Hislop Avaliable

[Red Black and Blue]

Big question, Tom Hislop has recovered quickly and is avaliable to play. We have been struggling with centre clearances, and Anzac Day atmosphere would be a great experience for fast tracking his career. Do we bring him in when we desperately need him or make him earn his spot through Bendigo??

 

[The Dustbin]

Bendigo

 

[Windas_Magic]

Let him play for Bendigo for two weeks then after the break against Sydney ( a hard bodied team), unleash him and let him tear opposition apart

 

[The_Young_Gun]

Bendigo, then Week after.... Maybe.

 

[Schmick]

As much as iv'e desperately been wanting him to play along with Myers, he should be brought back through Bendigo first.

 

[abers47]

Yeah,
I think Myers should be the 'youngy' to debut! Hislop is too important to rush!

 

[dave_27]

I tell you what, him and Riemers in the same midfield in the future are going to rip a few heads off.

Cant wait.

Just like the ol' Soloman/Johnson/Johnson combo. Sad time to think that that's a great era gone past when we think at the end of this season it's unlikely any of them will be at Essendon. Possible, but unlikely. Who knows, they might all be at freo.

 

[pazza]

Make sure he's right and get him match-fit.

 

[Nuts4Bolts]

Laughable to think he could play Anzac Day. I'd think he has a few months at Bendigo ahead of him.

Whats laughable is our ability to win centre clearances, we have been smashed out of the centre every game bar Kangeroos, think if we broke even with Bulldogs and Saints we would most likely be 4W 1L.

Not my type
Thanks for asking though

Just think your showing to much confidence in a kid who's been injured for most of his time at Essendon. Especially against a strong bodied opponent.

 

[football_legends]

Hille Laycock are jokes ! we need something better

 

[football_legends]

been@ Essendon for far too long, though i'd keep Hill before Laycock

I'm not banking on him having an immediate impact just think its a hole that needs to be blocked sooner rather than later and IMO Anzac Day would be great experience for the young guns.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Bendigo for mine, needs to get a bit of much fitness. Others deserve a crack on ANZAC day at the minute. Looking forward to him coming back soon though, form permitting.

What makes you think he could win clearances at AFL level.

He has played 3 games for an extremely modest return and has spent the majority of his time at Essendon injured or suspended.

I agree we need to win clearances but what possible reason, other than a pipe dream, could you have for thinking Hislop could come in and do that?

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Needs at least 2 solid games at Bendigo. If he starts getting in the bests after that and gets 25+ possies he can then get a run in the seniors.

As I said I dont expect immediate impact but would much prefer Hislop in developing than JJ who is past it.

Hille has just about been Essendons best player this season.

 

[Hislop200]

Tommy needs a good month at Bendigo to get him into the swing of things.
If after that and his form is good enough then could play seniors and perhaps never look back

He is one of the top 5 ruckman in the comp atm.
And Laycock does the job better than many other team's second ruckmen

Top 5?

He'd be AA Bench at the moment. And that's only because they'd give Cox the starting position on reputation.

Only McVeigh would be challenging him for our B&F at the moment.
