So what did we all think of Hislop's game?



Hislop takes chance to play big role for Tigers
BY Alex Fair
16/06/2009

THE rollercoaster career of Burnie's Tom Hislop continued on Saturday night, with the young midfielder playing a big part in Richmond's win against West Coast at Etihad Stadium.

The former number 20 draft pick, who was delisted from Essendon after seven games in two seasons at the end of last year, lined up for his fourth game as a Tiger and finished with 14 possessions and two important goals.

Did enough to earn another week.

Not a lot more but something to build on.

His tackling is his greatest asset

I worry when he has to kick the thing though  ;D

Thought he was reasonable and should hold his place

Strangely enough he seems to be a pretty good set shot for goal
Has kicked some nice goals from not the easiest of angles

Does the fact that we picked up Hislop after the Bombers mean that the Tigers have gone Hisloppy seconds? Or is that Coburg?

Meh. Just a footballer.

Too slow IMO. Goals aside thought Wirra absolutely murdered him and ran off him at will.

He adds some hardness and doesn't mind throwing his weight around (see Kerr) but yep Wirrapanda left him for dead in that second quarter.

Far too early to make the call on him
Plenty to go before he does
Hardly surprising that a veteran and premiership player has a bigger tank to run off a kid in his 11th game of AFL and his first back at senior level in 8 weeks.

I think he is a coward. I saw him pull out of atleast 2 contests during the game. Maybe he is learning from the best ie. Pettifer.

Hislop is another average player who shouldnt be at Richmond beyond this year but will probably survive because no club can sack 15 players in one hit.

sometimes I think Richmond supporters are the dumbest in the league. It seems whenever an ordinary hack kicks a couple of goals or plays ok in the reserves there is a frenzy of excitment that is so un warranted.
I remember huge hysteria over a litlle fella called Justin Plapp. The hype was laughable. Todd Menegola (number 29, dont get me started) was a better footy player than that hack.
Here we go again, Tommy Hyslop aint gonna get us to the finals people! Wake up!!!!

What did we all think of Hislop's game? 19 possies and a goal. Rawlings singled him out for praise after the game.
