O’Connor pens two-year contract extension

Mark O’Connor locks in another two years

He plays such a thankless role with constant sprints simply to occupy space and set up our defence and attack, absolute gem of a player. Will only continue to get better and more involved

 

[supahoops]

Those that keep talking of him being on the fringe of this team ought to give themselves a slap.

Shark like Blics is another player that is looked down upon a little due to not being truly elite in one position but has the ability to do multiple roles such as defender, wing, middle and can even go forward all at a very good level.

 

[Generalissimo]

Great news. Should take him past 150 games, a terrific achievement for the most underrated player in the team.

 

[Stab Pass]

Shark has been good this year and was really good on Sunday. He is hard at it, tackles well, runs hard and is surprisingly good overhead.

Not every important player on a list is a superstar. You gotta have players that take the 450 a year deals … do the thankless tasks and are players 15-23 picked.

They also look great with their premiership medallions and their medallions are the exact same size as the million dollar superstars medallions

I was surprised he'd been with Geelong for 8 years. That time has passed quickly. Good on him.

Nothing flashy about him, but he gets the job done.

Career-best season for O'Connor. I did not expect him to be able to slot back into midfield to nullify one of the competition's best midfielders, after having a great season at half back. He found plenty of the footy himself too. It's almost like he's found another level in honour of his Irish big brother's retirement.
