Review 10 - Jaeger O'Meara (2018)

[SuperSic]

If this guy isn’t our next captain in a couple of years after Stratts then I will be thourougly disappointed.

Not only is he tough, hard and a freakish talent, but he oozes class and professionalism off the field. The interview on the website the other day shows how good he would be with the media as well.

God I hope he can stay fit, he could be special

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Deceptive at pretty much everything. Quicker than you think, tougher than he looks.

Can see why he's underrated. His inside work, like most, goes unnoticed but that is where the beast lives.

JOM looks like he's keen to be the number 1 man in Tom's absence. Love it.

It's scary to think about him Mitchell and Cogs next year potentially.

Christ almighty.

I'm pretty sure that was his thinking whether Tom was playing or not.

 

[threesixpio]

JOMTOM minus TOM = JOM = One

 

[threesixpio]

The amazing thing about JOM is how he happens to turn up everywhere when needed. The guy can pretty much do it all. I’m with LP now - I can definitely see him captaining Hawthorn one day

 

[kirbatron]

Imagine what he would be sans knee issue. He is on the trajectory just a few years later....

Brownlow Medalist and captain of the Suns

I heard that Batman put $20 on Superman to win the 2019 O'Meara Medal...

That's a great vid. Cegs show's some deft awareness as well, waiting for JOM to break into the open. It's odd, though, how three Richmond midfielders are around Cegs and not one tried to tackle him, including a guy that was literally right on Cegs' back and could have easily wrapped him up. All three went instead to knock down the hand ball, Cegs did a little hand-shimmy and shot it to JOM.

It's interesting because Richmond out tackled Hawthorn 79 to 56. And yet no pressure at all on that play. What an interesting game. I find it so frustrating that advanced stats are not widely available.

 

[threesixpio]

He dishes out the handball to him? Is that Cousins? Decent handball through traffic

Actually that look like Ceglar

Edit: read above post. Yep

If advanced stats were available then it might cause the halfwit commentators out there to acknowledge the quality of our players. The industry does not want that

He's only underrated as he was injured for so long, the whole footy world know he's a freak. 2019 could a Brownlow/AA type year based on how he's moving and looking ATM.

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

Got $81 for the win $21 top 3 for the brownlow.
I'm pretty happy with that! He is going to have a massive year

AS LONG as he stays on the park, he'll be a top 5-10 player by the end of the year. Going into 2020 we'll have 2 top 10 players with Titch and who knows what Chad will be with a full season, but he is a top 20 player at his best.

In the top 50 players we could be the most represented -

Mitchell
Omera
Sicily
Wingard
Gunston
Bruest

That's a fair bunch and all in their peak

There are threads on BigFooty back in 2012 + 2013 arguing who would be the best player in the comp in the future between O'Meara and Wingard. Pretty funny.

 

[Dr.J]

I still maintain he should be Captain - but I'll get over it.

Top 50 in 2020:

Tom Mitchell
Jaeger O'Meara
Chad Wingard
James Sicily
Jack Gunston
Luke Breust
Stephen Coniglio*
Isaac Smith
Tom Scully

Sorry, my mistake. They're all average players, made look better by the guys around them...

Ive already got my bet with a guy at work that he's going to be top 3 this year.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

He will win it. We have nobody to steal votes of him.

If we win 8 games, he has it in the bag
