Jaegar O'Meara

Featured Replies

GC want a player of the same ilk...

Trenners for O'meara.

Both highly rated juniors both had great starts to their careers both been injury riddled and struggled to get on the park in the past two years. 

Clearly I am joking but their asking price is way too high... a decent first round pick and steak knives should be the going price... but who knows what a desperate melbourne based club would offer to land a 'star'

 

Wouldn't be surprised if we sit back and wait to see if this gets drawn out a bit, then get involved if the front-runners, reported to be the Hawks, Nth, Ess and Saints. While he has had 1 really bad injury, his first 2 years were up with the best first 2 years played by anyone, so if he can get to those levels again he'd be a great pick up. Massive IF, but if the medical team think he's good to go and everyone else stalls maybe we could swoop in with the 2017 first rounder plus one of or a combination of Dunn, Garland, ANB, Avdb etc.

An injury prone , non proven player who drinks his own bathwater methinks. I agree with the club, they have looked after him and he does this.

I wouldn't entertain any thoughts of getting him. I think he might be done. TWO bad knee injuries! 

Caveat Emptor with this one!

Hope we don't have our own Jaeger story. Then again he is following his girlfriend to Melbourne and ours has a Melbourne girl.

These guys know who they are going to when they say they are leaving, then they usually get there. I hope it is not the Hawks, but at least they will be made to pay, or the Bombers, who could get him PSD for nothing. Both of those scenarios upset me. Then again, he may never be the player he was again.

GC17 saying they're after players & not picks for O'Meara and they want a player of the same ilk.

Salem & Garland for O'Meara & a late pick coming back.

Yes?  No?  Not enough?

Not enough.  Garland is useless to them with May and Thompson holding down the key posts, and while I rate Salem highly, he hasn't done enough at senior level as yet to be that 'quality' player they are after.

If we went to them looking to get O'Meara, I could see them asking for an Oliver, Brayshaw or Petracca in return, which of course we wouldn't do.


Just bear in mind WJ's post of about 2 years ago, about how serious the injury to O'Meara is.

The problem with going to Hawthorn from a manager's point of view is that their client won't be on as much coin as would be on offer elsewhere. If I was a manager, I'd also be advising my client that Hawthorn look to be on the way down. They'll still play finals next year, but then that might be it for them. So if you go off to Hawthorn now, you might be stuck in two years time without much midfield help and in rebuild mode.

I'm just not sure the lure to Hawthorn is as great as it was. Even 12 months ago. This year they've showed their aging list has caught up with them a bit.

It doesn't have to be as great as it was, as they are still a great club and clearly a destination club.

Don't get me wrong. I still think he'll probably end up at Hawthorn, but it's not the smartest move from him. He certainly won't 'sure up' his future with a move to Hawthorn.

Would Trengove and ANB for O'Meara work?

A bloke we are thinking of getting rid of and a small bloke who hasn't made it, for a bloke Tim Watson described, as possibly ending up being the best mid to play AFL .

Yep that should do it.

When fit O'Meara is a gun, when was the last time a club packaged together a number of players who can't even get a game and traded them for a gun player?

No club is going to do a deal consisting of receiving in return a good player and 'steak knives.'

Some suggestions are embarrassing.

That is the big unknown here.

It is but GC see him as a star and they won't trade him for less than a first round pick or a top player in return. Suggestions of packaging together players who can't even get a game for us is just being silly.

I dont know why people are even bothering to come up with scenarios that see us land him. Massive injury risk and the current owners wont part with him for steak knives, which is all we would offer. I wouldnt part with any of our current kids, other than the fringe players who wont have nearly enough value anyway.

He wont be coming to us unless we are prepared to part with one of our best young players..... and why the hell would we when we are trying to get them all to stay together? 

Move along, nothing to see here.

 

Luke Ball showed the way to circumvent being forced into the draft. You just say I want $900,000 for one year and then I will walk. You then go to the Club of your choice and do an extension for minimum dollars so it averages out to a normal contract.

Given GCs demand of an 'elite' player in return, what would the Hawks need to offer? Rioli? 


Wow, that went to [censored] quickly. I was trying to line up future potential and rough chances of meeting potential. I think O'meara's a massive risk, while Trenners ceiling isn't quite so high but neither is the risk. ANB as GCS have plenty of outside run, I'd imagine he'd provide some extra grunt to get the ball to them. He has a big upside, he just isn't what we need at this moment.

Point taken though, and upper cut self-administered. Moot point now anyway with JT signing on again. Good news.

Just as a matter of interest, are there other players that have been traded with similar injury histories? I'd say Mitch Clark, but can't recall others. I can't see GCS getting anywhere near what they're asking for, but you never know I guess.

O'Meara ain't worth a Zac.

 

Roos, Bombers, Blues , Saints and Hawks said to be the clubs chasing him. Tigers also mentioned in separate piece on sport news.

Allegedly he has seen the Roos Doctor, who has allegedly declared he can cure him in 14 days. Praise the Lord.

PS. Sorry I think the reference to the North Doctor is to David Swallow, not O'Meara.

I don't want us to sell out our future for somebody who may never able to be better than just above average, but I would'nt mind it if we were a third-party in a deal where say Jaegar ends up at Hawthorn. A possible scenario could be:

Hawthorn get O'Meara

Gold Coast get Melb2017 1st rounder, somebody like Gunston/ Hartung/ Smith

Melbourne get Hawks2016 1st rounder

If this were to happen, then hopefully the trade would take place after we've completed the Hibberd trade . Acquiring pick 14-18 and Hibberd for our second rounder would lay the foundation for a successful draft/ trade period.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.
