For O'Meara!

Really? This is an astounding post. O'Meara is a 22 year old with a degenerative knee condition that averages 21 disposals. He hasn't played for two years.

Tyson is averaging 25 disposals and is becoming one of our most important players. Hunt off the half back flank is almost just as valuable. Stretch is 19 and is already averaging 19 disposals - the kid will be a gun. I'd consider trading Salem, but not for O'Meara. For a player of Brad Crouch's ilk, who is able to get on the park.

Have you guys watched O'Meara play? Hunt, Stretch and Tyson aren't in his league. I want a Premiership, nothing else matters

He's a handy player Roost It but the 3 blokes you've mentioned above are on the park every week and developiing very nicely.

If we are good enough to win a flag in the next decade, I'm tipping all 3 of those guys will be playing, and playing well.

You're attached to our players, that's understandable. However I don't care who plays in our next Premiership for us as long as we win one. O'Meara is a cut above all those players and I would readily trade one of them for him

This might sound silly but before he got his injury he was also on the park nearly every week IIRC. Didn't he play every game early for his first couple seasons??

I know nothing about the injury or recovery time but if it's something that's expected to heal 100% then I would hope we are at least asking the question.

Do injuries like this continue to occur once they have began?

You're judging O'Meara on what he was, not what he now is.

He's been out of the AFL scene for 2 years now, so no-one knows what he is capable of now.

Name the last guy who played in a Premiership, after two years out of the game with a cracked Patella?

This is exactly why he's tradeable for mine too. But only for the right price. O'Meara isn't it.

Er, no. Hunt, Stretch, Tyson & Salem (and Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Weid) still have massive upside to come. This is not the case with O'Meara. We'd be crazy to trade any of them before we know more about where their ceiling is likely to be.

Can understand why you'd believe that the grass must be greener on the other side of the fence, though.

You're offering one of them PLUS our 2017 1st rounder! Imprudent.

O'Meara is a class above the average player and we would be silly not to consider him. Judd, Stevie Johnson and many others have had major knee issues but played brilliant footy. Maybe O'Meara can too.

But that is not my concern. Hunt, Stretch, Tyson, Oliver etc... are playing great team footy. Why would we want to stuff that up? We are playing a brand of team footy that looks like it will pass the test of finals,  if and when we get there. To break something that works to bring in something that MIGHT work is poor decision making. If we can give something like a Grimes and a future 1st rounder, well maybe yes, but I don't want to mess with what we have currently working.

Judd had a brownlow by 22.

Did Cooney have the exact same injury but?

Just want to make sure we arent comparing apples with oranges. If Cooneys injury was the same than no way we would be interested but if it's a likely 100% recovery than I'd be asking what the price would be.

For once, or medical team would be all over his knee problems. If he has recovered and the price is within reach, we'd be cray cray not to consider it.

Rocket wants 2 top 10 picks. He will want at least the same as Prestia. $3.5 m over 5 years. 

We still have to sign a handy player.

I would under no circumstances trade Dom Tyson or Jayden Hunt, Tyson has finally hit a consistent run of good form and will keep getting better, i still believe he'll be the best of our midfielders. 

Jayden Hunt just adds so much to the side and his scope for improvement is insane.

I'd also consisder Billy Stretch and Christian Salem untouchable unless an insanely good offer came along.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
