Jaeger needs to be careful making me pop a stiffy in the gym like that.

I have a good feeling about this one...Jaeger is a very clever player and now quite experienced, with natural leadership and awareness; he almost comes in as a Dave Mundy-type understudy...just without Dave being there (gulp!). I think he has a lot of attributes that go unnoticed, but mostly will add a bit of steel/grunt back in there, and with Jackson potentially playing as a hybrid mid...could be some interesting combos next year and some potential headaches for opposition mids.
Easy to make predictions, but on paper, for me....looks exciting

Probably the wrong place for it. Don't know if has been posted earlier. But here is Marc McGowan's version of events:
He's one of the least generic sounding footballers (i.e. is capable of more than repeating cliches and following media training) I've heard. Might be a clever fellow off the field.
The other thing that Jaeger has that separates him from the "big fish" trades that have given us PTSD is that he is the ultimate professional and fits the good character mould we've been building. I actually think he's going to slot straight into the leadership group.
This is going to be a an excellent pick in hindsight. Old freo would not have taken the opportunity when it arose (certainly not successfully anyway). The club seeing the chance to bring an A grade talent in, executing that chance and doing it for cheap is a really really good sign and what separates the good clubs from the bad.
In short, I love everything about this trade

Awww. Was a bit worried about cost and opportunity cost when I found out it was a possibility we could have him, but now that he’s ours, I hope he does well and we all get around him. (The exposed guns help 
!)
I can’t imagine what a crazy loop he’s been thrown for, imagine having to make such a life changing decision and only having 72 hours’ notice! But he’s done a pivot and seems to be excited to be here, so I hope he’s embraced by the purple army.
I also like the language he’s using about helping develop the young players, it sounds like this is a natural focus for him, which is great for our young kids.

Yea crying out for some leadership. Fyfie doesnt look like a guy whose really a leader. Its time to move the captaincy on to Andy or Caleb or Alex.

Is it just me or does he sound eerily similar to Fyfe? I can't recall ever hearing his voice.
Very similar manner of speech

The sort of player that will win a Norm.
Bring on the season.

I actually really like that he felt he owed Hawthorn to stay and develop their young players despite interest from us during a time we were already ahead of their development curve. he strikes me as someone with an eye to the future, and I wonder whether he has an interest in coaching post-footy - then again, he also says he doesn’t watch much footy, so who knows!So hawthorn farked themselves trying to ship him off for 19..

anyway, he sounds like a really solid citizen and will be a good experienced head that the younger guys will learn from.

Similar cadence for sure.
Hopefully a sign of footy IQ.

Will be a good get for your midfield. For all the negatives Hawthorn supporters post about him. Not many average more than him in the 5 or 6 core midfield stats.

I reckon he'll be a great fit for you as your 4th best mid or so ( behind the stars you have ) , does the hard stuff, is a good leader and top bloke.
Wish him all the best and wouldn't mind seeing him win a flag at Freo. Always had a soft spot for Jaeger and felt for him given injury really hindered his potential ceiling.

I liked him in X-men apocalypse

Don't blame him for thinking otherwise. There isn't many clubs in the competition where he walks into them and the culture is completely run by a bunch of kids.
