The Cats have benefitted from free agency in the past, signing defender Jared Rivers from Melbourne at the end of 2012.
And they remain squarely in the hunt for the Demons' out-of-contract free agent James Frawley.
Yet Scott insists he is not a fan of allowing players such freedom of movement.
"The AFL is working really hard with the clubs and the stakeholders to equalise the competition and give everyone a fair a chance, and I think free agency flies squarely in the face of that," he said during his weekly press conference at Simonds Stadium.
"And I also think there's a little bit of a spin-off in that we get these distasteful commentaries around certain players and we get speculation across the competition.
"I think in some quarters that can be seen as a positive thing.
"Certainly in the media it sparks interest, and maybe even at AFL level the discussion is something they find interesting and want to promote.
"From my point of view, unfortunately we've been dragged into a specific situation here.
"But we don't really want to inflame it any more than it has, and that's purely out of respect for the individuals involved."
Scott's commentary on free agency was triggered by a question about whether he had spoken to Frawley.
He replied by saying, "I don’t think that there are many people, maybe other than some of the players, that like free agency.
"I think all this is a little bit distasteful and I think it's a bit disrespectful to the individuals involved."
Asked if there was a solution, he said: "The easiest solution is to abolish free agency."
He was then asked, "And you're all for that?"
"Yep," was his reply.
Melbourne great Garry Lyon recently said the Demons should respond to Geelong's interest in Frawley by attempting to poach dashing midfielder Steven Motlop.
But Scott dismissed Lyon's comments.
"Garry might have been in hibernation for the last four or five years, but Geelong has been attacked pretty hard, not just at a player level but with its coaches, its administrators, with its chef at one point," Scott said.
"This is the era that we live in. There has been a move to promote more player movement and probably more staff movement across the clubs.
"We don't need to speculate in a hypothetical with Motlop, because we've lived through it with Ablett and we've lived through it with (Harry) Taylor.
"We've lived through it with Brian Cook and Neil Balme and Steve Hocking and Stephen Wells.
"We aren't in favour of it, but we understand the reality. We're trying to take a mature approach to it and move on."
