Player Watch #2: Finn 'The Finn-isher' O’Sullivan - broken jaw after GF game - looking at possibly 2-3 weeks out

[Jindrrk]

Do Cameron Ling jobs and win the ball too would be nice. Add a Brownlow to his name

 

[Devil Fish]

GREAT game by FOS. First time NM has ever bothered to shut Merrett down and we get the win. Cant say I’m surprised.

 

[JGreezy]

Just watched the replay and he was comfortably the best player on the field. Just a pure footballer.

Reckon you can skip a week; Walsh tags himself by way of his iffy disposal

 

[amaz199]

He can go to Walsh. Cripps might be too much of a big-bodied mid.

But... I wonder if Walsh is the right choice... Elijah Hollands should get some attention. He is their live wire.

 

[DuckYeah]

Looked really slow.

Looks like our future captain

If we tag Elijah Hollands I’ll never watch a game of football again

 

[Epictetus]

Best young player the club has had for an eon. Not a supercoach darling or Instagram influencer focus.

Just a gun that plays football to win.

Walsh is a ball butcher. I'd expect us to rotate the defensive application if Walsh is off and Hollands is on. Kicked two goals in a demoralising loss to Dees.

Lol. Elijah Hollands has played what - maybe three consistently good games in his whole career as an AFL player?

Walsh is intrinsic to their ball movement, like Sheezel is for us. If you don't trust our midfield to go toe-to-toe with them, that's where the clamps go down.

 

[Psicosis]

Don't overcomplicate it. Straight to Walsh.

This.

Carlton can't move the ball through the midfield on transition. Shut him down.

Diagrams or STFU....

I can put it in a PowerPoint if it helps

REALLY hope we get him tied down this year.
Comes out of contract at the end of next year, and this kid is GOOD!

 

[DuckYeah]

The Finn-isher!!!! giantroo thread title update needed.

Mods take heed

 

[Reagan Smash]

And some nuffs on here were calling him soft last week

Screams one club player, not worried at all.

like effort.

Have you ever seen a second season player that knows what to do in every contest and uses his body so well.

The most impressive thing about the game was that people hear 'tag' and think oh, he must have been solely focused on neutralising Merrett.

It wasn't really a 'tag' by the traditional definition. Instead FOS used Merrett as kind of like a reference point - he's there, close him off, ball goes over there, Merrett out of commission, time for me to go get involved. And carrying out that role well is 100x harder than a traditional tag.

This is what I mean by the above, explained in video form:
