Rohan, now equal-fourth in the AFL's Coleman medal race with 15 majors, is the Cats' highest goal-kicker after six matches.
He took 10 marks and had 14 disposals to go with his scoreboard impact in Geelong's 58-point win over the reigning premiers on Sunday.
But the former Swan, who has pulled in 26 marks for the season, also boasts one of the best accuracy records in the competition at 88.2 per cent, with just two behinds.
Scott told reporters after the Eagles clash that he was rapt with the chemistry rapidly developed by his new-look forward line - the most potent in the league.
"It's a big improvement in terms of cohesion (and) continuity and it's amazing how often those two things lead to better output," he said.
"One of the pleasing things is it's been a different couple of players in that group who've taken control each week.
"Gary Rohan's done it a couple of weeks in a row but I thought (Esava) Ratugolea was jumping at the ball really well ... and looked a threat.
"Ablett's not a bad ground level forward either it turns out."
Geelong, a game clear on the top of the ladder with a 5-1 record, will head to Melbourne this week to take on 10th-placed Essendon on Sunday.
