Tom Hislop anyone?

[KUNG FU]

Much more deserving player than any other delisted player for a spot on our list. I'm guessing his dismissal was related to being suspended by the club at the beginning of the year. He's only 20 years old, tough midfieldder from Tassie, #20 pick in 2006, not terribly fast, but he wins a lot of hardball and has quite good disposal under pressure.

"He has been absolutely outstanding, Tom, taken it on the chin and he's all about getting himself right to play good footy when he comes back," Knights said.

Any truth in that quote? haha

Definitely sparks more interest in me than anyone else who has been delisted, aparently has attitude problems, maybe that can be turned around.

Rokkie list him without a question. But I think someone may take him in the ND

 

[vlbl]

I doubt the club will take him, especially with the stance they made last season with Darren Pfeiffer (Spelling?) and Scott Welsh.

I would be interested in him but only as a rookie selection, but i doubt he will last til that long and may be the 1st player taken in the PSD.

The situation must have been severe or else why would Knights delist him when he has made it his policy to have a youthful Bombers side.

I remember him being touted to be picked up with our first selection in that draft. He is not what we need at the moment though.

Although the lack of pace is a concern, I think he is worth a rookie spot as good disposal under pressure is another thing we lack. I say hes worth it.

Yeah well exactly. Still worth a phone call.

We don't need some hard-bodied clearance machines? What are you crazy?

I guess you're right - we need more Crowbots.

 

[KUNG FU]

Hislop is anything but a Crowbot! Hard rough-n-ready footballer, not an athlete with finesse and sharp disposal.

I would pass

Pace

"Delisted Essendon midfielder Tom Hislop, a casualty of the Bombers' tough stance on player behaviour, is certain to be picked up in Saturday's draft after it emerged yesterday that he had placed a price on his head. Hislop, 20, was delisted after just two years — more for some wayward behaviour than his football ability.
He has attracted interest from Richmond, St Kilda, Geelong, Fremantle and Port Adelaide.
Hislop is the only "category two" player in the pool the national draft, meaning that he is the sole player to have nominated terms and conditions that must be met by the club that selects him.
Hislop's terms are for a two-year contract and more than the minimum base payments.
In practice, this means that at least one club has guaranteed that it will take him. While Geelong is believed to have interviewed Hislop, the Cats' tight salary cap — they can barely afford any player who is above minimum rates — means they might struggle to accommodate a player who played only three senior games in his first two season of league football."
