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

We have a seriously good player now, but we are only offered pick 10 and 48 for him.

Is out of contract, doesn't want to play for you or live in QLD anymore, hasn't played in 2 years & has suspect knees.

Gee I wonder why Hawthorn are offering him 700k a year then? Hmm I don't know, let me think about that. You guys says he's injured but are willing to trade away 2 club legends and offer him crazy money but complain when GC ask for a 1st round pick and a player for him. Absolutely insane.
 
You don't build a winning team by losing good players for nothing! You can get a seriously good player for pick 10. A player that can be used in trades in upcoming years. Take note of what GWS has done. They've been palming off good young players for the last few years and are now in premiership contention. They don't posture about making a stand, they just get the job done.
You don't built it by letting bullies poach your players for **** all either

Picks 10 and 48 is pretty fair for a guy who hasn't played in 2 years and have injury concerns. Picking him up is a risk, one we're seemingly prepared to take but still a risk. Bit much to ask for more than that.

Not to mention, if he ends up at Essendon, you won't 'have a seriously good player now'. And if Essendon don't, are you really going to re-draft a player that doesn't want to play for you? It's not like he's just trying his luck on a trade and will happily stay if it doesn't pan out. If he's going to the ND, he clearly doesn't want to play for you.
 
We can end up with complete egg on our face out of this or complete geniuses so we're in the middle will be a ok outcome
But we took a big risk for big reward
At the expense of a young players career and two legends of your club, awesome thinking by your admin you would have to agree
 
Get lost hawthorn, make them pay the price he is worth. Just because hawthorn have wrecked the own trade period. Make them suffer for their arrogance. Stand firm gcs
 
Also requires them to know how much they need to save in advance.

When the Swans made the Buddy offer the AFL didnt even tell Hawthorn or GWS the details becauase they said it was more than either club could afford.

They get 24 hours to match so will need the warchest ready in advance.

Assuming the player wants to take it. You that confident Fyfe wants out? Or Martin?

I commend the club for the opportunities they have given Jordan and Sam would love to still have them but all class by Clarko from my point of view
What young persons career ?

When we trade 10, Hartung & 48 to Brizzy for Pick 3, Gold Coast will pay a very high price indeed.:thumbsu:

If the Lions rejected Hartung and another spud for pick 23 they're not going to drop seven spots at the top of the draft for him.
 
Yet to see a sensible way to see any club getting pick 8.

GCS wont use their picks on him, unlikely Freo would, Essendon certainly wont, GWS wont, so that leaves Port?

Given the coach's job on the line would he take a punt? I doubt it.
Hibberd pick (29)
41
2017 2nd (say 23-27)

They get 2-300 pts
We get 8

What for you wasting multiple draft picks, trading your 1st and 2nd in your last B&F, getting rid of a club legend all because of one player who may or may not recover from his injuries. Go right ahead, I'd like to see both Queensland teams doing well and you'd just be accelerating that process.
