Player Watch Jaeger O'Meara 2021 (Rolling into year 5)

[MrPremiership]

Just needs a few more mates in the midfield so we can get more bang for his buck

 

[Slysh]

#1 in the comp for centre bounce clearances
#2 for total clearances
#9 for contested ball.

BEAST.

But but but he isn’t damaging

Never change main board

 

[Hodgey 15]

I'm rapt for Jaeger and how he's going. It's a testament to the character of the guy.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Those are some class highlights

 

[PenAndPaper]

The Fogarty one at 2:12 makes me laugh. Looks to see it was Fogarty and then is like "* it, easy clearance here"

 

[CHUBBSS]

His playing like an absolute bull!

unreal to watch, some of those highlights, almost untaggable

also videos have improved out of site! Media team doing well

 

[theiaofseed]

Seems to have some more agility this season, looks clean around his legs

Yep, hard to come to terms with, but I think it really did take him 3 years to recover from his injury. Looks back to his best, if he keeps pushing himself to carry and take bounces, who knows how good he could be.

 

[eldorado]

He's been classy, and hard, all day long.

A little bit less up-and-under in his kicking as well.

 

[threesixpio]

Pretty sure that Jaegar is German for something...

 

[Xtreme]

Load up on him for the brownlow!

 

[kirbatron]

looks like pre injury jags ❤

Honestly I had him pegged as a solid B grader for us at the start of the season based on his past 3 years. I thought his endeavour was A+ but his body wouldn't let him reach the heights of pre injury Jaegar.

But definetly playing like the A grader we ll hoped he was this year.

Just goes to show what a shocking injury it was he suffered given it has taken him till now to fully recover from it.

100% I am in the same boat. A acl takes 12 months playing time and can take a further yr to capture your best form and the confidence in your legs (Jars for example.)

Jags was a shocking injury, I think last year short turn around played a huge part and did him no favours. He looks to be backing himself in to breakaway from the contest and take the game on it's great to see.

Exactly what I was thinking.
We've now got the Jaeger we signed on for.

 

[Hodgey 15]

You only have to see from that footage. He's got utter confidence in his knee and ability now.
He's got a big career ahead at him in the Brown and Gold.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I thought (and said a few years ago) that if he got back to anywhere near his potential then he will be our best player. That's what he is right now.

Hopefully we can build a midfield around him, Mitchell and Worpel. We need some class and speed to compliment them. We also need a ruckman that can provide them with service - look at those break away clearances.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that when the doctors looked at his knee after he did his ACL they said something along the lines of it being an injury more typically associated with a car crash or similar impact rather than a sporting injury

 

[eldorado]

He didn't do his ACL...he snapped his patella tendon. Way more rare, and very unchartered territory for recovery.

And had to graft it all back together. * me. It’s actually amazing medical work

Yeah absolutely savage injury.

I feel like the car crash reference may have been made with regards to Ryan Burton’s injury?
