Numbers don't look to have had a major dip, he is goalless this year but isn't a big goal kicker anyway ( 9 last year, 8 the year before with 4,7,4,7 before that ).
I agree he's not having the impact he perhaps normally has, then again he's not had Sloane, Crouch and Crouch at his feet much this year given their run with injury but it seems he's a little restricted in his movement.
His durability is almost a liability, they've not really found out of O'Brien is a capable AFL ruckman and might see a dip in output when Sauce isn't on the park or retired. He turned 30 in April and has carried Adelaide's ruck division for sometime now.
Take out the last two rounds and he's averaging 14.4 disp, 3.4 marks and 35.7 hit outs for the year.
