Report Card: Mid-Season (Round 11) - by Dave68

O’Bree is in good form in my opinion despite constant criticism. Shane will never have good skills and will never be damaging. Would he fit in with other teams midfields? Probably not. However it is important to consider that with Collingwood’s current midfield, we need players with genuine ball winning abilities. He has this. Ranked 7th for disposal with 195 and leads the tackling table with 45, 7 clear of Licuria. Was vitally important against Hawthorn where he notched up 28 touches and won clearances against Mitchell who was dominating. Continues to do his job. Will never be a champion but is in good touch at the moment.

Fan Files: Player Profile: by Johnson#26
 

2005:
O’Bree was average until round 19, where he set Subiaco alight, scorching the Dockers in the first term with nine possessions in the first stanza. After that, his season petered out, making season 2005 possibly a make-or-break year.

2004:
After spending two years at Brisbane, O’Bree became a Collingwood player in 2000 and impressed as a running midfielder. He began the season well before tapering off towards the finish. His best game came against Carlton in round three, when he won three Brownlow votes for his efforts.
2001 was O’Bree’s best season, where he became a recognised player. He was a dominant player almost all season until slowing down late in the season.
In 2002, O’Bree’s season was marred by hamstring injuries and he never really got going. Despite trying hard in the Grand Final, he was still below his best.
In 2003, O’Bree was used as a crumbing forward to great effect, as he scored 19 goals, including a four goal haul against the Bulldogs. O’Bree’s AFL career wavered dangerously in 2004, as he was over taken for midfield positions by Lockyer and McGough.
Despite a good showing against Port in round 6, where he collected 38 possessions and laid 8 tackles, O’Bree was still under performing. In round 10, O’Bree injured a knee and missed the next three weeks.
