Oh god, he did it. Jaeger O’Meara picked Hawthorn.
The injury plagued former number one draft pick and 2013 Rising Star winner ended weeks of speculation by announcing that he would like to join the winner of the last three premierships.
While a satisfactory trade still needs to be reached between the Suns and the Hawks, Twitter was still suitably unimpressed. Here’s how you reacted.

Hopefully Jaeger O'Meara can help Hawthorn win that premiership they have struggled to obtain for the past 11 months

Smart decision to choose @HawthornFC for injury prone Jaeger O'Meara
In 2016
Haw 3 x at Etihad
Ess 9 x at EtihadMCG much more forgiving

Good to see battlers like Hawthorn being the preferred destination for Jaeger O'Meara. #equalisation #freekickhawthorn #richgetricher

As has long seemed the case, Jaeger O'Meara wants to get to Hawks. Medical team at Waverley a big selling point

Jaeger O'Meara says he just needs a change of psychotic coaches. @JunktimeAFLPod #AFLFinals

In the least suprising news this year O'Meara has picked Hawthorn as his destination, once again proving the effectiveness of #equalisation

Hawthorn add Lake and Frawley after premiership years, about to add O'Meara and Mitchell, too.
Where's their trade ban, Gil?

Mitchell next?
Ox: "Take this to the bank. Jaeger O'Meara will be playing at Hawthorn next year. Tom Mitchell will be playing at Hawthorn next year."
