Interesting situation with young O'Brien. He's playing with some extra confidence & belief now and has clearly shown that with further support & perseverance, he should become an A-Grade ruck.
An article in the Melb HUN is asking the question if O'Brien has leapfrogged Jacobs in the pecking order ??
If that is the case, what effect will that have on Jacobs career from now, he will be 32yo going into next season ??
Pyke did refer to Sauce as trying to win back “his spot”. I think many of us hope that ROB is seen as our first choice but are krud scared that 1 bad game and Sauce will be back and there he will stay regardless of form. We’ve had a couple of good surprises at selection this year but also a very recent example of the same old stuff.
