Now-retired defender Matthew Scarlett was suspended for three matches after striking Freo small forward Hayden Ballantyne during a fractious contest in the opening round of the 2012 season.
Six months later, the Dockers knocked the Cats out of the premiership race when they beat them in an elimination final at the MCG.
They met again earlier this year in the NAB Cup, and Steve Johnson copped a one-match ban after a fracas with Ballantyne.
"We always remind our players of the need to be disciplined, so that will be in the forefront of our minds," Scott said on Tuesday.
"We can't stick our head in the sand. Matty Scarlett put one on Hayden's chin and then Steve Johnson punched him in the guts.
"But I don't think there's any lingering effects. I don't think anyone will be going out there thinking we've got retribution to serve.
"Other than two teams towards the top part of the ladder going at each other this week, I don't think you need any more reason to approach the contest with some vigour."
Fremantle has become a ruthless outfit since Ross Lyon took charge, with the tagging tactics of Ryan Crowley personifying their relentless approach.
Aware of the way North Melbourne failed to cope when they played the Dockers at Patersons Stadium last Sunday, Scott does not want his team to suffer a similar fate.
"In big games, against good opposition, you've got to get everything right," he said.
"You've got to be disciplined, not give away silly free kicks. Goals are going to be hard to come by, so we don't want to do anything that is going to hurt our chances.
Scott and his assistant coaches have devised a plan to counteract Fremantle's stingy defence, but they are keeping it to themselves.
"We're a pretty good attacking team," he said.
"We've got some options to score against teams that defend in a similar way to Freo.
"Freo do it better than everyone else, so it's going to be a huge challenge, but the game's not going to be about their defence versus our attack.
"I could walk you through everything that we've got on our mind, but I'm not going to. Sorry."
The Cats face a very tough fortnight, as the clash against Freo is followed by a meeting with ladder leaders Hawthorn.
"I'd rather have walkovers for the next 10 weeks to be honest, but I think the time's right to play our best footy," Scott said.
"And against the best teams, if we win, we'll know that we've played well."
