Scott said Akermanis' attention grabbing headline in his time at the Lions started to wear pretty thin with his teammates and expects the Bulldogs' players will feel much the same way.
In a News Ltd column on Thursday Akermanis suggested gay footballers should not come out as they would make their teammates uncomfortable and "tear the fabric of the club apart" but Scott has suggested Akermanis has done a good job of that himself.
"He's put more pressure on his teammates," Scott said from Arden St on Friday morning. "Aker's had a history of responding fairly well when he is under pressure, but I know his teammates wouldn't be happy, and I know that first hand."
"We were a pretty strong, galvanised team [at the Lions] and in the end he left the football club.
"You look at someone's positives and their negatives, early on Jason's positives far outweighed his negatives but by the end of it his negatives started to take over."
Scott said Akermanis’ views were not commonly held in the AFL world.
“I’ve known Jason for a long time and he tends to speak before he thinks a great deal about it," Scott said.
"The whole football community has reacted as we’d all expect and he’s certainly a lone voice as far as I’m concerned.
“That sort of attitude is from a bygone era and certainly not one that reflects the football community at large.”
