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

[The Donners]

I know this is almost certainly a troll, but even if it wasn't.......Why the Serious &^%$ would Hawthorn do that trade? If Roughead doesn't come back and they trade out Gunston, who are their tall forwards?

O'Brien, Fitzpatrick and Vickery... <s******>... Hawks should do it simply for the lolz!

 

[Jade]

Because he risks losing a substantial pay day if he injures himself next year.

ding ding

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Why not? The whole thing is a load of crap. Vickery's contract will end up being 3 years. JOM will sign a pre agreed extension with whatever club he chooses to join for 3 years or whatever.

It is a fact that Hawthorn can create a front loading that not many others can even do let alone risk doing

Yeah, sorry to burst your bubble but Hawthorn isn't the only club that knows how to move money around to accommodate people. Did you forget which team your former #23 plays for? There's several teams between him and you at pick 10 that could fit him in quite easily, two of which are struggling to pay the minimum 95% at the moment.

 

[Jade]

Why not?

Because you've traded your first next year.

 

[superstar25]

Yeah, I don't think he'll be nominating a one year contract.

That said, I'll be surprised if he gets to the PSD.

It makes sense really he will be telling every other club go ahead pick me for 1 year and then I'll head to the Hawks

 

[Procrastinator35]

Confident this deal will still go through but I don't know how its going to get done. Will be pick 10 + a player but not sure who it'll be. I'd be happy with Whitecross if I'm GC, he is one player who could fill a role for them. Other than him though, I don't like any of the alternative options.

If the deal doesn't get done, he'll reach Hawthorn's pick 10 in the draft but I doubt it would come to that.

Depends if Cochrane wants to keep playing mind games or not.

If he wants to shoot himself in the foot, then good luck to him.

This is not unique to Hawthorn supporters, because we hear it every single year from whichever club is struggling to get a deal done - but this just isn't happening.

No one year contracts for draft - not happening.

You really think you'll finish that low next year? Wow.

 

[Munich]

Traded?

They pretty much just handed it to St Kilda on a silver platter.

Do Haw fans actually realise the clusterflap their club has made this trade period?

I think most people agree, that was one of the worst trades ever agreed to. Absolutely horrible.

 

[Jarman2Bung]

O'Brien, Fitzpatrick and Vickery... <s******>... Hawks should do it simply for the lolz!

Cyril Roughy Puopolo
Breust Schoenmakers Gunston

Also Vickery, Sicily, Ryan Burton, Tim Obrien

The Forward line looks solid

Yeah, like how everyone took Tippett in 2012

When the dust settles on everything, I'd love to know the rationale on why they did this.

 

[Moo]

Anyone know the last trade that went to mediation? I cant recall any.

Ben Cousins

Edit: Sorry I read that as medication

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Yeah, like how everyone took Tippett in 2012

Yeah man, we can just clone Tippett 17 times and everyone can have him because that's how it works and what a great point.

10 other clubs passed him over. Why?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Imo Hawks should tell GC to f*** off and tell JOM they don't want him anymore.

Better off having T.Mitchell and taking pick 10 to the draft.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

10 other clubs passed him over. Why?

Gee, I don't know? Could it have something to do with the fact he barely averaged a goal a game this year? Could there be a correlation between Tippett and Tom Mitchell playing at Hawthorn due to salary cap issues? Maybe 10 other clubs saw something the Swans didn't.

Even i as as Hawks supporter agree that trade was horrible.....but if it helps get the Jaeger Deal done then i guess it wasnt so bad

50% of draft picks bomb....You do the math.

We'll have close to 2 $mill in the kitty next year for F/Agents with Hodge/Gibbo & Burger going....Once again, do the math.

We just gave away 2 guns for peanuts....Do you honestly think we give a **** about draft picks right now?

And penny drops>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nOW

Apologies, I thought he was referring to KP forwards if Gunston were to leave.

The Trade Period isnt over yet mate

I thinks that's it. 10 clubs passed on him in 2012 because he barely kicked a goal a game in 2016

Drink your milk and go to bed

Fail. If you have a look at the page you quoted from, there was other Hawthorn supporters making exactly the same point.



Fail. Two top 40 picks aren't a bunch of rocks to most clubs.



Fail. I wasn't exhorting the draft pick values and specifically said they were only useful as a shorthand, not to evaluate a trade's success or failure.

Feel free to keep building a strawman version of what I posted to rant against it. You seem fairly focused on that for some reason.

Win. Thats a lot of effort to make invalid points.

Havent seen any posts saying there were no 2nd round picks involved, sure they highlight the key components, as you have in the past. Ill move my "focus" elsewhere.

Hmmm.... my opinion on this has not changed, just because you can attract a player does not mean you should.

It is my opinion that your efforts to secure O'Meara are significantly harming your future chances.
