Relishing the prospect of returning to their Hobart fortress, North Melbourne could have key reinforcements for Saturday night's AFL clash with Sydney.
Backline trio Marley Williams, Scott Thompson and Luke McDonald are all a chance to line up at Blundstone Arena, where the Kangaroos hold a 14-4 record.
Williams missed last week's loss to Geelong to attend a relative's funeral, while Thompson (groin) and McDonald (knee) face fitness tests.
All three were set to train on Wednesday, with Scott planning to check in on Williams' wellbeing after a challenging week.
North were forced to field a makeshift backline against ladder-leaders Geelong last week and were beaten for polish in an otherwise even contest.
Scott was impressed by small forward Kayne Turner's defensive role despite his direct opponent Gary Ablett booting four goals.
"He's got all the hallmarks to be a good defender," Scott said.
"He's really competitive, he's quick, he's really tenacious.
"We're finding some players but certainly some experience back there would help."
The Roos have shown good signs over the past fortnight but their record of two wins from just eight games is well below expectations.
Fellow bottom-four side Sydney are coming off a hard-fought win over Essendon but the Roos will start firm favourites at Blundstone Arena.
"It's a really unique football ground - it's like no other ground in the AFL," Scott said.
"And we just feel at home there. We've got unbelievable home crowd support.
"We would have preferred to be down at Hobart earlier in the year, to be honest. But we've got this game plus another three down there, so we're really looking to continue to build on the momentum we've created down there in previous years."
The Roos elected not to challenge Sam Durdin's one-game suspension for an incidental head clash that knocked out Geelong opponent Gary Rohan.
Brownlow Medallists Ablett and Nat Fyfe meanwhile escaped sanction for intentional but low-impact striking offences.
"We probably had a bit of a double-whammy," Scott said.
"The rule was changed back to the original rule that if you choose to bump and there's incidental head contact, then you're liable for that.
"We were on the other end of that decision last year with Shaun Higgins.
"We accept Sam's decision and we'll leave it to others to criticise the Fyfe and Ablett ones if necessary."
