Missing targets, running to the wrong areas, serious question marks over his knees...Size, athleticism and strength. He's missed a lot of footy obviously so we're really banking on potential.
O'Briens contested numbers are not as bad as made out he averaged 9 per game. We can't all have contested midfielders/ bulls, It's about balancing your midfield. O'Brien is a more outside player with elite kicking and endurance machine. Exactly the type of player we need. Look at his 2016 all stars game as a bottom ager.
Exactly right. It's a bit hard for him to use his elite kicking and endurance when he's wrestling in contests. That doesn't mean he can't wrestle in contests when it's required. I'm definitely warming to the idea of picking O'Brien at 10. Looks all class!O'Briens contested numbers are not as bad as made out he averaged 9 per game.

I'd say Bonar is the riskiest 1st round prospect by a long, long way. There's plenty of other good players at pick10 that also have big up sides, but with much less risk.Not a fan of Bonar. I really don't see what other people are seeing.
Highlights the crux of an issue: there is a lot of conversation which confuses the landscape. The conversation is enjoyable but primarily speculation. A week after this article and I would still be happy with these two despite the talk of sliders and flyers. The players don't really change much if at all, just the conversation around them to further fuel the speculation. SOS will rock the house tonight regardless; pretty sure he isn't reading the Tele or the Age to get his info.
It's from last Saturday...
Dow and LOB look like they're best mates. Would be a nice story, especially after LOB spent his AIS time with us.
Brent Daniels is very close with Dow too, could be a Vic C trio! Daniels at 30 is a bit of a reach though IMO

Just ICYMI, Jake Niall categorically reported we won't be drafting Bonar, along with Stephenson as well. His Mail is usually impeccable so I'm ruling it out.
Providing there isn't a slider, my preference is LOB here. An elite athlete with a beautiful left peg and proven wing/midfield capabilities is something we don't currently have (Hopefully Williamson in due to as well).
Would prefer to look for a half-back with out later picks. One of Stoddart, Ling or Garner should be available at #30, whilst the middle of the draft appears so murky, we could end up with either Floyd or Paton at #73.
Have a real problem with taking a player with any contested ball issues .
Not saying everyone needs to be Selwood but they need to go when it's their turn to go .
Having identified and flicked Boekhorst , we have to trust that Silvagni/Brodie/Bolton agree and if they decide O'Brien is our man then so be it ...
Saints want Coffield, and could go Bonar, so still a chance Clark is there at 10
Ditto.I so want Clarke at Pick 10.
Reckon he will be a gun.
Do do still think I'm lying?I call BS on these claims. 9 clubs? Who are they?

Ditto.
Fogarty is my other choice but I think he will go earlier with Stephenson probably dropping. Can’t shake the feeling that we will make what appears to be an underwhelming choice here; and by that I mean Richards or LOB. TBH, I’d take a chance on Stephenson before those two and I’m not a gambler. Bonar or Constable is also a more astute Pick here IMO.
So you're concerned that he's rusty and how his knee checks out? Doesn't sound like Adelaide or GWS care, and they're not blessed with a raft of big-bodied mids.Missing targets, running to the wrong areas, serious question marks over his knees...
What is the risk with Bonar?? He had an injury, has overcome it and was burning late in the season..
No, completely different players
Are you suggesting there is a kid that could be the next Fyfe in this draft?
Not sold on this Richards fella! We clearly need a midfielder not a half back.
Stephenson.
