Toast Jaeger O'Meara 50 Games and beyond...

Wasn't he supposed to be the "worst trade of all time" though? Kane Cornes told me so

It was the worst trade of all time.


For the Suns.

I’d sell the farm for a pot of gold...again and again!

Just watched this about 10 times in a row. Watch Jaeger subtly change his line of running before Morrison got to it, as if he had some precognition about how the play would pan out - then successfully weaved between 3 opponents to score the goal.

You can’t ******* teach that. What an absolute star.

TRADE CALL NOT AGEING WELL

WHEN you give forthright opinions for a living inevitably some will come back to haunt you.

But even in that context, this is a doozy. Kane Cornes might wish he had his time over after smashing the Hawks 10 months ago for the Jaeger O'Meara deal.

"I think it could turn out to be one of the worst trades of all time," Cornes said on AFL Trade Radio, citing O'Meara's repeated knee problems.

"What they gave up for him, the Hawks, what they’re paying in terms of salary, I think it’s going to be a disaster."

O'Meara played just six games in his first season as a Hawk and the team missed the finals for the first time in eight years.

But it's not looking so bad now, with Hawthorn on the verge of a remarkable top-four finish and O'Meara playing 18 of 20 games. To top it off, the former Sun kicked the sealing goal against Geelong on Saturday.

"The whole club rebuild is extraordinary," Jay Clark said in this week's SuperFooty Podcast.

"How many people tried to lay into this football club for the Jaeger O'Meara trade? How's that looking at the moment? They just know what they're doing, you've got to back them in."

The Hawks gave up pick 10 and a second-rounder to get the injury-prone midfielder at the end of 2016.

i think gold coast should be spewing worth 3 first rounders and 2 players easily

Anyone have Kanes phone number? I'd love to hear what he has to say now

hit him up on twitter but seems to be the kind of bloke that would ignore you or block you

I actually like Kane.

Will respond to most stuff on Twitter and he's not a blocker.

Gives a lot but takes it too.

Was horribly wrong on this call though

He's a true shock journo, lives by the sword and dies by it. Good sense of humour though.

 

[Slysh]

He replies with 'early days'... But it isn't too early to call it potentially the worst trade of all time a year ago, what a flog! From that reply one would almost think he is one of the flogs that hope Jaeger doesn't reach his potential.

He's right it is early days.

JOM will get alot better than what we are seeing now.

Needs to get around Slobbo...******* mutt

I remember a clip of Jaeger talking about his limited ability to train, and that something he learned from Gary Ablett training on the Gold Coast was to train with high intensity, or don't train at all.

Lately I've been pondering the pickups of Mitchell and O'Meara, and how our expectation was to secure two gun midfielders for the next 10 years. We're almost two years in, and it looks like our expectations could be blown out of the water. The upward trend of both these players is incredibly exciting, and is headed well into Cotchin/Martin, Selwood/Dangerfield territory. We could end up with the best two midfielders in the competition, although Sydney fans will never admit it!

On the contrary, my dad’s a mad south Melb supporter. He was furious when I told him the hawks were into Tom. Devastated when the trade was done, and gobsmacked that it was for pick 14.

Only internet nuffies doubt(ed) him.

Somewhat fittingly kicks the sealer against the arch rival.

Sold the farm, indeed.

Pick 45 kicked the sealer against the other arch rival last week. Good times.

Hawks and saints are so far the winners.
If only Cockarse had used logic, rather than be offended. Did more harm than good for his club!

Agreed.
As long as isn't injured he will be the best player in our team next year and going forward, by a fair way as well I.M.O

Correct weight. Glory days await.

Wait until he wins his first Brownlow

 

[Gene Simmons]

I recall all the so called "experts" laughing at our expense... How could we trade our future first rounder to the Saints.... The Saints were even laughing FFS.... Fast forward 2 years and now the Saints are requesting a priority pick.....LOL

 

[Xtreme]

Wait until he wins his first Brownlow

And years later when he wins his fifth in a row!!

 

[Slysh]

Jaeger and Ablett starting side by side at a stoppage at half back, ends up leaving Ablett behind and kicking the game winning goal. Second week in a row his gut running has left his direct opponent behind and lead to a score.
