Zac O'BRIEN

2015 Digest:   Project ruckman. Played as a 19-year-old last year for Calder Cannons. Had groin and ankle issues so couldn’t get consistency. Scored 99.75 on his ENTER and studied biomedicine at Melbourne Uni last year.

2015 NAB Cup:   Mature-aged midfielder has been strong at NEAFL level but has slipped back in pecking order after club’s off-season recruiting drive.
