VFL 2021 Rd11: Carlton vs Northern Bullants

[Thryleon]

Not a lot to come out of this one.  With 12 players out injured we really didn't have a lot.    No key defenders, key forwards, inside mids, ruck etc.  Left with kids, wingers and flankers.

O'Brien couldn't get any space.    Got crunched as soon as he got it.

Unlike everyone else, I have woken up to a truth that is uncomfortable for everyone to really understand about LOB and that cohort.  We are finally developing players based on individual need, and getting him to a level in the VFL is the best way forward for him.

In a horses for courses approach, he might find value for us in a future state where we need an outside runner to complement a midfield that contains Walsh, Stocker, Dow, SPS and LOB on the wings drifting between half forward/half back.


He isnt that bad a player but he needs to really polish up his outside ability if he isnt a mix of inside and outside.
