Traded Jaeger O'Meara [traded to Hawthorn for pick 10 and GWS's 2017 2nd rd pick]

Have been told this was organised in 2015, remains to be seen to be true.
Was told very recently from impeccable sorcerer he JOM will nominate hawks as his preferred club
 
The GC head honcho said they wanted an elite player.
The only way that happens is if they pull a reversee like the Bulldogs did when they lost Griffen so went and poached Boyd in return. Although it hasn't worked out, it was a bold strategy.

No team is going to show up to negotiate a trade for JOM and voluntarily offer up one of their best players.

Just to clarify something - a player cannot go directly into the PSD now. You have to nominate for the ND in order to be picked in the PSD. He'll have financial terms to meet anyway. No one is going to get him for nothing. GC would lose him for nothing if they don't get the trade done, though.

I wasn't aware of those changes. Thanks champ.
 
Hill leaving hawthorn for fremantle will enable a three way trade (along with a draft pick) and salary wont be a problem for a long contract with the hawks ageing midfield stars. Wouldn't be beyond Hodge to retire to enable Jaeger to come to the club, he has always put hawthorn first.
Ummmmmmm........

Hodge, Gibson and Burgoyne have all re-signed for 2017
All 3 have taken pay cuts
Hodge the most
Then Burgoyne
Then Gibson

Hodge has taken a 50% pay reduction from his current contract

Will this finally mean the end of the stupid PSD?

Is laughable to see some teams pass on numerous picks at the end of the ND and then use picks in the PSD.

Would GC take tigers 2016 and 2017 1st rounders and B.Ellis and possibly Conca or Edwards for Prestia and Omera

That's quite the overpay

O'Meara is obviously A-Grade with major health concerns and Prestia is a very good player but not elite.
 
Get over it, you happily took the best player in the comp who we developed and drafted as a father son from us. Players come and go.

Nowhere near the same. Ablett played 192 games for Geelong, part of two premierships, multiple B & F winner. He'd given Geelong everything and had earned the right to move clubs if he wanted to. O'Meara has done SFA so far after the Suns paid top dollar for him. Very soft to ask for a trade.

So much this.

lol at having to earn the right to leave a club. How much loyalty do clubs show to players? You only have to look as far back as yesterday to see North sacking their best player and records gameholder because he's lol too old. The clubs complaining about loyalty are in denial about the conditions that drove these young players to leave.
 
I heard that O'Meara has a girlfriend who comes from Melbourne. If so who do her family support does anybody know as that could be his preferred Club. Seeing as he is still under contract how does it work - presuming the Club in Melbourne who want him will have to come up with a pretty good offer in return.

He doesn't have a contract for next year - out of contract

O'Marea can nominate a club but Gold Coast can trade him to whomever they like. Although players these days seem to be able to get where they want to go by playing the 'refuse to do a medical' card with any other team, so they really can bend over the departing club and the player usually gets to go where they want.

I applaude GC for taking a hard stance, he isn't a free agent and thus shouldn't get to behave like one. If he want's to be difficult he can take his chances in the draft and potentially end up somewhere he doesn't want to be.

Can't he just refuse to do medicals to any club he doesn't want to be at?
 
Yes but that might not stop him being picked in the draft by a club he doesn't wish to go to.

A club would take O'Meara without being able to run any tests on him prior? Very risky with the whole 2 years out and recurring injury problem thing.

Neither will happen so I wouldn't worry too much.

Hypothetically if a trade can't be done with his club of choice

If he nominated the psd he would be almost garanteed to go to essendon with pick one.

If he doesn't want to go to essendon he can nominate the national draft and refuse to take a medical at any other club to ensure he gets to his desired club. see Luke ball as an example.
I called it a few months back watch this space regarding the PSD, its the first time EFC have had the oportunity to benefit from it. Also Lloyd has been all up in JOM for a few months now. Lloyd has said on air "He's a Royals Royce when compared to the other potential young players that may be available this offseason." I guarantee Essendon get JOM in the PSD! Just lock that in right now!

Jaeger is probably why Hurley stays!

Jaeger O'Meara
Number 1 Draft Pick
Good development in the kids
Play with mates
Win Premiership

Jaegars 1st & 2nd season were fantastic - rising star and played every game in that time I think. The last 2 years have been terrible. There is no doubt on his ability but his body has let him down. He is worth 2 first round picks if he had played every game possible to now. But i think now he is worth a 1st round pick and a player at best. The teams that can risk going all in for him just dont have the goods to get it done. Like Hawks can only give there highest pick which is late in the 1st and probably the same next year. And what player wants to go to GC? Someone lile Richmond could have enough to get it done but imagine the fallout if it goes south and Jaeger never plays again? Richmond would implode!

Its going to be another good trade period regardless!
 
Dempsey + Hams + Ashby + #27 --------> JOM

Fair trade for both clubs? Perhaps slightly in GC favor due to JOM'S injury concerns but would do it for the goodwill gesture.

Thoughts?

Post of the year. Everyone else concede nothing will beat this. What does the lad win? By the way did school holidays start early?

This is a pretty significant change to have slipped through this year. Is there actually any announcement or publication of this? Until one is found, I think it's safer to assume the previous years' rules still apply.
 
A reminder that targeting a poster's club with trolling over their trading or drafting history is against the D&T board rules.

Feel free to familiarize yourself with the full set here.

Uh no that's not right.
