Senior Players List

Introduction

Jordan Lisle is an exciting key position prospect who spent his first three years of development at Hawthorn. Capable of playing key posts at either end of the field, he is a versatile option who is regarded for his marking ability, competitiveness and football smarts.

Background

• A former student of Carey Grammar, Lisle represented the Oakleigh Chargers in the U18 TAC competition before ultimately getting drafted by Hawthorn with Pick No.50 at the 2008 AFL National Draft.

• He spent his first two seasons with Hawthorn's VFL affiliate - the Box Hill Hawks - and was trialled at both ends of the ground. He played primary up forward in 2010, booting 30 goals from 20 games.

• After an impressive start to the 2011 season, Lisle was constantly on the verge of selection in Hawthorn's senior team, however the Hawks' wealth of quality talls presented few opportunities.

• He eventually made his debut in Round 11 of 2011 against Fremantle and went on to play four of the next five matches before a broken cheekbone forced him out of the side.

• Lisle cracked another senior game in Round 24, but was dropped the following week on the eve of the Hawks' 2011 Finals campaign.

• The Brisbane Lions pounced on the 21 year-old during AFL Trade Week, welcoming him to the Club in return for Pick No.29. The Lions received the big man they so desperately needed, while Lisle saw a chance to gain great opportunities up North.
