Quarterback Style
I have another option for you all for a rookie draftee.
Tom Hislop. Pick 20 in the 2006 draft for Essendon has been delisted.
Is a tough in and under midfielder like we need and I'd be happy to see him on our rookie list to give him another shot
Was suspended at the start of the year for missing training after a boozy night, had a tough run with injuries but always played pretty well with Bendigo. Played a few games with Essendon from memory that were servicable.
From Burgan's 2006 phantom draft . . .
12 - MELBOURNE - TOM HISLOP
Tassie Mariners, 7 June 1988, 184.4cm, 85.9kg
Should a 'slider' fall through, Melbourne's first selection could be a fascinating outcome, yet the Demons are believed to be considering hard-at-it Taswegian Tom Hislop and Queenslander Ricky Petterd with its first selection, while key Victorian talls James Frawley and Ben Reid are also in the mix. Krakouer may also be considered with Melbourne's opening choice. Renouf will also be in Melbourne's thoughts. Hislop is likely to be a sought-after prospect from 10 to 15. His hardness and attack on the ball would compliment the likes of recent draftees Brock McLean and Colin Sylvia. Should Hislop pass Melbourne, expect him to figure in Richmond's plans the following pick and also Sydney's at No.15. Highlights/achievements: Robust and powerful player who is strong overhead and a prolific ball winner. All-Australian at U18 level this year averaging 20 disposals and ranking number one for tackles. Has an excellent speed and endurance combination being sub 3.00sec for 20m and mid level 14 for the Beep Test. AIS/AFL Academy graduate.
Anyway worth consideration for the rookie draft I'd say as he still has time to become a good player. Thoughts?
