How do we get Jeager O'Meara?

Who cares. Bigger fish to fry at the moment ...

There's plenty of time post season for that stuff.

Convince GWS to trade him to us. Or if TS goes, convince the AFL to convince GWS to trade him to us.

Wrong. The early bird gets the worm and I believe the club should be looking closely at the mini draft. There are four All Australian Under 18s among the nominations and Jaeger O'Meara looks like a very good prospect. With the uncertainty about Tom Scully and the possibility of additional draft picks and players available for trading means we are in with a chance to claim a top notch youngster for our list.

We should never take our eyes off the ball when it comes to recruiting.

These are the players who nominated by yesterday's 2pm deadline: 

Chase Bower (Norwood, SA), Adam Carter (South Fremantle, WA), Brad Crouch (North Ballarat Rebels, Vic), Dayle Garlett (Swan Districts, WA), Brodie Grundy (Sturt, SA), Matthew Haynes (Northern Knights, Vic), Riley Hutchinson (East Perth, WA), Emmanuel Irra (South Adelaide, SA), Ben Kennedy (Glenelg, SA), Aaron Loccon (Norwood, SA), Sean Lynch (South Fremantle, WA), Todd McKay (South Adelaide, SA), Jaeger O'Meara (Dongara/ Railways, WA), Jonathan O'Rourke (Calder Cannons, Vic), Jason Pongracic (Dandenong Stingrays, Vic), Mason Shaw (South Fremantle, WA), Josh Simpson (North Adelaide, SA), Jake Stringer (Bendigo Pioneers, Vic), Shannon Taylor (Claremont, WA), Jimmy Toumpas (Woodville West Torrens, SA), Nick Vlastuin (Northern Knights, Vic), Matt Wallis (Norwood, SA), Laine Wilkins (Peel Thunder, WA), Daniel Williamson (Norwood, SA), Christopher Yarran (Perth, WA).

I'm sure Prendergast and Harrington will be all over this already.

IMHO ... I reckon Fremantle, Port & now Adelaide are in the box seat to get these kids.

1/ Fremantle to lose Palmer ... CP going back to GWS

2/ Port maybe to do a deal on pick 4 ... puts GWS in a strong seat with picks 1,2,3,4,5

3/ Adelaide have lost Davis ... CP going back to GWS (only a 50/50 at this stage)

4/ Keep 1 pick up their sleeve for the following year.

Essentially then GWS lose kids they would never have taken because of the go home factor ie 1 x WA kid and 2 x SA kids

GWS would also become the "default power broker" in every deal in 2011 where clubs cant agree ... massive "leverage" position for them to be in.
