Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Wangaratta Rovers, Robert Hickmott was originally selected by Essendon with pick 48 in the 1988 National Draft but was unable to break into the Bombers' senior side during his two seasons at Windy Hill. He received a competitive lifeline from Melbourne via the 1990 Pre-Season Draft, where he eventually made his AFL debut and played two games across the 1990 and 1991 seasons as a fringe midfielder. While his playing career at the elite level was brief, Hickmott later achieved significant prominence in the sporting world by transitioning to the thoroughbred racing industry, where he became a celebrated two-time Melbourne Cup-winning trainer.
