The former Bomber gets a second chance after two unfulfilled years at Windy Hill. Hislop, a top-20 selection in the 2006 NAB AFL Draft, is a hard-at-the-ball midfielder who revels in contested situations. Turning 21 in June and with seven games of valuable AFL experience already under his belt, his selection could well prove a masterstroke by the Richmond recruiting team.
Previous club: Essendon (2007-08: 7 games, 2 goals).
Draft history: 2006 NAB AFL Draft 2nd round selection (Essendon) No. 20 overall; 2008 NAB AFL Draft 4th round selection (Richmond) No. 58 overall.
