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.
Ray..Got nothing to do with a boys body, he shy's away from contests and doesnt have the mindset of a physcially committed player.....you either have it or you dont.
Boekhorst didnt have it and its stood out like dogs knackers, Mullet doesnt have it either...
I'm not sold on Obrien at all unlike Dow who attacks the ball well....Obrien will get some slack cut his way due to being a pick 10 and the notion he is an outside player who isnt expected to
contest as much but the spotlight will get around to him, think it was Cameron Ling in a earlier game who suggested he froze and pulled up short.
Polson attacks the ball and man well, tackles hard but needs game time to improve his skills and awareness.
Fisher has a small body but he commits to the ball, I just want to see Obrien do the same every game....
