Surely Jaeger O'Meara is worth a look?

Probably the only real need at the moment is outside polish and real class depending on how much his contract is and what Hawthorn will accept. 

Maybe the Hawks will agree to pay part of his salary?

He's a good player, but I don't think we will have the coin for him.

Sounds like we will be giving Jackson a decent deal. Plus we will need money for guys like Rivers, Pickett and Sparrow in a year or two.

There's only so many A grade type players you can have on a list due to the salary cap and in the middle we have two genuine A+ players in Trac and Oliver.

Very good player 

but 

injury prone 

costs $$$$$s

we don’t really have room on the list numbers 

we don’t have trade picks or players as currency 

salary cap tight at MFC with younger stars needing extra $$ in future 

 

so it’s a no ED793D07-ABE6-4D6B-96FD-1C4D8F2FA6BE.gif.fca1b4171f31ddc03a27ad922ddff0ba.gif

Yeah thats why I’m saying if they are willing to pay part of his contract 

we are in the window of winning multiple flags, doubt any first rounder is going to give great value next season offer 1st round pick and they potentially pay 150-200k of his salary 

jaegar very different to dunstan 

did u see jaegar against us this year

was awesome in that drawn game

He is average or the Hawks would not be looking to off load him.

The Hawks off loaded Clarkson, I don't think they know what they are doing.

Jaeger O'Meara is another one of those footballing tragedies.  In his first years it looked as if he could be the comps best player.  Super agility,  speed and class.  Injury has brought him back to the pack.  He is just another goodish midfielder now.

Not for us.

12 contested possessions, 15 uncontested. 70% efficiency. 6 clearances. 335m gained.

He has a good balance to his game but I wouldn’t exactly call him outside polish and real class.

The Hawks player to chase if we wanted to really go all in would be Wingard. He can go between forward and the midfield and offers a bigger point of difference to what we currently have.

But without all the details I think sticking to who we have, taking care of our current players and keeping our future options open is probably the way to go.

O'Meara is a quality player but we don't have room for him.  He has never played in a good side so I don't think people realise how good he is.  Other teams in the comp should be going hard for him such as Freo.

I'm not against the idea of getting Jaeger O'Meara to the Demons. But I wouldn't want to give up more than a third round draft pick or to pay him much. I think he would be on decent coin at the Hawks.

Nevertheless, I doubt Hawthorn would be that desperate to do that and give him away cheap...even if they are having a fire sale on a few of their players.

We just got Luke Dunstan for nothing and Dunstan is one accurate kick per game short of being as good as O'Meara.

Expensive and unnecessary.

But at least I get an excuse to bring out my favourite picture of him;

I may be biased and one-eyed but I can’t think of one player in our premiership team that I would want to replace with a player from another club. To take a ridiculous example: if Dusty was available, who would we replace with him? Not Oliver or Petracca - they are as good as him or better. Sparrow? - Dusty is certainly a better player but Sparrow had a particular role as a blocker/pressure player which is a role Dusty could not play. Same with Viney, or Harmes, or any of them. Each player we have is perfect for the role they are asked to play.

 

Yes, it is a ridiculous example. I am sure we would fit him in somewhere! But a lesser player like O’Meara -why bother?

Def worth a look. Then put him back on the shelf and move on.

I'd swap TMac for Harry McKay or either of the King twins if you twisted my arm.

Wingard is the one I’d be scratching around. Has had his problems but he is a match winner.
 

Only on the cheap though because, well, because we just won the flag and you get good stuff for cheap when you’re the reigning premier I’m led to believe.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
