El oh el. And what happens to their aging midfield when O'Meara struggles to get on the park and they've spent $2mill on him?

    They permanently move to Tasmania

    I will admit I was smitten with O'meara pre injuries. He looked like a brownlow medallist of the future.

    But I'm not willing to sacrifice our future for him. Way too risky. His knees won't hold out for another 200 games,I can't see him playing another 10 years of quality football.

    So North will offer Pick 11 this year and what will likely be Pick 2 next year??

    Who have you got below them? Brissy has a good run with injuries they probably win more games :P 

    In all seriousness, if they do get him that is fantastic for them - their first A grader since Harvey, its only been 20 years. Also glad to see them cripple themselves. Hopefully Richmond have to pay 2 picks for Prestia as well, and Freo pay through the roof for Hill, McCarthy, and Lobb.

    Brisbane at this stage.  But once trade period & draft are done then you take another look.

    Didn't want to over-commit and say they'll be last this early.

    Chasing O'Meara, was such an obvious headline, after the shambles of Wednesday.

    O'meara would be a huge asset to any teams rehab group.

    GCS have drawn a line in the sand, Big time.  O'Meara has asked for a trade. 

    GCS have said he is NOT and FA so does not have the right to nominate a club.

    Therefore they will entertain offers. 

    Its about time a club stood up and said a player cannot call the shots and walk to where they want to go!

    The risk I see with O'Meara is not the first round pick and steak knives he would cost, but the contract. He is just asking for too much money and long a contract for a player who hasn't played for two years.

    O'meara will just say no to every club other than the one he wants to go to and then enter the draft with a big pricetag on his head so he gets through to them. 

    the GC are going to achieve nothing outside of running the risk of losing him for nothing.

    Yes, that is what Luke Ball did. 

    Or he could do the decent thing like Judd and Dangerfield and ensure GCS get fair trade value.  How he plays it will say something about the character and integrity of O'Meara.

     

    The news wouldn't be a surprise but for some reason Eade sounded really angry.  Something has blindsided him.

    Will be interesting if O'meara chooses Ess who have the 1st pick in the Preseason Draft and they pick him up there, for nothing.  Given how the AFL are bending over backwards and changing rules to help the drug cheats climb the ladder quickly they would sit back and play it like 3 wise monkeys.   

    I watch this trade with interest!

    I would laugh so hard if the Bombers offered up pick 1 for O'meara and Prestia and ripped him out of Richmonds clutches!

    Not sure Judd was of great character either...

    I meant Ess could get O'Meara for a PSD pick and not their main draft #1 pick.

    Maybe not but he did the right thing by WCE to ensure they got a fair trade.  If I recall - an early rnd 1 pick and Josh Kennedy.  That showed some character and integrity in my book - a lot more than Luke Ball who just crapped on the Saints who got nothing.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
