I'm not a real fan of OBrien as yet but we need to keep playing him given the investment was high(pick 10), he needs to get a lot of ball and use it well to compensate for his lack of contesting and physicality. I take the point that not all players can be Patrick Cripps in terms of hunting the ball but the smaller Zac Fisher shows more intensity.
Swans with their contested rolling scrum style probably wasnt the ideal team for Obrien to return against...Gold Coast who play a more open running game like Port
should suit him better. I think he needs to gain a yard in pace too....his style at senior level requires more speed IMO and I want to see him carrying the ball more.
