I think it was Grundy who took a screamer on O'Brien knocking him flat, O'Brien got up off the ground straight away and started to chase, that's a tough mind, he just doesn't have the physical size to plow into packs, it will come in time.
If we were a better team he would be still playing 2's, learning how to play against me, but we're not and Lachie is getting a game and doing ok. At least he runs hard both ways.
Also Poulson looked to be knocked out early in the first, he dragged himself off the ground, waived the trainers away and chased, well done young man.
Obrien for a first year player has some sort of a tank. Might not be ready in other areas but fitness wise he was one of a few only that was able to ran the game out.
Dow was gone come 3/4 time. He couldn't even jog in the last - understandably i know considering the injuries, hence why obrien surprised me so much. Big upside in both these kids IMO
