Ultimate Glory Welcome to Hawthorn, Jaeger O'Meara

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Very mature young man.

If Woody can take the next step and Hartung can too, combined with Burton, TOM and JOM, we are back on track.

 

[wizzard400]

Was under the pump at work today so missed out on all the fun, welcome to the club Jaegar!

 

[Clarkos_Soldier]

Im so happy! Thank you JOM for selecting us. Thank you Hawthorn for bringing a champion over and for teaching Cockbrain-cockstain-cockrain-cockvein-cockdrain-cockpain a lesson in negotiating.

Listening to a few Carlton fan ringing talkback asking why the hell they helped us out with that 2nd rounder.

It's simple. Essendope had the number 1 pick in both drafts and cap space. They had said they were prepared to draft JOM.

What do Hawthorn and Carlton share? A HATRED of Essendope.

That's why.

 

[HairyO]

Hoping you guys can help me. Im trying to work out when we stopped being cheap arseholes who were trying to rip off GCS - and we should have just shut up and met all their crazy demands, and when we started being the stupid club who paid massive overs for a guy who wont play well.

Im going with 1.59pm today.

Thoughts?

 

[threesixpio]

Is it Brown and Gold or Brown (doing a poo) on Gold (Coast)?

 

[cambosis]

Ive never willingly listened to Damian Barrett for more than a minute, so the last hour of trade radio wasn't exactly easy...

 

[Davo-27]

listening to Damian Barrett is like listening to Stalin preach about communist values as he kills 10's of millions of people..... its complete leftist rubbish, every word out of his stupid mouth...... its not fair that HFC is successful, they should not be able to be successful any more, wahh wahh wahh feelings, feelings, feelings......

 

[LuckyHawk]

He really is a meat-axe isn't he.

Yep, strong, athletic, fast, smart, super talented - who does he think he is - Burton?

 

[offtherails9]

He mentioned in the presser that he is moving in with a delisted gold coast teammate??? any clue who it might be? maybe a hint of a pick up in the delisted FA period?

Think it might be Danny Stanley

 

[crazywildhorse]

So this whole embrace the hunt thing was all about getting O'Meara then?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Just watched the Jaeger interview - stand out to anyone else that he speaks similarly to Clarko? Does that sharp breath in before talking just like he does and 'ahhs' a bit before answering. #weirdattentiontodetail

 

[kazzooka]

Well either way only 1 future second went to GC so we have a second rounder to use next year!

Yeah but there is a big difference between gws, hawthorn and Carlton 2nd rounders. Especially after free agent compensation mid round.

Chris pelchen critisizing our longer strategy too so I guess thats all good

 

[Baz_hawk]

Loved his interview, sounds very keen to just get out on the park and get back to playing footy. The addition of O'Meara and Mitchell could be a very positive step to really develop O'Rourke, Langford, Stewart, Woodward and Lovell and create strong competition in the midfield.

Exciting times ahead, will be weird to watch us in round 1 without Mitchell and Lewis but it's exciting knowing that we have already built a solid foundation for our future.

 

[kazzooka]

According the the AFL website, we hold Carlton's 2017 second rounder, Carlton hold GWS' 2017 second rounder and GC hold our 2017 second rounder. GC also have Freo's 2017 second rounder.

How did that come to pass? No one knows. But it sounds good to me.

Edit: near the bottom of this page: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-10-20/indicative-2016-afl-draft-order

So pick 19 hopefully .

 

[kazzooka]

I think it's 36

Red card?

 

[Badesumofu]

Our 2017 second rounder is held by Geelong. The GWS second rounder went to us, then to you, then to Gold Coast.

According to the AFL website and the Age's report on the final day, Hawthorn traded in Carlton's future second. That then allowed us to trade away our own future second which we did to GC.

I have read and heard conflicting reports about this mind you so I'm not 100% on what actually happened. I'm pretty sure we hold someone's 2017 second rounder, though, and most importantly JOM.

 

[Hodginator]

Very impressed with him in presser. Seems a nice kid.

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

Welcome JOM. Please don't use the Sammy Mitchell on-field knee strengthening approach.

 

[scout]

He's like Superman, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Has a touch of Hodgey in him - does anyone agree with this? (personality/voice etc)

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Kwality plus. What a first interview. That interview screams future captain material. Handled the media like a pro. Not the likeable Hodgey type, more the professional captain type. You can see he is super confident and ready to go

 

[bigton08]

He's like Superman, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

God he's a unit isn't he???

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Just for shits and giggle a comparison of JOMs 1st year with Danger, Ablett and Judds 2ND year (their 1st years aren't comparable at all).

How can you not get excited by his. Those stats scream absolute gun. He is used to carrying the load too, if we get that knee right he will be an absolute steal and a star
