THE BLUES have selected Finbar O’Dwyer with pick No.66 in this year’s 2018 NAB AFL Draft.
Representing the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup competition, O’Dwyer has been described as a lively 190cm forward who can prove troublesome for the opposition’s defence. His reading of the game as well as his agility are his assets.
Boarding at Xavier College for the last three years, O’Dwyer was one of 126 players invited to participate in the state-based combine testing sessions, as part of the 2018 AFL Combine.
Welcome to Carlton, Finbar O'Dwyer!

GM of List Management and Strategy Stephen Silvagni said he was delighted O’Dwyer will call Ikon Park home in 2019.
“Fin has a great set of hands both in the air and at ground level, and he’s also got pace and agility for a player standing at 188cm,” Silvagni said.
