I disagree. The barrier for him is work-rate and pressure. He’s improving fast in that regard, but still behind the 8-ballThe problem with Ollie is NOT when he is in close and has the ball. His intinctive moves are really top shelf.
It's when he has time and space that something goes seriously wrong with his decision-making and disposal.
He really is way better when he doesn't have to think.
Yeah his effort level is definitely higher but still a work in progress. Probably need to persist with him this year to see how much better it gets with more games.I disagree. The barrier for him is work-rate and pressure. He’s improving fast in that regard, but still behind the 8-ball
Don’t reckon you have any idea what you’re talking about. Ollie’s shortcomings have nothing to do with his ball use. He is good ball in hand. The problem has been his competitiveness, work off the ball (has laid 6 tackles in 6 games this year, whereas I think Breust had 6 last week alone), work into good positions where he can get more of the ball. His yips in front of goal set him back as well.
Maybe he is ready to Ronke them. iOllies reputation and perceived pressure acts must have North trembling at the knees.
Not playing at Box Hill today. Are we to assume he’s playing seniors next week after a rest?

If we are only going to enter forward fifty 35 times a game we need low possession, high efficiency players to ensure we kick a score!Brockman will never be a high disposal forward, he gets his 10 or so touches, averages over a goal a game and adds much needed pressure, he moves beautifully, has good speed in bursts, can withstand the pressure of important moments to kick goals, these are all good traits, its sad seeing a bloke with all of these good traits go back to the VFL get injured, come back with some good impact footy and not get back into the AFL side that needs pressure, high impact goal kickers, i just hope he gets back in sooner than later, he is exactly the type of player who needs games put into them imo.
He'd be spent half way through the first.Can we try him in midfield for sometime considering his speed burst and class which we are missing?

What drums?Any updates on his no show on Sunday? Not liking the jungle drums around this one.
What have you heard mate.Any updates on his no show on Sunday? Not liking the jungle drums around this one.

It takes most players at least 3-4 pre-seasons to get the engine to be an AFL midfielder. Blokes like Walsh and Rowell are just freaks
