The Tigers, who had pick nine overall, of the 11 selections on offer, opted for the 18-year-old from TAC Cup team Dandenong Stingrays.
O’Hanlon, 189cm and 87kg, had an excellent season, impacting strongly for Dandenong as a medium-sized forward and forcing his way into the Vic Country team at the under-18 national championships.

“Brett is a lead-up forward, who is a strong contested mark and a penetrating left-foot kick. He’s a competitive player, who will always give you a contest and tackle with intent. And, he’s also a smart player, who reads the ball well and makes good decisions once in possession,” said Richmond’s recruiting manager Francis Jackson.
“We are pleased to add Brett to the playing group and feel that, although he is early in his development phase, he has the scope to become a quality AFL player.”
