Well then essendon can gtfo then. What else you gonna offer??

'Oh youre a d.ckhead we'll just take him in the psd'

Ok mate.
If push comes to shove and he is adamant that he wants to come to us (very unlikely, I suspect others are as well placed if not better placed), we hold literally all the marbles.

He'll either come free or for significantly under what you want for him, not that I think you're going to get anything close to what you want for him from anyone.

Nah. It is just gold coast positioning itself, strong arming. I would be surprised if he lasted to the PSD.
I appreciate why GC want to take a strong stance against stars wanting to leave for minimal compensation, but the price they've stuck on O'Meara is nuts. Unless they're prepared to about-face on what they've just asked for, I can't imagine how they're going to deal with ANY club. He's worth one first round pick for sure, but two top 10 picks or an 'elite' player is ludicrous. You cannot discount his injuries when determining his value, because injuries happen and bad knees are more often than not bad for life.

Im sorry mate but your team is a mess at the moment. All us Essendonians feel for ya. Weve had a terrible time that has only got worse and worse since Sheedy left. But GC need to start fixing the culture of the club and getting Gary Ablett was the worst mistake they done. When Geelong were winning them flags it wasnt Garys leadership and offield presence that made it happen. It was Jimmy Bartel that took the time to grab young Selwood, Duncan, Menzel each in their first seasons out to the oval outside simmo stadium (after everyone had finished training for the day and gone for subway and play the playstation) and taught them how to play AFL. By this time Gary had well and truly jumped in his rex gorell ford territory that was parked away from the rest of the players for a quick gettaway. By the way tell Gazza if he wants his brownlow back he only has to ask Lauren Phillips Mum for it back. Lol IN PERSON!

There are not many players left from that 2010 draft. Maybe someone can list the players picked. Only Tom Lynch.

I reckon it is posturing, a starting point fo negotiations. Rules of bartering when selling, start high, then meet in the middle with what you are actually expecting. If a club took the risk and offered a top 10 pick and steak knives, as he is out of contract it would be ballsy to pass up.

I think we all understand where GC are coming from. But you cant be reactive and try and retain players once they think of leaving, its just too late and the grass always looks greener. GC need to get better development and lifestyle structures in place and just being more proactive earlier.

Enjoy whats left. Because the Hawks are not far off a full rebuild. They will be lucky to make the 8 next year! I think North, Hawks and WCE out and EFC, Melb and Saints in.
Don't post ever again. Bad call. Hawks won't be doing a full rebuild...

Please dont include the Saints in JOM discussions - we cant afford the risk!
Yeah your right. Freeman was your high risk high reward shot and looks blown at this stage. I think Richmond are the ones that would explode if JOM didnt pan out. Also hows GC trying for Fyfe. Fyfe is the most Western Australian born and bred loyal lad you could get. He would never ever leave WA! I think GC were just hoping JOM might favour going back to WA over going south and getting sweet nothing fir him because of power of the p. Lol damn GC really are desperate the more I think of it! I reckon they would take some of them joke trades just to get something.

So who will get the No. 1 Guernsey? Jaeger or our first draft pick?

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother reading player threads on the draft board... Can we not bag out eachothers clubs and just talk about the actual player?
Spot on mate . Come hear to talk player values and instantly turns into a personal vendetta towards whoever the poster supports . Been reading for years just started posting would say 5-8% of posters are hear to talk footy the rest can't see past own bias . For what it's worth it sounds like the J bomb will go to Hawks or blues .

Bombers may not be able to fit him into the cap anyway. All the players got back from rehab with restructured lucrative deals.
Part of the reason as why hibberd is leaving among others.

Not even saying it as a biased fan but I'd be very surprised if O'Meara doesn't end up at the hawks. Especially after all the little whispers that he is going to nominate the hawks anyway.
