History

2011 Hickey made his debut in round 22 against Adelaide and scored 58. Tom then played again against Melbourne the next round, He scored 37.

2012 Tom played Round 1 & 2. He didn't play again until round 10 when he played in 5 of the next 6 rounds.(round 13 was the bye) Hickey didn't play rounds 16-20 but played the last couple of games of the season. Hickey averaged 10.1 Hit Outs per game.

2012 Trade Period Hickey was traded to St. Kilda with Picks 26 and 47 from Gold Coast for picks 13, 33 and 57.

Verdict - Not for me. Hickey will play a backup role to McEvoy. I can see his average going up. I think that he may be a good 2014/2015 pick.

Predicted Average - 65

Nice write up nrich.
Not for me at 270k, mabye 150k...

Really unsure on how the Sainters plan on using him. Will obviously be a back up for Big Boy McEvoy, but will they play in the same team? If so will he spend most of his time resting forward? Where does that leave Kosi and now Lee? Too many question marks for me.  Not for my team.

Could he play Forward. Big kozi is getting old and do they have any other tall forwards other than him (kozi) and Riewolt

[Justin Bieber]

Not Hickey.

Spudky.

[Windigo]

...Flower, that picture is creepy as. 

He has the ball on an invisible string?  :P

Anyway, don't think he has really shown much to justify a selection next year TBH.

[Cicjose]

no chance

Kosi is more likely to get back up ruck than this kid dont think Hickey will ever play if Mcevoy Stanley or Kosi if they are all fit

[Shihan7]

No way in hell at that price!

[essendon2]

definite chance to become #1 ruckman

Bloke by the name of Ben McEvoy might disagree.

[Jukes]

yeah can't see Hickey coming close to overtaking big boy McEvoy, should play a decent amount of games though.
