer - Malcolm Scott
It's a very tough trade. Very little support. They die 3.4 years after retirement after 60. No wonder the actuaries want then to take the pension rather than the lump sum.

Re: Dead AFP Officer - Malcolm Scott
Very very sad news. RIP Malcolm.
I always thought he wasn't given enough games. To average 2.6 goals a game in your first 10 games in those very mediocre teams was an achievement.

The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."
