Jaeger O'Meara

[Strapping Young Lad]

Oh, I’ve got a better candidate to wear that great name.......

THE HORROR!

 

[mightymouse75]

Well he is from dong hole

 

[Vyrone Trickery]

Sorry you’re so angry about a game. Hope you feel better.

Oh I see. So you've given up on Burton being better than McGrath and now desperately hoping your high price once in a generation big fish one day ends up more than 2 touches a game better than a guy 5 years younger than him.

That Hawthorn hubris really has disappeared

 

[Bluengold91]

That 2012 first round really has proven to be a stinker:

O'Rourke, Plowman (pick 3), Toumpass, Menzel, Jaksch, Lonergan, Garner, Simpson, Kennedy, Hrovat, Towers, Paparone have all performed, or various reasosn, below expectation

Absolute stinker for the eagles we got Wellingham (pies got grundy with that pick), Brent Collage, Adam Carter and promoted **** brad dick. And Hutchings who is the only one on the list still but nothing more then a fringe/depth player

 

[Andronicus]

Because this thread is about JOM , strange question.....

Not relevant to this thread

Seems this thread is only about JOM after a decent game.

At all other times Hawks fans seem to want to make it about McGrath.

Great to see the bloke playing decent regular footy, but if I’m honest I just can’t see him getting to the AA quality we’d hoped he might.

Still only 24 so plenty of time to prove me wrong.

Sadly I think we may have already seen O'Meara's best years.

This is his best year, not sure what you are on about.

Nah. stats-wise yes but stats don’t always tell the true story. He’s currently like an mid-range Audi racking up the KMs. In his first couple of years he burst out like a Ferrari and was sensational to watch. Not the player he was....yet.

 

[Farm Boy]

Roughly on par with his first and second years of football, and when I written that post you quoted - statistically O'Meara wasn't having his best year. He has had a good 3 weeks, and his 2018 statistics compare similar to his 2013/14 years. So in the space of 6 years (statistically) he hasn't improved, or has improved only very very slightly. Statistics aside though, he doesn't look like the same player he was in 2014. The eyes don't lie. You can rave on about O'Meara to the cows come home, but IMO he simply isn't much chop. Straight up and down, no special effects.

Then it must be about McGrath this week - JOM didn’t have the best game on the weekend

PS: how did Ooh Ahh go?

Quite well.

JOM still only a short way back from injury. I expect if he keep fit he will build over the next few years.

Might not ever hit the top top level some thought, but a good player if he stays fit.

Well, if this has been his best year...hate to see his worst. Really average player.

O'Meara's best season to date was 2014.

14 > 18 > 13 > 17 > 15/16. IMO.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Very close to an All-Australian squad now in my opinion. Excellent come back by O'Meara and particularly the staff at the Hawks who've allowed him to grow and regain his confidence without pressure from within.

 

[RUNVS]

In another thread Hawthorn fans are saying Mitchell is their best midfielder by far in 2018, and that he is carrying the midfield this year. If that is the case it doesn't say a lot for O'Meara. I personally think O'Meara is going okay, but no more than that.

Excuse me? He is nowhere near it.

Well this is BigFooty. You're either a star in AA contention or bound for de-listing.

He's a long way from AA, this year has been a massive step forward for him but he has a ways to go

Yeah slight over-reach there
