Toast Jaeger O'Meara 50 Games and beyond...

[Judd2Sewell]

That is news to me.

PS: Have heard Lachie Whitfield used to barrack for Hawthorn

And the Titanic has sunk. I get it now.

Is the double post part of the joke?

He is starting to put together a really good season. Is he performing at the level of a truly elite midfielder? No. But he’s consistently winning plenty of footy and since the bye his form is building as he gets more games in his body.

The most pleasing thing is his foot skills. They were terrible last year but he’s becoming very clean by foot. His hands, stoppage work and tackling are excellent. The areas he still needs to build to take his game to the elite level are his endurance (hopefully a second full pre season gets him there) and a return of his explosive pace.

But signs are looking good. He was our best mid on the weekend

 

[Brishawk]

Omeara is a seriously talented player. Really breaks the game open at times. Needs to build his tank over consecutive preseasons as he will inevitably get tagged. Has performed very well all year but has been even better since the bye. Just starting to stretch himself a bit more. Maybe Russell given him a green light for a bit more game time.

You've heard of how rioli was managed post his hamstrings I can tell u that Jom and Jor have also very specific programs and jor is definitely holding back he is quicker than he appears but has been told to contain himself. It's working as they are both stayed on field. I really hope Jor gets a go because he has the vision and skills to play at the top level.

TFP - there are those speculating that he’s been playing off HBF at BHFC as he’s out of Clarko’s plans and will be out at the end of the year.

It would seem odd to me that a guy about to be cut is being told is to hold back. What’s your take on this?

He is playing at half back because he is a very good user. If he can play that position they dont need gunners doing it. Thats more of a need. Players playing a role is a clarkson mantra. So is versatility

 

[TheFourPillars]

It's the reason miles came in its that run and ball use from the back half if only birch was ready

 

[Bardo State]

Man I want to see the 'break glass in case of emergency' Jaeger in a final. Someone around here called his signature clearance move where he bursts out of a pack backward and laterally the J-curve. It's beautiful and the name always stuck with me.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Btw jor most definitely is on the chopping block. He either gets a run at it and succeeds or he is out the front door. Holding back was for his benefit so he can stay on the field. No good going at 100% and breaking down especially now

So a little of column a and column b then. Hope he gets given a run at it and can show enough. Definitely something to work with. I have to admit, i'd love to keep him, even as a rookie next season. I reckon he's mainly out of the woods (touch wood) and he now just needs game time (like Jaeger with the knee, but different, obviously).

 

[Iceman!]

I think we need a few gifs of his don’t argues.

I just watched the round 4 Melbourne game again, and I wonder if that magnificent goal he kicked when he outran a handful of dees exceeded his work load. He wasn't even puffing, or limping, but went straight to the bench where his knee was discussed. Probably saying it's great.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I WANT MOOOOOOOOORE!!

File this one under 'Why Clarko thinks long sleeves are soft'.

Interesting you mention that - I remember one of his games in 2016 (think it was against the Dogs at Etihad) where he found someone in the goal square with a beautiful disposal by foot on a really difficult angle. I remember thinking then it was this kind of vision that probably had him highly rated as a junior.

Yep kicked it across his body running towards the boundary line. Not only was it great vision but it was also great execution of skills. I remember that as well.

Kids get off him .

Jimmy Sic and Jags are the new faces of the franchise. Get them on the junior membership material for next year, stat!

Jaeger could be one of the most marketable players in the comp if he stays on the field. Got a feeling that the number 10 will be replacing the number 33 as one of the most purchased numbers at Hawthorn.

Movie star looks and talent to boot.

It’s not just because of my username - I really want JOR to make it. He is the type of player we need desperately at Hawthorn

He went up in a marking contest in our forward 50 from memory and it was a pretty decent contest and came down and must of shocked the knee. I was pretty worried when I saw it. But he managed to play it out and has only missed the one week so happy days
