After playing a key role in Geelong’s VFL premiership side in 2007, Thompson was picked up with North Melbourne’s third 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.

He continued as a one of North Melbourne’s most consistent players in 2011 playing all 24 matches and finishing in the top 10 of the Syd Barker medal.

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: Alliance Advisers - Denis & Tom O'Callaghan/Megan & Wayne Goldspink and Shirley & John MaCuspie
