Tom Hislop [merged]

[blaisee]

not saying I agree but he is still considered an unfulfilled talent in a position that is perhaps our greatest weakness, defensive small forward.
Probably has more genuine talent than King

Can't agree with any of this blaisee.
King has been far more effective than Hislop as a small forward in the back half of the year when compared with Hislop's ordinary front half.
Jake has much more talent from what I have seen.

If we give Hislop another contract I will disagree with it no matter whether Dimma (who I have enormous respect for) makes that decision or not.
I would much rather see his spot on the list in 2011 be given to another player. Anyone.

all true magic man and you are entitled to your opinion. The fact is dimma has a bigger vested interest than all of us in making sure the list is spot on and continuing to invest development into players at the expense of others. On that basis we have to back him in in my opinion. Could be wrong, for all we know he may be delisted, but regardless of the decision I will support it, and so should all members in my opinion. Maybe dimma and craig cameron and the rest of the coaches see something in him that we don't. Its their job to extract it, and good luck to them , we need a good defensive forward desparately.

I would have delisted King at the end of last year, so you're correct that they do deserve the benefit of the doubt and support but they won't/don't get them all right either. I'll honestly be amazed if he's retained.

I reckon he will be retained but will be amazed if he makes it.

If he's kept I hope its with a demotion to the rookie list

That being said, if he's kept, I'm kinda looking forward to the tantrums that are going to be thrown by the usual suspects

My feeling is you might be on the money Infamy.

[Judge Roughneck]

He is not soft.

If he can get fit he'd be handy in the man rooke forward line role at coburg.

I'll certainly be disappointed even if he's retained on the rookie list. Would prefer a punt on a player who actually has a chance of making it.

[jackstar is back again]

A fit Hislop would be a huge chance to win the B & F, At Coburg

Hislop delisted. Promised a rookie spot. Official internally.

All the delistings now know and except Hislop and the retirees they will all be put on the trade table first and not announced until after trade week.

waste of a rookie spot, if his kicking skills were even mediocre instead of appalling, I'd say persist bc of his other strengths, but he is the biggest butcher of the ball I've ever seen, never seen an afl player shank it as much as he does.

[eliminator]

Delist him.

[torch]

I second that!

[one-eyed]

Rumour has it that Hislop has been elevated off the rookie list.

Fair enough. Not a fan but he's been getting in the best players nearly every week for Coburg
