Go watch some highlights of O'Meara - when fit he is a rolls Royce.
Hawks got Burgoyne right when his knee was dodgy.
If two first rounders (both likely to be late teens) and Hartung gets the deal done then Hawks have done good business. I don't think GC would accept that as they don't need picks.

Clubs don't trade for players on a highlights package from 2 years ago.
Regardless of whether O'Meara kicked 150 goals in 2013 and won every award imaginable, he has not taken an AFL field for 2 years and still has an injury cloud hanging over his head.
Not sure how many times it can be explained to you that the O'Meara trade will take into account the risk he presents.
Sure, he may recover completely, but he may not too, and 2 first rounders plus a player is just not going to happen.
