Fox Footy phantom draft has us taking O’Brien .... is he a good pick up?
PICK 17: RICHMOND — LOCHIE O’BRIEN
Clubs: Bendigo/Vic Country
Position: Midfield
Size: 184cm, 75kg
Bio: O’Brien is a penetrating left-foot kick, who has good balance stepping out of stoppages on his preferred side. He’s got a great fitness base, which is arguably his biggest asset. But he’s also composed with the ball. That enables him to find targets off long overlapping runs. He’s been plagued by a knee injury throughout the year, but he performed well across three games with Vic Country. The question mark is whether he can go inside and win his own footy, but he’s shown he’s more than capable of getting it on the outside. He averaged 24 disposals per game with Bendigo in the TAC Cup through the year, but missed a lot of footy.
Why: There was once a thought Jaidyn Stephenson might slip to the Tigers with this pick, but all of the late mail suggests he will be taken much earlier. Collingwood, West Coast and Sydney will all pounce before Richmond. It’s therefore best available for the Tigers and O’Brien would be just that.

Knightmare has us taking Allen @ 17, Brander @ 20, Hayes @ 25 and Naish @ 27. I could live with that one of the 3 talls turns out to be a gun?
It has to be a possibility, with all the other kids been talked about between 10 an 16Smoking Aces said:
One things for sure right now.
Phantom draft predictions now mean nothing
Let’s see what the clubs think.

Probably agree - if Brander had slid to pick 15 or 16 then it may have been a different debate I reckon
