Magpies coach Brett Argus said Scott could fill a number of roles.

"Baily will be a handy pick-up and a bit of a bonus at this stage of the season," Argus said.

"He's fairly versatile and has all the attributes to be a very good player in the Hume league.

"Baily has played two matches for us now and has been in the best players on both occasions.

"I think he is best suited to playing in the midfield as well as spending time up forward."
