There's a time in your life when you wake up on someone's floor, somewhere, with a foreign object protruding from an orifice. It's a watershed moment. When it happens, you realise on some metaphorical level that you can never go home again.
The lesson for the CFC is not that Ollie is tainted by a Geelong upbringing, but that we didn't do enough to make him a different person.
He left with the same haircut that he arrived with. He left with the same oafish and doe-eyed look that he arrived with.
At the very least he needed a makeover, or some cosmopolitan adventurism which wouldn't raise an eyebrow in Smith St but which could deny him entry to the Australian Wool Museum, like studded denim shorts paired with a midriff top.
We made it too easy for Ollie to go home again.
