The mind games between Geelong and Fremantle will be on again next Saturday night when the Cats host Ross Lyon's side at Simonds Stadium.
Geelong claimed their eighth win in their past 10 AFL matches with Saturday night's 32-point victory over North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.
Scott's men now turn their attention to top-four rivals Fremantle, who upset the Cats in the 2013 qualifying final at Simonds Stadium in Geelong en route to a grand-final appearance.
The Cats were eliminated at the preliminary-final stage against eventual premiers Hawthorn.
Fremantle have won four of their past five games against the Cats and the trip to Geelong holds no fears.
"It's a crucial stage of the season and the contenders are playing each other in the run home," Scott said of next Saturday night's round-20 encounter.
"Do we need extra motivation? I would be staggered."
Scott challenged a suggestion from a reporter at his post-match media conference at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night that Fremantle had a recent history of winning the mind games against the Cats.
"Have they? Really? What do you mean?," he said.
"Can I tell you all the mind games and the stuff off the ball, I don't recall us giving away a heap of free kicks that resulted in goals to Freo.
"If they win the mind games and we win the game, I'll be OK with that.
"But I can tell you, having a fair bit of respect for the Fremantle coach and their organisation, I don't reckon they'll be buying much into the mind games either.
"But if it's good for the theatre and it's good for the spectators, then bring it on. You will be over-rating its importance to the people inside the footy clubs."
The speed and dazzling skills of small forwards Allen Christensen (29 possessions and one goal) and Steven Motlop (21 and two) were crucial to Geelong's success in their 16.15 (111) to 10.19 (79) win over North.
Christensen was playing just his fifth game of the year following back surgery while Josh Caddy, who kicked two goals and had 18 touches, was making his 10th appearance in an injury-interrupted season.
Mitch Duncan (three goals), Mathew Stokes and Jordan Murdoch were also elusive.
"Some of our young players with speed on the outside make us a different team," Scott said.
