Jaeger O'Meara

[Jane Doe]

I heard his knees would never repair, and that this week was actually a final good-bye to AFL footy.

Sad if true.

One of the more disgraceful posts I have seen in Bigfooty. And that's saying something

 

[Gralin]

I'm sure he made the call, as the great team man he is, but probably knowing he probably wouldn't get it. Anyway, separate discussion...

I reckon if he'd asked Clarko for it he would have got it

I'm not sure you would bring in a cooked player for a farewell game in Rd 22 when you think you are still a chance to play finals in two weeks' time.

why is he cooked? Done a mini preseason over the last few months and played in the vfl last week

I couldn't be bothered. Do you talk about your own team as much as you do about hawthorn? It's a fair obsession you have

Yeah ....he really doesnt need to...more than enough bandwagoning hawthorn supporters do that in any thread ,at any opportunity they can

The fact you're lumping O'Meara in with Mayne probably says enough about O'Meara i reckon.

$800'000+ a year, what a waste.

O'Meara is on 600,000 per year you idiot. I love how opposition supporters like yourself act like they know exactly how much Hawthorn players get paid as if they work inside the club.

All player contracts are speculation, however at the time it was well documented that GC offered him a contract extension of $700k-$800k a year which he turned down. You reckon he turned down $800k a year and turned down 33% extra cash when he certainly didn't need to?

I like how club supporters like you act like they know how much their clubs players are on and make suggestions with no evidence. No one knows exactly what he is on, difference is i use logic to deduce the ball park, whereas you just suggest a number that fits your narrative.

really I heard same about selwood amazing coincidence

Nah. That's just a rumor re Selwood.

 

[CharacterFirst]

I heard you went to a restaurant and ate all the food in the restaurant, and they had to close the restaurant.

Or it may have been Jaeger ...

Nope. There was still food left after I finished.

I am not lumping O'Meara in with Mayne. derp.

Mayne is on Collingwoods list, while you just posted that you didn't realize that any of your recent busts were destroying your cap space.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Yep, he spent 8 weeks in rehab and then dominated his first game back at vfl getting 30 touches and 3 goals over 3 qtrs just so he could have a farewell game. You're a disgrace.

Meh.

You're a fish.

Maybe you should be bothered because then you might be able to see the difference between a satirical post and a serious one.

You anonymous women are so querulous.

.

Of course he turned his back on money.

You think O'Meara left GC purely for money?

The same club that Eade has since potted. The same club the AFL have to manage like a sock puppet since it's inception. The same club who have had more fitness and conditioning staff than I've had hot meals.

O'Meara didn't turn down the GC offer for extra cash. He turned it down because he could see the place is a shell of a club that was not going to get the best out of him and he wanted out.

It's pointless engaging them.

Anyway, O'Meara was offer $750-800k p.a. by Gold Coast - as confirmed by a statement from Gold Coast. Anyone that thinks he left for $150-200k less per year on a 5 year deal is kidding themselves.

He's not on 800k a year. No where near it unfortunately. I've heard rumours 450-550k ish a season. Left because of the culture of the place, his girlfriend wanting to live in Melbourne and also the medical team at the Suns are apparently a major cause as to why O'meara and others at the Suns are constantly injured. If I was JOM I would have done the same.

So they gave up their first and second round picks for 2017 + picks 23 and 36 in 2016 for a guy they are paying 450-550k, while paying 500k for Tyrone Vickery?

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

To be honest, O'Meara taking a paycut to go to Hawthorn would have been a very shrewd business decision. I think they'll prolong his career far longer than the Sun's would have, he will get better third party opportunities in Melbourne and providing he gets his body right (which those chances are greatly increased at the Hawks), he will be in line for a massive payrise toward the end of this contract.

Yes

 

[blue harvest]

Contract may have performance clauses. If he comes good and turns into a gun I'd say his 500k gets negotiated up.

Then again maybe he's happy to stay at that level. Money doesn't mean as much to some people.

 

[Xtreme]

Up to the hawks but if it was a pies player I'd prefer to wait til next year given the price paid for him.

I think its suicide ESPECIALLY with the game being at Etihad. The concrete jungle!!
