Who know what about this one?
Very high draft pick.
A few injuries.
Should we be pleased?
Interesting that Cal Twomey saying that not many clubs would have taken O'Rourke at #2 that year. GWS took him there to keep all three of the Vic boys (Whitfield #1, O'Rourke #2, Plowman #3) together to try and keep them at the club for the future.
Has had quite a few injuries (broken jaw and hammies) but talent is still there obviously.
he hasn't really shown anything nothing to be excited about but u might have got him cheap
Got him at basement value, can't be disappointed with that imo.

Yeah no way, I remember having him go at around pick 8-12.
Yeah, but if he can stay fit, I'm sure the Hawks can get the best out of him.

I wouldn't say we got him dirt cheap. If he becomes something we'll look back on it as a steal, if not then it will really hurt.
I would have preferred the picks frankly. Just hope Graham has steered us in the right direction again and I'll have to eat my words.
I didn't have him in the top 15 players in his draft crop when he was drafted and he's shown nothing to suggest that I was wrong. Don't be seduced by his draft history, he's not a pick 2.
TBH I would have rather kept pick 19 in this year's strong draft crop. If Cockatoo goes at pick 19 you boys will be taught a harsh lesson for many years to come.
meow meow yeah yeah ::) ::)
Yeah not sure about this one, obviously has talent but hasn't shown much at this level yet. Hopefully a change of scenery is good for him.
Jon O'Hawk ;)

O'Rouke is a solid footballer, but he doesn't appear to have any outstanding attributes. He is good at pretty much everything, but not elite at anything.
