Scott Thompson

After playing a key role in Geelong’s VFL premiership side in 2007, Thompson was picked up with North Melbourne’s 3rd selection in the 2007 National Draft.

At 190cm, Thompson can play on tall forwards but also has the pace to match it with much smaller players, making him a versatile option in defence.

A break-out season in 2009 meant even further responsibility would fall on the shoulders of Scott Thompson and he has become one of the first defenders picked in the side.

Draft history: 2007 NAB AFL Draft 3rd round selection (North Melbourne) No. 37 overall. First game for North Melbourne: Round 1, 2008 v Essendon. NMFC Cap: 941.

Player sponsors: Megan & Wayne Goldspink and Shirley & John MacCuspie.
