As O’Sullivan looks ahead to his future in the AFL, he acknowledges the importance of consistency and development. While he has embraced new roles this season, he remains eager to establish himself in the midfield in the years to come, aiming for continuous growth and contribution to his team.
The Rising Star nominations for the 2025 season have highlighted the emerging talent across various clubs, with each nominee showcasing their skills and potential on the field. O’Sullivan’s recognition in round 15 adds to the impressive list of young stars making their mark in the League.
