A fair result at mediation is one that neither party is necessarily happy with but both can live with.

Pick 10 and Hartung is fair. GC would like more but they'd be crazy to let him walk when they could pick a gun kid and young player with upside. We would like to pay less because of what we gave up for pick 10 but that is what it is.
Don't think it will go that far, GCS wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
The player has had a very serious knee injury and hasn't played for 2 years, GCS would be lucky to get pick 10 under those circumstances.

That's a poor result mate. Pick 10 alone is a good result for us. Why offer more when Gold Coast's best alternative is nothing while our best alternative is getting JOM with pick 10 in the national draft. You're just throwing value away by giving Billy. The Hawks have positioned themselves well and pick 10 will either be swallowed up by the draft system or can be accepted by GC.

In fact the best outcome for us would be if we somehow managed to snatch JOM in the PSD with 14 and use pick 10 in the ND on best available talent. Magnitude of risk would be freakin high regardless of price JOM puts on his head
I don't rate Hartung at all. That's why I would take that trade in a heartbeat

The AFL mediator begs everyone to agree to a trade so no-one takes the draft/trade system to court where it could be folded up quite quickly.
exactly right…all it takes is one phone call from "our" president the ex essendon supporting garvey instructing Gill to get on the phone and tell the ass clowns at gold coast to sign the deal otherwise we go to supreme court….deal will get done immediately

Even if we land JOM I still feel we have suffered this trade period. No pick before the 60's, no first rounder next year. We need young talent but feel we will just be selecting list cloggers. Our recruiting team have there work cut out for them

So he's such a liability to the team that you place a negative value on him?

That is the only basis you would gift him to to GC when there is no other economically justifiable, logical, sensible, prudent or unreckless reason to.

Better lay off the jaegerbombs brother. No pun intended

I disagree. When we land JOM, we have officially smashed this trade.

Yes we don't have early picks this year but we just picked up some guns. Next year we lost our first pick, so we will pick up another gun or role player. So the wheel keeps turning.

The young talent is JOM and Titch.

Even better, it is guaranteed young talent unlike the draft. Cough, Thorp, Dowler, Ellis, Cough.

If we get JOM then who cares about young players in an average draft class. Tom Mitchell and JOM are both 23 or younger. We have a good spread of young players across the park with those two - with players like Howe, Lovell, Stewart, Brand, Sicily, Burton etc to all get more game time. If we get JOM on board, and particularly if Jarman nominates us - who cares about this draft.

Seems to be conflicting reports on the state of the JOM trade.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-10-18/trade-wrap-hawks-close-on-omeara-progress-on-gibbs-deal

HAWTHORN could finally be in a position to land Jaeger O'Meara, with Gold Coast considering accepting the Hawks' latest offer for the young star if it can snare an established midfielder during the final stages of the NAB AFL Trade Period.

The Hawks are understood to have offered the Suns picks No.10 and No.48 – their first two selections at this year's NAB AFL Draft – at a meeting on Tuesday.

The Suns had previously demanded experienced players from the Hawks to complete the deal, but the clubs have been unable to agree on someone who is prepared to move to the Gabba.

The Hawks' draft hand is relatively bare after their trade with St Kilda last Friday that secured pick No. 10 but cost them picks No. 23 and No.36 and their future first-round pick.

However, the Suns might be prepared to bend on their player demand if they can secure one from another club.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...t/news-story/71f9b7b1d013afaa1ef787435476a960

HAWTHORN could walk away from negotiations with Gold Coast over midfielder Jaeger O’Meara in a move that could force the Suns’ star into the national draft.

Talks between the two clubs have slowed to a halt with the Suns yet to accept the Hawks’ two top picks, which are No. 10 and No. 48, for O’Meara.

Hawthorn believe a first-round and third-round pick is a fair deal for a player who has not played a single senior game over the past two seasons due to serious knee injuries.

The Hawks swapped their first pick from next year’s draft in a bid to gain No. 10 in this year’s draft from St Kilda, but it has failed to appease the Suns.

Instead, Gold Coast wants a senior player from Hawthorn, but the players they have targeted from Waverley have refused to join the Suns.

Hawthorn cannot trade a senior player to the Suns without the player’s consent.

The dramatic stalemate threatens to force O’Meara, 22, into the national draft if the two clubs are unable to agree to a trade deal for the Rising Star winner before Thursday’s 2pm trade deadline.

I'd love our late picks to be traded off for Barrett and Dear, Jarman wont cost a lot. With whatever we have remaining I'd love to pick up the next Stratton, Puopolo, Barlow etc.

Harder to find another Duryea, Brand and Savage but can be done.

With some mature age draftees we could really nail this offseason.
