Nah. Apparently Dermott Brereton saw a lot of Ollie playing junior footy. He reckons Ollie is the best player at reading the ball off a ruck's hand he's seen in a long while. He reckons his take and burst through a pack is the best he's ever seen. So this is what we got him for not to sit rotting on the HB line. The boy will be a masterful mid when he gets to play there. Remember a little bloke, not too popular with us, who plays for GWS who was a sensational mid before being moved to permanent forward? that's right Toby green had that knock of reading the hand of the ruck and then just bursting, still does it as a forward.
