If O’Neill wants to go home in the 4-5 years that it will take for Tassie to get a side, I think that this pick will have turned out just fine. For all the rookies that do make it, there’s a stackload more that don’t last more than a couple of years.
He had a great underage year and was well in line to being first rounder at the start of the year. But didn’t have the greatest year this year, got injured, fell down the pack.
He will need to improve on his inside game to make it at the next level, imo but he’s got a fairly decent mentor in gaff to follow around. Maybe also follow Kelly/Shuey around for scoreboard impact.
I can’t work out if the guy that kicks the goal at 1:50 is the same Mitchell O’Neill- but if so he’s got a nice sidestep.
