This is a concern. He can't even get on the park atm. Yes he was a dead set gun but after picking up Yarran imagine if we got him & he hardly got on the park. If he & Prestia were at full fitness I'd take O'meara, but there is just so much risk involved there.

Where does the $700000 come from
Numerous journos on SEN. Ive just done a job for a guy who works for 3AW and he has also said that Prestia will be on minumum 650k

If thats the case let someone else have him. We say we want blokes in our midfield with size so we go and get an overpriced jockey?

No thanks

it doesn,t really matter how our cap is distributed, what matters is improving our list.

Straight out? No, but everyone is assuming the club do, which is wrong.
Depends how much Prestia wants to come to us I guess. Hopefully we can get something done and keep the first

Prestia and O'Meara for Ellis and Pick 4 then. Huge risk for huge reward.

I've heard good reports from the draft guru on SEN re Scrimshaw. Tall mid (193 cm) who has had injury issue's but big upside. Hate when player comparisons are made because they inevitably fall short but the comparison to the Bont was made by this dude (Anderson or Thompson ?.)
Pretty sure he's hardly played in the midfield, only at hb. Weighs about 75 kg too. No thanx. Comparing to Bont at this stage is a joke.

i think plenty are mistaking hardness at the ball with ,the bigger guy gets the ball, the hardest guy to beat inside the ball in the afl is ben cunnington ( kills us intight everytime ), and he is only cotchins height and weight 185cms, weight 85,we need a intight specialist, not neccesarily a big player.

I agree. Which is why we shouldnt give up a 1st round pick for an overpriced jockey.

What really matters is we dont try to please media and richmond doubters that we can land a big fish just because we have missed everyone else we chased.

Surely we have learnt by now

Agree.O'Meara to much of a risk.
