Traded Jaeger O'Meara [traded to Hawthorn for pick 10 and GWS's 2017 2nd rd pick]

[Mitchell54]

Have you missed what I said?

I'd hardly call pick 10 for someone who hasn't played in two years and is no guarantee to get back to his best as 'peanuts'. Pick 10 is a lot better than letting him go to the PSD for nothing...

or ND. I would have my hand in my moth if he went to PSD hoping no-one else picks him

 

[Mitchell54]

Call it an assumption.

Why wouldn't they?

because he'd leave the year later and not even gauranteed to get on the field because of injuries. Or they could have a star(most likely an injury free one) that could play for them for the next 10-15 years

 

[Procrastinator35]

Call it an assumption.

Why wouldn't they?

GWS Won't have the cap-space....Period.

 

[Mitchell54]

Er.
You know that draft order can and will change.

Especially when its GC that have a heap of picks before 10

i know but i'm just using what i've got atm.

 

[halfback dasher]

Not since trade period started, but several times over the last couple of months.

No he hasn't....

 

[Jade]

or ND. I would have my hand in my moth if he went to PSD hoping no-one else picks him

No matter the price on his head, Essendon will take him in the PSD.

So if he went that route, he would be tacitly choosing a move to the Bombers.

 

[Jade]

No he hasn't....

Mate, for god sake.

He has done a medical with the club, but we haven't met him.... geezus.

 

[Ugottabjokin]

or ND. I would have my hand in my moth if he went to PSD hoping no-one else picks him

That's a big moth and some pretty kinky bestiality......

 

[2006_Eagles]

If he goes into the ND then who's going to pick him up before pick 10?

1. Essendon
2. GWS
3. Brisbane
4. Gold Coast
5. Carlton
6. Richmond
7. Fremantle
8. Gold Coast
9. Port Adelaide
10. Hawthorn

Any interstate teams won't try for him.
That leaves
#1 Essendon
#5 Carlton
#6 Richmond
#10 Hawthorn

Gonna assume Richmond trades pick 6 to get Prestia
Essendon wouldn't run the risk with pick 1

This leaves Hawthorn and carlton
Carlton #5
Hawthorn #10

Doubt Carlton take the punt on someone who doesn't want to be there with Pick #5

So

If the Hawks trade falls over there's a possibility he could change his mind between now and late November and agree to go somewhere else.

He won't be going that route.

You don't know that.

Noooo in my view Pick 15 was the core of the deal - the rest is steak knives & Jed Anderson is no JOM.

Hang on I know ....points, the points!!!!!

North Melbourne gave up those two picks, along with Ryan Bastinac and a 2016's pick 51 for picks 17 and 26.

So assuming 15 and 17 basically cancel out, NM gave up Ryan Bastinac and got pick 26 and Jed Anderson, using your logic. Not a bad effort.

But the points! No, the points are a somewhat handy shorthand. The extra picks are the real value, and ignoring them is just being blindly ignoring how trades work.

 

[The 747]

Plenty of assets have been offered which would pass mediation.

The issue is Cochrane, talking big, and needing to end the deal looking like big man on campus.

Mediation is not something you pass, it is just a third party trying to reach a deal with both. You might be thinking of arbitration.

Not doubting Essendon wouldn't take him in the PSD. Who wouldn't.

 

[Jade]

He won't be going that route.

I think you're right - he will be traded.

 

[Procrastinator35]

If the Hawks trade falls over there's a possibility he could change his mind between now and late November and agree to go somewhere else.

LOL....Why do you think we sold the farm for pick 10?....Cochrane insurance.

 

[Jade]

Not doubting Essendon wouldn't take him in the PSD. Who wouldn't.

Yeah be foolish not to if you can afford the salary.

Just clarifying for those holding out belief that he could get to the Hawks via PSD.

Hang on I know ....points, the points!!!!!

So you just want to ignore the parts of the trade that make your arguement dumb?

I didn't say anything about points.
I said north got a 2nd round pick and a 3rd pick upgrade as well as anderson.

Steak knives would be if it was just the pick upgrade.
A 2nd round pick is not a steak knife.
That's a steak

 

[Mitchell54]

You don't know that.

Pretty sure he would. He wants to be in Melbourne.

Can someone back me up on this?

 

[Moo]

You got something better to use?

Yes - common sense.

15 & 54 - Anderson, 38 & 40

I know steak knives when I see them and whilst we may argue about the quality of the steak knives, they still be steak knives.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Has JOM met with Essendon at any stage?

Yeah. Even did a medical with us.

Not sure why he'd bother with that if it was Hawthorn or nothing.

 

[2006_Eagles]

LOL....Why do you think we sold the farm for pick 10?....Cochrane insurance.

That's not ahead of pick 1 in the PSD

 

[Jade]

Pretty sure he would. He wants to be in Melbourne.

Can someone back me up on this?

I don't dispute that.

But far too many posters make the assumption that it is the ONLY option.

How do you know he doesn't land in Fremantle and decide he friggin loves it there?

People get far too caught up in their own teams attractiveness due to our natural bias towards them.

 

[dlanod]

That's not ahead of pick 1 in the PSD

Yes it is. National Draft occurs before the PSD.

 

[Mitchell54]

Yes - common sense.

15 & 54 - Anderson, 38 & 40

I know steak knives when I see them and whilst we may argue about the quality of the steak knives, they still be steak knives.

Yeah. they'd be the $200 ones you get at super fancy restaurants if they were steaknives.
