Those numbers emphasise how hard it has become for players to find a new home once they are delisted.
Last year's draft featured the successful Hawthorn experiment with Port Adelaide premiership player Stuart Dew and the return of Fraser Gehrig to St Kilda.
But this time clubs were concentrating even more than usual on youth, especially given the proposed Gold Coast franchise is scheduled to enter the draft next year and gobble up early picks. The Bombers recruited Hislop at pick 20 two years ago.
He then managed only seven games in two seasons and developed a reputation for poor discipline.
Tigers recruitment manager Francis Jackson is confident Hislop can prove a success at Punt Rd.
``Tom is a 20-year-old who can play footy, so we've got to ensure he fits into our culture and works hard. I'm sure he will,'' Jackson said.
``We believe he'll make the most of the second chance.''
Collingwood was the next to sign a delisted player, picking up former North Melbourne key defender Leigh Brown at 73.
