If the Melbourne media think Lynch is worse than Cameron and Hogan then we'll happily keep him . If it wasn't for Carlton and Essendon being so poor a lot of them would put the Suns as wooden spoon favorites. I'm going to enjoy watching them change their minds when Lynch and the Suns are having an awesome year.[/QUOTE
This year Lynch will be the better of the 3 with some silver service from the midfield.
Anyone that is serious about their footy should know that a fit GC, under Eade, will be knocking on the door of the 8 in no time. I would go as far to say that 10th this year & finals next year should be the benchmark without having a ceiling( think the Eagles turn of form).
Any1 copy the Herald Suns article on O'Meara here please.
I've used all my free articles
It's called 'Suns brace for Jaeger bombshell'
JAEGER O’Meara’s manager will meet with Gold Coast on Wednesday as he seriously considers a move to a Melbourne club next year.
The star Gold Coast midfielder is desperate to focus on his football this year and seems likely to park his contract until midyear at best.
The Herald Sun reported last September he seemed destined to leave the Suns, having bought a property in Melbourne as he considered his next step.
West Australian O’Meara has a Melbourne-based girlfriend with a new job in advertising who shares his Prahran apartment.
He could write his own cheque for a new start at a Victorian team but has not solicited offers and will instead spend his season focusing on football.
At this stage it would take a significant change of mind for him to consider a long-term contract on the Gold Coast.
Clubs including Carlton, Richmond and Hawthorn would be expected to come hard at O’Meara if he announces his departure.
The Suns received a huge shot in the arm with news star forward Tom Lynch was keen to stay on a new three-year deal.
But while Lynch has always been wedded to the Gold Coast, 21-year-old O’Meara is destined to play football in a big city.
He has no desire to move back to Perth and spent large chunks of the off-season in Melbourne.
O’Meara took on work experience with Fox Footy last year and even took part in a leadership conference on the Mornington Peninsula.
The Gold Coast hopes its new medical and sports science structure and $22 million permanent training and administration base being built will help add to their retention strategy.
Industrious midfielder Dion Prestia has also been contacted by most Melbourne clubs and will assess his options during the season.
Gold Coast football boss Marcus Ashcroft said late last year the Suns believed they could retain the star trio.
‘’We are always confident. I know, having seen the boys here when we had the on-field performances go the way they did sometimes, it can be hard to stay motivated,” he said.
‘’But once we put things in place and the pre-season is in full swing, we have the right people in place to give them what they need and that will roll into them wanting to be at our footy club.
‘’The proof will be in the pudding, but we are supremely confident we have the right people and structures to give them the very best.”
Yet the very same paper mentioned no more than 2 days ago that confidence in Jaeger staying has grown.
The question is which clubs has 2x firts rounders to offer if he were to leave? If it were to happen GC would want a Treloar type deal as a minimum IMO.
A interesting thread open now on Trading Jäeger
