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

[Sixpence]

Then don't offer him 700k a year if you think he's shit.

What are you talking about?! I didn't say he was shit, just pointing out that he's a risk.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Knowing us, its already done.

Agree Hawks are good at weaselling themselves in to the ear of contracted player.

 

[citizen-erased]

and have to delist 2 more players and take 2 picks at the end pf the draft. Trading down for points is pretty much not worth it with the new rules.

I wouldn't say 41 is a nothing pick in this draft.

And if it is, wtf are the hawks doing offering 48?

 

[Sixpence]

Perspective
Clay smith - 3 years out. Tears a finals series apart
Dan Menzel - 4 years. Excellent return to football

Wow, 2 examples, I'm sold. It's not like there's a significant host of players who haven't made it or anything.

Hawks have no one to blame but themselves.

They traded their 2016 first round pick to Tom Mitchell. That was their choice. If they still had that pick plus pick 10, this deal would be done. They can't cry that they are offering all they have when they placed another player higher than JOM.

Hawks have made their bed, they have to lie in it now.

We offered a 1st round pick plus 23 and 34 for O'meara. We got Mitchell for one late 1st round pick.

You want us to give up Tom Mitchell, Hill, plus a 1st and 2nd round pick for O'meara ?

 

[Myles]

What are you talking about?! I didn't say he was shit, just pointing out that he's a risk.

No you are whining that we want a 1st and a player who's injury prone yet can happily offer him big bucks and not bat an eyelash.

 

[Furn2]

I wouldn't say 41 is a nothing pick in this draft.

thats not what I'm saying.

clubs now have to have as many list spots as picks. So if they trade one pick (pick 8) for 3 late picks for points for academy players, they will have to delist 2 more players and take 2 picks at the end of the draft e.g. 75+.

None I can think of pursued so heavily

 

[The Donners]

And that he won't hurt other teams at Essendon

Watson
Heppell
O'Meara
Zaharakis
Goddard
Zerrett
Parish
Myers
Stanton
No. 1 draft pick.

I believe if he's fully fit he wouldn't simply just hurt his opponent (or other teams), he'd dominate them.

I'm not sure they'd struggle to find players to delist

Sorry to disturb you BF posters...did anyone mentioned that Essendon are hard to deal with in this thread yet?

 

[Sixpence]

No, I'm pointing out that it's all well and good to want more out of the deal but it's better to take that than lose him for nothing. As for the offer, you may not have noticed, but we've had a bit of success lately so we can afford to take a bit of a risk.

I perfectly understand the reasoning for wanting a player included in the deal, but that seems unlikely unless a third party comes to the table. You need to be a little more flexible.

 

[Dan87]

Tony Sheahan is pretty confident Suns and Swans are talking. What the hell is going on.

Someone slap some sense into me.

Haha cute that you included Goddard in that.

We've evolved into a non-entity in this trade
We have no moneys

He's rehashing twitter talk from Monday, O'Mearas manager has since confirmed he will only go to Hawthorn.

 

[HairyO]

We do it late enough you can't stump up a deal to gcs (whatever you can put together now)
Gives us a few weeks to meet with him and his mgmt
Once he knows he's going to come to us with pick 8, we suggest psd. Makes his new team better

Yep, would be crazy to waste any ND pick on him if you could convince him to walk to the PSD.

Here is my question though... knowing this, why would GCS let him go for free? Doesnt that defeat the entire point of what they are doing?

Next year a GCS player could nominate Essendon and then walk to Hawthorn after it all falls apart.

 

[GET YOUR DUKES OUT]

where you hear mate? a journo? or Bob from across the road, makes a bit of a difference

A hawthorn contact actually.
Doubt it will happen.
Adelaide giving up too much, and pick 10 and Lyons goes against everything GC have been asking for since day 1.
Plus it was reported on SEN tonight that people associated with the Suns were quoted odds of 100-1 for a trade with Hawthorn for O'Meara to go through tomorrow.

Like I said, just telling you what I heard.

How can we be pursuing him so heavily and yet offering massive unders at the same time ?

 

[threesixpio]

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.

None of our players want to go to your coch-stain of a club - not our fault

 

[2DMB]

that trade netted us Carlisle, who we then got Francis for.
Shotgun we took to see if we could fix after you couldn't get his knee right
Hear that Jaeger. couldn't get his knee right.

Yeah we picked up Burgoyne in that trade because Port wouldn't offer him more than one year because of his knee (similar issue to JOM's knee) 7 years and 3 flags later.... Hear that Jager!

 

[Deadly Darcy]

Sorry to disturb you BF posters...did anyone mentioned that Essendon are hard to deal with in this thread yet?

Think we have all realised Dodoro is Mensa level genius, one of footies true genial old school gents and is a constant delight to engage with over the entirety of the trade period...

....at least compared to the Hawforn trade mob who seem determined to vanish up their own arseholes come 2pm tomorrow. Will probably never climb back out through sheer embarrassment.

The lol's, the lol's
