I'm sure GCS would say "fine, if you don't think he's worth it, we're happy to keep him anyway."

It's not a fire sale; if anyone wants O'Meara, they're going to have to pay for him like he isย fit or they simply won't get him.

Unless you are the Dons and he goes into the PSD.

    Correct. So only one of our best mids, Tyson was traded for. Now some will throw in Bernie as well, but I was making a general point.

    I agree with the general point Red but during the last few years it would have been incredibly hard to get a player to agree on a trade to us.

    Im sure if options were available that were rumoured we definitely would have traded some picks.

    This time however it feels like our selections were a bit more solid.... Or so far anyways.

    Im a massive Jaeger fan, even his name sounds cool. But definitely not worth rolling the dice on for me unless with was for some player/s who desperately wanted out which I can't see being the case

    But what I like about all this O'Meara hype is that some desperate and idiotic club will pay way overs for him, the Suns' midfield will be weakened, another opposition club will bloat their salary cap and enable us to go after the players that we need to fill the final few holes. And most likely, O'Meara will never be able to string together a full season at AFL level.

    Hmmm ... two top ten picks or equivalent, and $700K p.a., for someone who has been out injured for 2 whole seasons?

    Now which club could possiblyย be that desperate & idiotic??? ...

    I actually think he'll end up at Hawthorn. They can afford to take that risk. They almost have to take that risk, given their aging stars.

    Agree but I'm not sure where they'll get the picks from. ย Freo aren't going to give them pick 3 for Hill.

    Maybe this year's 1st and next year's 1st but they won't be < pick 10.

    It depends how much they think he'll get back on the park. If they think it's worth it, they might just trade a player or two that could get them the required picks. Orย the Suns may just have to accept two late first rounders for him.

    Players like who? ย Hill apparently is on the table to Freo butย that would mean Freo's 2nd rounder e.g. ~21.

    They might have to look at someone like Whitecross, Hartung or Shiels. That is, I repeat, if they believe O'Meara's knee will hold up.

    None of them deliver a top 10 pick, they're like Hill.

    Look I agree with you - the Hawks will be desperate to trade their way out of theitr impending cliff but it's not going to be easy.

    Yep, I'm lost and the fact that they don't have a couple of fringers that could be bundled together for a first rounder is telling, IMO.

    I agree. It'll be a team that can afford to take the risk.ย

    They won't get 2 first round picks. This is their starting point. ย It's like any deal, the two parties start at opposite ends of the spectrum and then work toward an agreed middle ground. ย 

    My guess is, if he is traded, it'll end up being a 1st round and a second, or a first round and a third. No club will risk 2 first round picks on someone with such a question mark on fitness. ย 

    Imagine Rocket came out and said, we're only looking for a 2nd round pick for Jaeger. ย It's all just media games at this stage.

    I think the Hawks are about 1 year off having a North Melbournesque fall. ย 

    O'Meara is one player, they need to replace 4-5 champions. ย It's not going to happen.

    Yeah, I think they're about a year behind North too. But they're an arrogant football club remember and when clubs get arrogant (Essendon, Melbourne of the 60'sย and Hawthorn and Geelong now), they tend to believe their own spin.ย 

    I hope and think they will go for O'Meara.

    They'll be hitting FA very hard, that's their best course of action, but there doesn't appear to be much there this year.

    Is Fyfe a FA at the end of next year?

    Next years first round pick and a class player from our list and possibly $600000 will most likely get him. It's so worth it. He'll be our best player for 8 - 10 years.ย

    He won't get on the park, mate. He's barely played AFL footy. I wouldn't give up a Salem/class player from our list for an injury-riddled O'Meara. I'm sorry, I just wouldn't and I don't think the MFC will entertain it either.

    I wouldn't swap Oliver or Petracca or Brayshaw or Viney for him. Would you?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
