Welcome Welcome Jaeger O'Meara!!!

[Snuffaluphagus]

Apparently done?

Welcome Jaeger

 

[ignoramus]

Will he be a Meister or a Bomb?

I mean, wooo! Always loved his work.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Well, I really did not see this happening pre trade period, or even on Monday tbh. Keen to see the details, but excited to see what he could add

 

[Bastyy]

I have always said amazing things about JOM and anything bad said was definitely not me

That being said, I'm looking forward to how he goes

 

[SSSSSS]

Will sell a few thousand extra female memberships.

 

[mike91]

Social media team will release something soon and you just know it'll be gold

 

[Sir Deadly]

About ten years late but I’ll take it!

 

[ImperialPurple]

Gobsmacked but happy enough I guess. Who’d’a thunked it?

 

[Boomer93]

He was always ment to play for freo!

Made the right choice, will retire a triple premiership player instead of wasting his career at gws.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Absolutely bizarre he's now a Freo player. Will definitely make us a stronger team for next year

 

[Spirit Level]

What an interesting addition.

One of us now, hope you excel Jaeger!

 

[One_Wing]

Good looking rooster, no matter what you say about the circumstances of him getting here. He is one of ours now I hope he kills it!

 

[Ge3ks]

Welcome to the best club in the West, Jaeger.

 

[MadMundy]

Would have been happy to have him if Lobb had stayed, now though? Can't say I'm too pleased considering the deal.

Doesn't strengthen us at all.

 

[poshman]

Absolutely bizarre he's now a Freo player. Will definitely make us a stronger team for next year

He does add to the midfield strength. Include Jackson to that. Forward line is a shambles.

 

[BStaff17]

Jaeger stuck on 99 games for hawthorn.

No F/S for them.

 

[Deathly]

Oddly excited about what he can bring in terms of off the field and as support in the middle for the youngsters.

People who seem to still have this mental image of him being this broken down player from 2014 or whatever the **** are going to be in for a real surprise.

 

[Mesc]

Well he trained with Freo before he got drafted...I always felt he should be playing for us. He's a bit banged about and battle worn but I reckon he will earn his keep.

 

[Taylor]

2011 Mini draft pick #1 and the 2012 Mini draft pick #2 have both landed back at Freo now.

O'Meara was the #1. He's already the best of the two.

 

[Purple Jesus]

How ridiculous is our midfield now?

 

[kingswood71]

This one excites me! he is a very good player.

 

[Arkhitect]

On one hand we paid too much. A contracted ruck and a F2 for what will be a 29 year old next year who's solid but unspectacular and has bung knees.

On the other hand, Bell and Walls have been fantastic in the trade/draft area throughout most of the rebuild. So they deserve our trust and JOM deserves the benefit of the doubt for now.

He's either going to be an amazing recruit and I'll have pie on my face for thinking otherwise, or he's going to be Freo's #1 whipping boy alongside Banfield. I don't see an in between for this acquisition.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Just quietly, I can't wait to see this extremely beautiful man in Freo colours....

I think I need to have a conversation with my girlfriend.

 

[drxce]

Good player to be apart of our first premiership team.

 

[Square Peg]

GWS did a medical on him, and the next day their list manager is on radio saying they hope that Jaegar chooses them because they're positive he can manage some midfield minutes amongst playing other positions, and he has good training standards.
People thinking we're getting a midfield powerhouse might want to temper their expectations.

saying that Mark Williams had definitely overcome his knee problems and was a great trade from the hawks. I don't want to see that happen here. I hope we've done our due diligence and he stars
