More info on Matthew Bishop
Tall player who could be used either down back or up forward. Began his career on Melbourne's rookie list but was promoted in 1998 at the expense of David Cockatoo-Collins.
Served the Demons well over two years before being traded to the Power as part of a three-way deal.
He played every game in 2002 and stepped up in responsibility after Mead's career went into a downturn. He deveoped his game to add creativity to his play off the half back line.
Bishop had another solid year in 2003 and the only time he was out of the team was when a calf injury sidelined him for three weeks.
Another member of Port's 2004 premiership side.
Bishop retired after a difficult 2006 season and has recently returned to Port in an off-field role as Football Administration Officer.
