Is it just me or does others notice that Obrien is tracking along nicely and considering the midfield he has found himself in, he has delivered a very decent first year. Dow gets the credit but this kid is tracking very well in Dows shadow.
I know he has a long way to go but he hits a target by foot as good as any of our kids, in fact Im more comfortable with the ball in this kids hand then many of our senior guys.
Plus his fitness is amazing for a first year player. The kid runs and runs and is one of the few that finds space late in games.
He doesn't have the tricks of Dow but im confident this kid will make it.
Spot on Shawny. And whilst its been a long season for the young blokes, you cant question OB's effort and endeavours. I cant remember the game but it was early in the season but OB coughed up the footy and a TO occurred. He got on his bike and ran nearly the length of the field to make the tackle to stop the goal. He certainly is a fit bugger with bloody good endurance that for sure. And he will only get better, I see us ending up with our own version of Tom Scully (endurance beast).
