What makes you think O'Rourke is gone? As far as I know he hasn't exactly set the world on fire at AFL or NEAFL level so it's hard to say if he's guaranteed senior game time elsewhere (from his point of view) and it depends how GWS see it, perhaps they want to extract some value while he's still got it (from a Giants list management point of view).
He played reasonably well on the weekend, at least. Hopefully he really comes on, good kid and should complement Treloar, Greene and Shiel well if he can move into that role.
Loved that tweet from Shaw, too. Liked that 'whitten oval - Google Maps' was open in the next tab - just doing his homework to find out which suburb the Western Bulldogs' home ground is in (gee people have short memories!)
JOR has talent, you don't get to be #2 draft pick in a talent loaded draft if you don't have it.
He is a slower developer than some of our guys, and because we are trying to get game time into as many as possible, those that develop faster get more game time right now.
