Date of birth: 12/7/90
Height: 196cm
Weight: 87kg
Club: Oakleigh/Carey Grammar
Bio: A strong-marking forward who has ability to play back. Lisle is a competitive and courageous player who has solid skill level. A Vic Metro under-18 representative in 2008, culminating in selection in the All-Australian under-18 team. From Carey Grammar.
Jason McCartney says: I saw him play at centre half-back [in the championships] and be very good in the air, very good one on one and set up a lot of play. With him and Michael Hurley down there the opposition didn't have much of a chance, but I also saw him go forward a couple of times and kick three or four goals. His dad played some games at North and he looks to have good footy smarts.
Vic Metro U18 coach David Dickson says: Jordan, as a 17-year-old, was probably carrying a lot of puppy fat, but to his credit he did an enormous amount of work over the summer and got himself into a program that saw him do a lot of running and strip away a lot of weight. I don't think he ever realised he was good enough to play at national level, but when we lost Jackson Trengove to injury we threw him down to centre half-back and I thought he was outstanding throughout the carnival.He can play centre half-back, he can play centre half-forward and while there is a little bit of a question mark over his speed, he reads the game so well that he offsets that.
Stats: NAB AFL Under 18 ChampionshipsTeamMtKHBDMHOTG Vic Metro 5 7.6 5.4 13.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 0.6 In his own words
Strengths? I’ve probably taken a few good marks here and there. I’ve played forward and back – versatility’s probably been my strength this carnival; being able to play either end of the ground and do a job either forward or back.
Weaknesses? Probably more athletic stuff. My fitness has been good, but my speed and agility is probably something I need to work on to be the best I can be.
Which AFL team do you support? Kangaroos.
Which AFL player do you feel you most resemble? Obviously the best tall players, probably (Nick) Riewoldt, just because of his run, and Brown [for his] big contested marking, just those sorts of guys. Matty Pavlich, along with Matthew Richardson. They’re probably the four I admire the most.

List manager Chris Pelchen tells hawthornfc.com.au about the club's five selections in the national draft
Selection 50: Jordan Lisle
Oakleigh Chargers, Vic, Tall forward, July 12, 1990, 196cm, 87kg
“Jordan was probably the surprise of the draft from our perspective because many people would have had him inside their top 25. The fact is, because of needs, we left Jordan a bit later not expecting him to be there at pick 50.
"Is the son of former North Melbourne player Mark and is a very athletic key defender, very strongly built and because of that we think he is some chance to play senior footy next year.”

Strong marking tall from Carey Grammar who can play at either end of the ground. Won selection in 2008 U18 All- Australian team. Father is former North Melbourne big man Mark Lisle. Club rated him in its top 20.

Evans said the club’s five new draftees Ryan Shoenmakers, Luke Lowden, Jordan Lisle, Liam Shiels and Shane Savage had adjusted well since arriving last week.
“They’ve all settled in well. They’ve already developed some pretty close relationships with each other which is common when you get a group of kids come through at the same time. A couple of them are only 17 and still need to complete their VCE studies next year,” he said.

I'm proud to say that Jordan Lisle is my man for 2009. As with Jordan, I'm a former Carey Grammar student and I've had to sit back and watch all of our footballers struggle to make the grade. Other than Jordan, the only players still on lists from Carey are Daniel Jackson (Richmond) and Matthew Laidlaw (Sydney). Other former players include Cameron Howat (Richmond), Tom Roach (Richmond), Julian Rowe (Collingwood) and Kieran McGuinnes (Bulldogs). As you can guess we haven't had a heap of success there yet, but Jordan honestly looks like the best yet, and I'm absolutely stoked he's at Hawthorn.
From the Hawks website: Jordan Lisle #36
Height: 196cm
Weight: 87kg
DOB: 12-07-1990 (18 years old)
The key-position prospect excelled in forward roles at junior level but can also play in defence. Marks well, loves a contest and is athletic, strong and courageous. Represented Vic Metro in last season’s NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and was named All-Australian. Son of former North Melbourne player Mark.
Not too much has been happening lately with Jordan. He played in Box Hill's first game on the weekend (a win over Northern Bullants) and from reports, "he's a big lump of a lad" who moves slowly but reads the game well.
From the match report:
Quote:
Pleasing signs were seen by all supporters with great matches by Curnow (recruit) Lisle, and Schoenmakers all impressing.
He played in the Ruck and in defence for Box Hill and although many might hope he can step up into the senior team to fill Croad's absence, he's probably a long way off for now.
A pleasing team effort overall, Box Hill forward’s Jordan Lisle and Luke Breust continue to impress. ...
...
Goals: S. Gibson 4, L. Breust 3, J. Lisle 2, S. Iles, B. Smithwick, J. Kennedy, B. Neil
Seems to be progressing pretty well. He looks a good size too
Jordan Lisle
Played the whole year in the VFL mostly as a forward. We are really pleased with his development. His performances in the last month in the VFL team have been really good. He kicked a bag of five in one game, and played really well in the finals. He’s still a little while off playing AFL footy, but hopefully at some stage he might be able to challenge for a spot in the forward line

Right, time I got this page rolling. Lisle's my man this year, and with all the talk about him a possibility to take over the ruck, figured it'd be a good time to put a few things up about him.
Stats from the NAB cup are a tad hard to find, found a few things from fanfooty.com.au, will quote them below.
Round 1 vs Tigers
Quote:
Playing as third forward on Moore Lisle contributed with 15 possessions, 5 marks, 2 tackles and managed 1.0.
Round 2 vs Bulldogs
Quote:
Started as a substitute... subbed on in Q4. Lisle added 3 possessions and 2 marks.
So thanks again to Monty for those stats. For those interested, here's his supercoach/dreamteam scores for the NAB cup games, and his dreamteam for the challenge games
Vs. Tigers: 67 - DT, 60 - SC
Vs. Bulldogs: 16 - DT, 8 - SC
Vs. Kangaroos: 35 - DT
Vs. Lions: Didn't Play
