Lol why do so many non Hawk people give a shit? Thanks for your concerns.

I wouldn't have but for the fact Hawthorn fans en masse boasted that this was another master stroke by Clarko and that it would ensure the beginning of another period of Premiership success for the Hawks.

Well things have not gone according to plan and it looks like instead of being a master stroke it was hubris of the highest order that led Clarko to believe recruiting JOM was a good idea. I think it's fair that non-Hawthorn supporters should be allowed to comment on something that has backfired in this spectacular manner.

True but why would people outside Hawthorn give a shit?

Because he is a high profile get and thus injuries are a talking point? He is hardly unique in this case. When Fyfe got injured it generated discussion; now just imagine if Fyfe joined up with the saints next year and then gets injured again. That would be tenfold

En masse? Lol, we have 70k members and several hundred thousand supporters but you think a few flogs on Bigfooty is en masse?

They never even expected him to play the first few months, he is a long term project. Yes it was a big risk which I personally wouldn't have taken, but to call it a spectacular backfire so early just reeks of bitterness. Look at it in 5 years time and make a call then.

You're the one concerned about a few non-Hawk flogs on Bigfooty (referring to it as 'so many') so en masse is fair.

So many on Bigfooty, that's not en masse, otherwise I would have said en masse. This is what people on here don't understand, Bigfooty makes up less than 1 percent of football supporters.

Translation: I so so hope that O'Meara doesn't work out for the Hawks, and I badly badly hope that the Hawks don't bob up and start winning mulltiple flags again, because the relentless success they have had over the last 50 years eats me up inside.

Because it is a very big gamble. Same way people talked about Tom Boyd, Buddy at Sydney, Tippet etc.

And now we have a situation where the messaging from Hawthorn seems inconsistent and therefore there is speculation.

And as to why people are interested you do realise this is a football forum right?
 
Hawthorn are dedicating over $1m of their salary cap over at least the next two years to Vickery and O'Meara. That's a fair chunk for not much return so far. O'Meara is a long game thing sure, but the Jack Watts defence still applies. There's a cut off point where O'Meara becomes a net loss. 4 years of great footy after not much footy in 2017 would be fine, but if it's 3, 4 years before he's any good or he never comes good then it's a huge bust.

Yes it's a gamble, a big gamble, but that's 3 Cats people that have responded now out of 4 responses. Some people hate the Hawks, that's why so many on here give a shit.

Does that include tasmania and pets as well in the 70 odd k ?

Hawks are one of the few clubs that don't offer pet memberships.

I never heard back from you when you were called out for quoting the author of the article calling Tyrone an ex Tiger and you trying to make out it was the Hawks calling him an ex Tiger.
 
I looked up "smasha" but it didnt appear in my dictionary.

But dialectic means many things, including:

"the juxtaposition or interaction of conflicting ideas, forces, etc".

as in a love/hate dialectic, constituting a dialectical truth of two opposites in which the truth of one component is dependent or only reveal in conjunction with its opposite.

I chose to do a degree in Philosophy at Uni. At last it has paid off.
Hegel would be rolling over in his grave reading that tripe :D

Please do go on and explain to me how the tension between love and hate is resolved by JOMs knee. I await with bated breath!
 
Classic BigFooty.

Team ABC does XYZ.

'What's XYZ all about?'
'You just hate ABC'

Cool.
You mean supporters of teams that have recently been beaten in finals by ABC ask what's XYZ about, whilst supporters of JKL and MNO and PQR and STU and VWX who haven't been beaten by ABC in finals don't really take such an interest in XYZ.
 
I had to go back and check the OP because I was sure it was around his injuries and opinion on said injuries and others thoughts on that not on whether it was or wasn't a good trading decision by the Hawks. That of course would mean grown up conversation, something that appears to be lacking in posters on this board - seriously don't know why they just don't merge the bay and this forum together

Yawn this has been done to death in this thread - "You hate Hawthorn, you are jealous, wishing ill fortune on a kid, everyone so mean wah wah".

It was the biggest trade last year and he hasnt fired a shot, so people talk about it.

They didn't even expect him to play the first few months ffs, he wasn't expected to fire a shot this year! Comments like yours are so ill informed and bitter. It was a long term project, ease him back into footy and hopefully he turns into a gun in the next year or so. Judge it after a few years.

And why 3 out of 4 Cats responses? Do you know what the odds of that are?
 
I'm sure the interest of so many supporters of two particular clubs is completely and utterly genuine and sincere, guys. :D

Or coincidental.

O'Rourke Awakens!! More questions please.
 
I've got a question O'Rourke Awakens!! how do you top two threads on Jaeger, whats your secret?

Is it that you are a hunter in German?

I'm not ill informed or bitter, I was simply answering your question about why people are interested but hey keep trying.
