Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[MarkG]

Looks like O'Meara has had another knee flare-up and won't play again at any level for the rest of the year, judging from the reports there's no damage just soreness. Surely he leaves the Suns now, their doctors/physio's seem to be incapable of getting anyone (let alone him) fit again. Despite his talent I now definitely wouldn't give up more than Pick 19 in a trade for him (Gold Coast may well argue he's worth more, but you don't sell the farm for a bloke with that level of injury history if (and in this case their is) there's a chance of the player breaking down again). Book him a session with Doc Reid and get in his ear

Another Gumbelton. Why bother taking such a huge risk.

Agree , no point going after anyone with a huge injury issue.

Unless he comes absurdly cheap it sounds like his body is shot.

Though high risk high reward may tempt Dodoro.

Any chance Collingwood is involved (aka Treloar) and get him to act injured, book an operation without the club GC knowing and have him playing in round 1 and not missing a game all season.

I for one wont be recommending any player for our picks til you tube highlights packages are released.

If Hurley leaves we could have 3 or 4 picks inside the top 10.

Bulldogs can get themselves some top 10 picks then. Hurley for their first round pick and somebody else's first round pick.

Man it would be funny if, after all the ooga booga PSD threats (Crameri, Ryder, Carlisle) that didn't eventuate, we end up securing O'Meara via PSD.

99.9% sure it won't happen, but the ironing would be delicious.

I like that he is willing to lay a bunch of tackles in addition to racking up possessions. Any idea what hi tackling numbers have been like throughout the season?

I've been on the McCluggage bandwagon for a while, but SPS would be good too. People underestimate how handy it is to be so dual-sided, especially when the game has become do pressure-oriented.

I mean really, if we take pick one to the draft then out of McCluggage, SPS or even Brodie we'll be getting someone we'll be happy with (even though I'd prefer the first two).

I maintain that Willem Drew is being heavily underrated, and would be stoked if we got him. I think he's got a lot of upside, a bit of speed for an inside mid and is good overhead. Seems like the sort of player that ends up at Sydney.

How about Pick 1 and our 2017 first round pick for Prestia, 4 and 6-8?

With Essendon likely to move well up the ladder in 2017 that would be too risky

No standout my arse.

The other 2 may be as gifted as him but he's smashing them as far as runs on the board goes

We need to draft/trade for someone with tattoos. We don't have enough tattoos.

Note that it mentions Taylor and Green saying the latter is more of a chance..
I'm tipping we get Green via PSD..He's a decent goalsneak as he showed us last week...

Looks like he'll fit in perfectly at Essendon.

That's a good kick to handball ratio for McCluggage, 8 tackles is also quite good considering he is a bit on the small side.

But surely we can't go past SPS, he kicked 0.3 so he will be a lock for our forwardline and midfield for at least a decade!

One of the goals McCluggage kicked in the champs was all class. The more i think about it the more I think he is the clear number 1 pick.

Guys where is this Knee flare up story coming from, I can't see anything on the Suns or AFL website about it?

This isn't regarding him leaving the field during the NEAFL game last week is it as that was hamstring tightness not the knee, is there a story I have missed ?
