Toast Pick #10 - Welcome to Carlton Lochie O'Brien!

I know it's not a popular opinion here. But I can only say what I think. At the moment, he would struggle at VFL level. He needs to build body strength big time. Hopefully Andrew Russell works on it during off season.

Very agenda driven!

I don't think I have an agenda. If he plays well, I'd be the first to admit it. Thought his 1st qtr wasn't horrible.

Think he's building nicely. Doesn't seem so rushed, and is more often than not steadying and assessing options before disposing. Also love how he is often one of if not the first to go in and fly the flag for his teammates.

LOB has been making good contribution for a number of games. He is really starting to step up. His game against Freo was very good.
And as you mentioned, he flies the flag, Nice, surprising, dash of mongrel about him. Takes no ****

 

[Juddernaut08]

LOB has come on very nicely. Not VFL standard? WTF he's already AFL standard.

 

[VeinGlorious]

Very true. Needs to build up strength big time. One of the worst contested players in the comp at the moment. At the moment gets pushed off the ball and rag dolled at will.

Is the player who has surprised me most since DT took over the reigns. Coming along much better than nicely.

Lochie O'Brien has gone from strength-to-strength since making his return to the senior team.

He's doing ok. Much improved since Teague took him out of the back pocket. His strength is his endurance, let him run and carry

When did he ever play back pocket?

If no agenda then not much else going on in your head

Spoiler alert - Billy Brownless AND James Brayshaw. Avoid if you are after well considered interview and insights (or genuine humour).

Is this the same Lachie that should of been banished to the Vfl and to never be selected again ??
Strewth..

Soapy: please please tell Loch this:

They can’t catch you son. They just can’t.

If he has a metre on just about any player in the comp I’d back him.

PUT THE HAMMER DOWN

L.O.B 2nd quickest player at the club, who'd of thought.

He’s the quickest. Easily.

 

[Mr_Plow]

He’s the quickest. Easily.

When he put the foot down and went for that shot from 55, I was genuinely like wow. He got separation so easily.

 

[windows1]

Just a wind up sprinter. Not offthe mark.Takes 10 to get going. His top end is elite. You don’t break state 400m records if you’re not super fast. Love his running ability. He’s also a 6 min 2km runner.

I’m really bullish on him. Just back yourself son.

 

[Opine]

Seems to have lost his innocent on-field niceness of late. Love the way he shoves away opposition players when necessary.

 

[BrianSetzer]

Yesterday I looked at my brother in law sitting next to me at the game and told him, there's our Issac Smith right there.

 

[Juddernaut08]

I was so pissed off for not getting Fogarty.

Just confessing my sins.

 

[mickelboy182]

One thing I've noticed with LOB that he needs to work on his focus. Makes too many unforced clangers for a player with his kicking skill, and I think it's a matter of being lazy with his kicks. Lazy kicks out of the backline going off the side of his boot won't happen if he is kicking through the ball properly.

 

[TGR]

His kick to Setters in the first quarter for the mark and goal sums up this kid to a tea. Beautiful spinning drop punt that favoured Will's position. Perfectly executed.

 

[Omega Blue]

I had Lochie 2nd best in ground at half time, his kicking into forward 50 was exceptional.
However the out on the full clangers in the second half meant he missed out on my votes at the end of the game.
Love this kid
