[Snuffaluphagus]

Thanks for making this an awesome trade period peeps. Will be locking this thread later tonight

.....hmmm, I'd genuinely prefer Sharp

On SM-G781B using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[serial_thrilla]

Most one-sided trade in AFL history.

 

[Purple Suit]

Daniels reporting we are into O'Meara.

Very Interesting dependent of cost of course.

Why? does he come with a first round pick like Bowes?

 

[Wizard]

Ahhh sheet...

Love this, we need some extra coverage.

 

[Lach72]

If the Hawks are dumping O'Meara and we can afford it, then maybe it's Meek for O'Meara and their F2

You can't honestly believe this shit..unless he's a salary dump

 

[Joao]

Which young mid do you not want playing to accommodate JOM?

I'm staggered we're 1 finals series in and already trading in 29yo. FFS, the sustained success model doesn't work if you prevent potential A graders to play injury prone B graders.

 

[King Tenz]

Most one-sided trade in AFL history.

Bizarre trade. Surely you can dump that contract without giving away a top 10 pick lmao

 

[Purple Suit]

Most one-sided trade in AFL history.

I hope that this becomes the O'Rielly trade and the cap dump exposes Geelong for not actually having a cap in the first place.

Another roadblock for Crowden in the mids

 

[King Tenz]

Right? We got enough young mids.

O'Meara sucks, don't want at all.

 

[Eski3]

We will not be getting a pick with O'Meara. It'll be Meek and another pick, Hawks will probably be chasing North's second or our Lobb pick. I wonder how this changes our going after Sharp

O'Meara is 28. We have enough young mids I agree, but not enough old ones

 

[Van_Dyke]

Oh dear it’s time to take back all the things i said about JOM

as someone in a similar predicament, i stand by it

 

[GingerDocker]

Can someone explain the O'Meara interest for me?

He'd be just about the last type of player I thought we'd be interested in...what am I missing?

 

[Taylor]

You can't honestly believe this s**t..unless he's a salary dump

As per the first half of the sentence you quoted?

 

[Joao]

He played 21 games and came 7th in their B&F (they finished like 12th) - he's mediocre.

O'Meara is 28. We have enough young mids I agree, but not enough old ones

He'll be 29 before the season starts. Just being old isn't enough, they need to be good.

we're concerned about who'll be the model for the team store now that griff and (maybe) lobb are gone

We don't have enough big physical bodies for when the heat is really getting turned up. We got exposed with a young and shallow midfield against Collingwood.

Fast track Erasmus?

[Moist Biscuit]

What a farking joke the suns are. The AFL should never give them any extra assistance again. Imagine winning the flag AND getting a quality young player on top of pick 7 for the massive price of a future 3rd rounder! Cats will extend Bowes almost immediately you'd think to stretch that contract a bit. AFL are a joke.

 

[Cobbler]

O'Meara. Still trying to get my head around this play.
Definitely walks into best 22, so there's that. Provides midfield rotational depth, so there's that. Is it a salary cap dump type play and we can grab Hawks F2 and they can have Meek? Hawks have bunch of young players, so can't see it being a salary dump style play.
Seems Freo exploring due to Meek.

Don't see it happening myself, but I wouldn't say no to O'Meara.

 

[Wizard]

Fast track Erasmus?

Might need a few courses of steroids if we want him to be our big bodied experienced mid for September this coming season.

 

[Mags98]

If we somehow pick the pocket of Hawthorn, and get their F2, I don't want to be trading that for Sharp.

Two early second rounders, when we don't have our first is important.

Sharp can wait until next year.

why? odds are sharp is and will be a better player than whoever we can pick up

 

[Farmerwantsawife]

Our Midfield depth for pressure and physicality in a finals atmosphere is paper thin. Fyfe/Jackson may improve that and im not sure O'Meara solves the issue but it certainly assists.

We got manhandled in the Pies final. We do need increased physical depth inside.
