After last off season's antics of us caving into giving up pick 5 to Essendon after which we said on numerous times we were not going to do.
Ha! GC would be licking there lips knowing there negotiating with us. Prob ask for our first & second rounder!
That is just revionist BS.
Never did the club once say wr would not trade pick 5.
They did say they would not trade pick 5 for Carlisle alone without something coming back.

We traded 5 for Carlisle and pick 14 which became Gresham.

Dont make up bullshit.

I have read all the pros and cons to taking O'Meara on. And it's all relative to price. Best result I can see would be the orourke deal with the Hawks.... Wasn't on the park much of his time at gws and was a former pick 2 and went for 19.... I back our medical staff over the GC staff any day!! So to land someone like that I would say if we would be trading our future first round in 2017 then I would want more than omeara back in the deal....

O'Rourke was unproven. JOM is already a star. He is going for a top 5 pick at least unless they say he may never play again.

And that's your opinion. Which is fine. As I said it's all relative to price. If it's too much we don't have to do anything. If it's ok then I think we pull the trigger...

You want a moneyball type?

Brant Colledge. 192cm 91kg inside midfielder, not even 22. Lost his spot on the Senior list at WCE last year, and just got re-demoted to the Rookie list due to Brown's return.

Had an amazing 2015 at WAFL level, though he hasn't been as good this year, and simply can't break into the Eagles' star-studded midfield.

Would cost absolutely nothing, but then again, would give us size and ball-winning ability, but not necessarily pace and class, which we need more.

I honestly do not believe the O'Meara rumours, we are not in a position to take such a big risk at the moment.

If we can't get a big fish this year then I think we'll look at getting a good bargain, maybe with next years second round pick, but I don't think we'll be trading our first unless we can get a (fit) gun.
This is something myself, Stavro and Ghost have repeatedly told the board for the last 12 months, it's more than a rumour. Will we land him? Who knows, but we won't be paying through the nose for him.
Edit: He's only just turned 22, get him onboard I say.

I wouldn't mind a trade between us, GC and Freo at years end. Something like;

Freo get: Tom Lee and GC's 2nd round pick
Saints get: Morabito and O'Meara
GC get: our 1st pick.

We get 2 deadset guns and GC and Freo get something of commensurate value.

I thought Moorabbin Ghost had said recently that O'Meara wasn't really of interest at the moment?

Do you think he's worth taking the risk for a first round pick? Because I can't see him coming cheap.

The JOM rumours have been on saintsational for about 12 months. First I've seen an 'ITK' on here claim JOM is of interest and this is after the media brought it up. Just sayin'

O'Meara hasn't played a match at any level since Sunday 31st August 2014.... 21 months ago

Let's just settle down a little bit in here please
Wow, that is a game changer..
Either he's cactus or worth a lot less in a trade, or both!
Surely it would be a lot harder to sell O'Meara based on that.

I think us, like every club, is just waiting for him to play some footy. How can anybody make a call on him now. Who knows what will happen in next four months.
I think it's just a wait and see.
I'm still hearing Hawks are keen but then today they say the salary cap is full. Who knows what's going on down there.

They are sneaky buffers. Their salary cap was full last year too... ;)

He's been talked about on here for ages bud
I know he's been talked about here for ages I just don't recal an ITK stating saints were a decent chance to land him. Look I may be wrong.

There's a couple of guys on saintsational that have been saying JOM is a very strong chance to end up a saint for about 12 months. I know the admin guy over there brought up that mail ages ago.

Full potential? Never.

I don't know of anyone who's had as much patella tendinitis trouble & then a complete rupture that has successfully made a comeback to one of the 3 major Aussie footy codes (Aussie Rules, League or Union). Excessive external impact trauma to the knee causing too much aggravation in the area around the knee cap
FFS, if we gave up a first rounder I think I will spew.

I hate other teams!

The only case examples from Aussie footy codes are Antonie Kaufusi from Rugby League & Chris Knights from AFL....

Kaufusi managed to play until 2015 after doing his patella tendon I n 2007.

Chris Knights did his in 2013 & came back to play 1 game before rupturing his hamstring tendon in the same leg in 2015

NB: Kurtley Beale just did his patella tendon 2 weeks ago for the Waratahs in the Super Rugby comp. he's been listed at 6-9months
