Traded Jaeger O'Meara [traded to Hawthorn for pick 10 and GWS's 2017 2nd rd pick]

[The 747]

They want players not picks, but I agree very unlikely due to salary cap pressure...

I know we love chronically injured so we would be looking longingly but we can't. We did our dash last year.

Wow, free hit guys I am devastated that player we spend 2 X 1st round picks on and two years rehabbing on massive money that told the club he was still invested in the club only a week ago would walk out.
I am absolutely devastated so feel free to kick me in the guts

 

[Jugada]

They have scouted him at box hill and are keen bud

Played last 10 games for a top 4 side

Lol could say the same thing about everyone who has played 10 games for the Hawks over the last 6 years

Playing average footy at best and injury prone. Value is close to nothing trade wise

Looking back at the top 15 of the last 3 drafts, the vest majority of players are not busts.

Clubs are getting better lately but not only has Omeara proven to be a good player he has proven he could be one of if not the very best in the whole comp. Like I said I'd still rather not give up 2 first rounders but it's risk vs reward and it works for
Both established players and those still to come

Maybe instead of that, think of what Santa will leave under your tree this Christmas trading period.

Get over it, you happily took the best player in the comp who we developed and drafted as a father son from us. Players come and go.

Pick 4 + O'Meara for pick 1?

Give them the chance to take Best kid in the draft at 1 and Bews at 9.

Don't know about O'Meara at Essendon. Former coach G McKenna is there and not sure JM loved it under GMcK at the Suns.

This leaves one option....

Well, thanks for your services this year bluey... They won't be forgotten

Big difference between being an assistant to being the big dog. From everything you hear Bluey doing a good job as an assistant

No crap it is hes an unrestricted FA but we're just throwing it in to get it across the line, they want players even "avg" ones. Wx would be open to helping get things across the line im assuming. I take it everyone thinks 1st+sic is good then

So your theory relies on GC not realising Whitecross is a free agent?

Flogs going to flog.

There is no best player in this draft, there is only shades of opinion.

True but it stings like hell when it first happens and this is raw

 

[Ressies runner]

Pick 3 should get it done

and im just saying if the original deal isn't across the line then adding Whitecross won't make one iota of difference

 

[good4footy]

As if the club he is going to hasn't already done the medical. There is no risk, his knee is either good or not.

Fair enough, give it time. Players come and go, the club goes on.

Sicily is a spud and pick 20-24 once academy bid is a rubbish trade for the suns

 

[Gingerbread man]

O'Meara to Essendon

Hibberd to Melbourne

Salem and #19 to Gold Coast.

Are you trying to tell me hibberd is worth Salem and pick 19?
Surly I have read this incorrectly

Bullshit there's no risk. How far do you trust your club's doctors ?

A medical is just an educated guess. Steve Johnson failed a medical at the Pies in 2006, so we had to keep him.

No we offer wx a contract and/or with goodwill tell him we will get you to a club where will play you every week and we get something in return after keeping him around thru all the knee injuries and possibly being part of a premiership

Keep hearig bad reports about his knee which is going to drive his price lower and lower. Kid hasn't played AFL for two years.

Is that Steve Johnson bloke any good ?

He's saying Hibberd is worth Salem and O'Meara is worth Salem and Essendon's pick 19.
