Ultimate Glory Welcome to Hawthorn, Jaeger O'Meara

[Leather Poisoning]

Well I can honestly say I'm quite excited.

Well done on the rehab Jags. Can't have been much fun.

Jaegar to kick all ten contenders for goal of the year

My take on Omeara playing AFL is this.

The majority of hawthorn supporters are not on big footy and do not follow VFL footy so are not exposed to his comeback like most of us big footy supporters are.

By bringing him back in the AFL for the last 2 games (both on free to air) it will remove the hysteria around Omeara to the majority of supporters and the greater football public.

Clarko said as much in his presser a number of weeks ago.

Just my 2 cents worth anyway.

Think you could be spot on.

My take is a bit simpler. If he is 100% fit, he plays, any time.

Therefore he must have full confidence in his body and the club must have full confidence in him.

Hawthorn has never played it safe playing him when he was ready the only we were going to go

I think it's probably so the club can show to him that they have confidence in him. If they kept him in the VFL he may have doubted it a bit. Putting him back in the side can only give him a bit of a boost.

As reported on the AFL website:

O'Meara had not played a match since round six because of bone bruising in his right knee, a problem related to the issues that sidelined him in the 2015 and 2016 seasons, before that Box Hill turnout.

Now hasn't Hawthorn always maintained that it's a totally unrelated injury?

It's happening, chomping at the bit to see him in action on Saturday night.

As if you would put stock in anything on that website

 

[Iceman!]

I haven't been this excited to play Carlton in a very long time.

Jaeger O'meara 2017 Norm Smith medalist

Jaeger O'meara 2018 Brownlow medalist

It just has a nice ring to it.

 

[diggydig]

There is a chance we make finals. If we do, we will need O'Meara.

 

[Agent Smith]

We'll need to warn the U.S. that Hawthorn has officially gone to DEFJOM 1!!

I don't buy that. It's actually pretty simple.

He has proven that his body is up to playing footy. And he is plainly a class above VFL and is in Hawthorns best 22. So he plays for Hawthorn. Puopolo likewise.

We need a name mash like Dangerwood.

Yeah, I noticed those comments from Clarko too. I hope they haven't put too much weight on this factor though. I hate to think we'd be making important selection decision based on reacting to media hype and supporter expectations. Hopefully the simpler explanation, that they feel he's fit and ready to play is what has really happened.

I think Clarko eventually admitted in a presser that it wasn't the same issue, but one that was in fact related.

The article also says O'Meara was 'rushed' back. I guess 15 weeks to get himself right since his injury is a pretty quick turnaround.

Clowns.

The rest are just have front row seats

 

[Hawk_francais]

I can really understand the decision to get him back playing out the year. A very different mental position than going into yet another pre-season preparing for senior footy.

My take is this...

He's had a long term injury. He's now fit. He's had a hit out at VFL level from which he has recovered well and where he played well. He therefore now plays seniors.

Anyways, very good that he is back playing. Crap injuries are crap and he's had a rough few years. Hope that he gets a clear run at it from now on.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Were having a crack and not dying wondering about playing finals. Get some miles into jaeger's legs and his knee while were at it. 2 high pressure games with a bit riding on it will do him the world of good. We have a pretty bloody strong team bar i rekon cyril and birchall now so lets leave nothing on the table.

If Essendon lose this weekend then everything could change.

Everything!
