[cmndstab]

Lol at the AFL website listing O'Connor as a 191cm ruckman

 

[Scorpus]

"Tall midfielder who has an excellent work rate and is capable of winning contested balls and set up his teammates on the outside. A consistent performer for Western Australia in 2019 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, he averaged 13.8 disposals and 5.5 tackles, playing an important role in the winning team. He progressed from Under-18 level for Claremont, averaging 18 possessions (50 per cent contested), 4.5 clearances and 6.3 tackles to play a couple of Reserves games late in the year. "

greenwood replacement?

 

[Golumless]

Another inside mid...

Very good size though.

 

[Scorpus]

"RONIN O’ Connor is a inside midfielder with a tenacious appetite for the contest. 2019 has been a watermark year for the youngster as he was part of the Western Australia Under 18s champion winning side as well as captaining Claremont to the 2019 WAFL Colts premiership. The 18-year-old also got a taste of Reserves action for the Tigers late in the season. Tackling is a big sign of effort, it does not make many highlight packages but it sets the tone for his teammates to follow. Despite not being a massive accumulator of disposals, O’Connor makes sure that he sets a high standard in that regard. That, along with his leadership, work rate and inside game ability allows him to be a valuable later draft prospect. He does have to build his outside game and hit the scoreboard more often, but is one of those players who has speed to burn which will help him develop that aspect of his game. "
