The problem I have EB1 is that AFL opposition will pick up on this and construct scenarios that cause him to behave that way. O'Brien, boy or man, has to be aware he is under 24x7 opposition scrutiny and must put his hand up sometimes to be unpredictable to the opponents or end up road kill.
It's no different from Levi failing to compete whenever he cops a little body on body contact in the run up to a pack mark, the better teams make sure it happens to him all the time every time!
In crunch time, if you have a predictable flaw in your game, the opposition will take full advantage of it.
On the flip-side, he only has to fly the flag once or twice a game and a hurt opponent will grow doubts!
