I expect us to have the most cap room.

Good luck to others trying to beat our offer

The saints are only paying 95% so can go to 105% next year, not sure they will go after him though.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Won't go PSD.
Similar to the Carlisle situation last year, a club like Hawthorn will come in with a fair and reasonable deal to GC. If the Bombers don't come to the party with a fair offer, Clarko just needs to convince him to come and play for the Hawks. Seems they've been talking to him for a while anyway.

Pending a thorough examination from a doctor, I'd be comfortable offering this year's second round pick and next years first round pick, or next years first and second if the Suns just want 2017 picks. That's about as fair as they're going to get.

Looking through this thread tonight I'm amazed at the input by Essendon fans over the last 5 hours.
When did JOM nominate the Bombers?
All the talk in the media has been North and Hawthorn.

If Gold Coast are ready to say that to Essendon, they'll say that to Brisbane.

They'll match that bid

You're the one who said Essendon have to come to the party...

 

[PhatHQ]

2016 1st + Sicily from the Hawks is a ripper deal for the Suns I reckon and they won't get anything better in terms of player + pick. Sicily would slot in beautifully as a 3rd tall forward, and that would be a solid offer.

I think I was one of the first to suggest this on the Hawks board... Looks like it is getting legs

 

[Rich01]

Yep, I've caused the influx of Essendon posts over the last 5 hours with my one ten mins ago. Nice one.

I heard that O'Meara has a girlfriend who comes from Melbourne. If so who do her family support does anybody know as that could be his preferred Club. Seeing as he is still under contract how does it work - presuming the Club in Melbourne who want him will have to come up with a pretty good offer in return.

So you perpetuate it, then cry about it when people want to discuss it with you? My, my, what a special little snowflake you are.

 

[PhatHQ]

I don't see the Hawks trading one of their few promising young players. Isn't that a bit self defeating?

No point having 10 forwards with no one to kick the ball to them.

Shoey
Gunston
Breust
Rioli

Hardwick

We need young mids!
Sicily has the best trade value to get this done with a first rounder, possible steak knives either way.

 

[frenchconnection]

Just found this on Wkipedia

"In 2008 the rules were changed to also give uncontracted players the option of nominating for either draft."

I guess he is uncontracted this year so its his choice.

I thought O'Meara still had a year to run on his contract?

 

[mikeythemoocow]

No use norf getting him they're done for the next decade.

Don't know about that. North topped up but never really gave anything up for the top ups, and have kept bringing through 1st and 2nd rounders. I rekon they have some good young guys and will get some better picks over the next few years. I dont think they will really bottom out that bad and maybe JOM see's that. I can see the Hawks bottoming out in the next five years, and pretty baddly too.

Nah not at all, just amused with some of the deluded thinking he's going to be a bomber for unders. By all means keep going. It's very entertaining.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Collingwood is my guess.

They have no real trade currency to get it done.

Pots and kettles mate. It's a break from laughing at Richmond for thinking they'll get Prestia while keeping pick 6.

 

[Milanista28]

He won't nominate us I don't think.

Deal will be done, Will be unders from GCS perspective but that's the way it goes sometimes.

 

[DERO]

Anyone know anything about his knee. Two years is a long time to be out. Apparently he had more surgery recently. Massive risk for mine.

He'll nominate whichever club offers him the most coin I suspect.

Nah, Prestia is worth pick 6. Reckon if you want to pay a player big $$$ you should also fairly compensate the club you got him from. Think the same is true with JOM. If a club woos him then lowballs GC, another suitor will come along, just like Hawthorn helped you out in the Carlisle trade last year.
Still not sure where this JOM to Essendon talk has come from though?

 

[TerryWallet]

Collingwood is my guess.

My guess is a non Etihad Club.

Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne.

Of those, Hawthorn as favorites.

Dunstall on 360 just then was trying to play straight bat but more or less telling GC to not be silly and just trade him for what is offered

and all you had to do was delist the games record holder and another 300 game servant of the club

Plus give up Goldstein and your 1st pick to get it done

 

[TallyHawk]

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

Sicily is no spud, not expecting a Carlton fan to know what a talented forward looked like though.

Wont be Richmond if they get Presti.
