Not for the first time in his six-year career, Jono O'Rourke struggled with a hamstring injury that cut his season to just six VFL appearances last season. A much-vaunted footballer throughout his junior career, he has failed to live up to the hype as a Giant or Hawk. Perpetual discontinuity has hurt O'Rourke's form and consistency, regularly dropping below 15 touches at VFL level. With Jaeger O’Meara and Kieran Lovell amongst those seeking greater roles in the midfield, gaining a spot in his preferred role is not easy. He will go undrafted in 2018.
Put a fork in O'Rourke
