2 top 10 draft picks for kid who has barely played in 2 years because he has the legs of a young forrest gump

rofl get the **** out of here rocket.
Forrests legs were fine. It was his spine that was messed up.

I know it's besides the point, but I like my analogies to be accurate.

Wow - big news if he failed the medical.

IMO any team who pick him up will be taking a huge risk. I've heard a lot of chatter saying that he'll end up at the Hawks but that can't be completely true if he is doing medicals at other clubs.


I am unsure if he is worth pick 19 with his injury background. If he was fit I'd be happy for us to give away pick 1.

Could be many reasons to why he is doing medicals at others... Burgoyne didn't pass Hawks medical prior to us getting him.

There's other factors. O'Meara has suffered patella tendonitis since he was 16. He's managed it to some extent. St Kilda's medical team have had success with managing similar injuries to Tom Hickey and Riewoldt. The patella tendon is a separate issue. I suspect the club that effectively sells their medical department will assist in getting O'Meara to their club. I understand Burgoyne had similar knee tendonitis as well.

If O'Meara doesn't choose a particular club due to the surface I suspect physiologically he's already stuffed himself. Hawks still play games at Etihad...other players with knee tendonitis (as mentioned earlier) also play there.
I'm pretty sure the pies have an excellent record with knee injuries. We've certainly had our fair share of them but I can't think of the last player who redid one and most have recovered well.

Taking bets on how long it takes for someone to mention Caff or Scharenberg without checking to see if they did opposite knees first.
