He couldn't get a regular gig when we were struggling at times with injuries and pre 2004 form! He has no recovery or ground skills so he would never be able to play on a flank. Still he might suprise with a change of enviroment but I wouldn't be putting lot's of hard earned on that!


Actually he's played well everytime he's stepped out this season. I know the trial form can be a bit misleading but its better to have played well in them that poorly. And after watching him closely I havent seen any element of softness in his game, and his ground skills are OK for his size. So far I think he's been a great pickup for the club.

Bullshit - and you know it. Still O'Hara at least has a chance to play in a premiership team now!

I agree with you drebin. I personally don't think he's soft at all. Good ruckman and even does well around the ground. Has a good mark but kicking especially in front of goal does let him down. I'm sure jars is working on that side of his game already though. Definately going to be a good pick up for you boys and has every chance of playing in a premiership side.

I can not argue with either Drebin or EHL .

Well EHL the best I can say is that based on the last two weeks the Eagles are a ten goal better side than the Dogs!!!!!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
