Always a shame to see someone unable to handle life and I think quite soon his life will become much harder when his talent no longer provides the income he needs.
Happens in all walks of life some people's make up is such that they finish up in heaps of trouble. I am reminded years ago I was working in NZ and there was this gun welder, was paid an insane amount of money and lost it within hours betting each week.
Saw him many years latter lying in a gutter life in disarray brought him a meal and a pot of tea.
I don't think O'Conner is spoilt I think more he just can't control himself and never will.
I think he is easily led, tries to fit in, be part of the gang etc and he hasn't had the proper guidance from a very young age when he first started out, like most sportsmen / women who have good family support around them.
He has been on his own travelling all the time from a very young age, mixing in with all types of people etc. He has been Ill advised and I would be getting rid of the Manager for a start, he is there for the $$$$ only and start fresh. Get some family support around him. I would love to see him back playing here, he has too much talent to see wasted. But after some counselling and getting his life in order
