Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
I know it's early days but Brett Anderson tweeted today we are certainly the front runners for Jaeger when he comes out of contract 2016
Very early but would be the absolute star that would top of our midfield to take us to the next tilt @ the flag.
Here's hoping .... !!!

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
Very early days. If the GC make the 8 he might get a sniff of a flag and stay put. Lets hope they have a poor year and we have a good one....
I would literally need a sedative if this happened because I rate him big time and he is just what we need. Having said that I dont believe that any one single player is a messiah. We just need 22 good players.

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
Front runners??? That race hasn't even started yet. Interesting timing. Does it make us more attractive this year? Of course it does. But geez that is a massive call. I figure its meant to encourage Carlisle??? I know planning is important but this falls into the category of prospecting at this stage. The Suns are doomed if this is a relevant topic now. They wont be happy this has been said let alone it being true. It smells fishy.

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
Having read the tweet now it brings things into perspective Anderson didnt just randomly align O'Meara with St.Kilda, he just tipped the Saints would be a front runner if he was leaving GCS. Fairly obvious. Just means we will be aggressive. Lets hope O'Meara has an injury free run at the year. If we got Carlisle, Freeman and Young this year and pursued O'Meara and/or Prestia next year, 2017 might see a top 8 finish. As Anderson says at the conclusion of the tweet. Long way to go. Lets just get through this trade period first.

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
So we went from a 10% chance of getting O'Meara to suddenly getting both O'Meara and Prestia? Ok.CQ SAINT wrote:Having read the tweet now it brings things into perspective Anderson didnt just randomly align O'Meara with St.Kilda, he just tipped the Saints would be a front runner if he was leaving GCS.

And yeah if that happened we would be top 8. Not real likely though Im afraid.
Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
Never heard of a side being front runners for a player a year out unless they are coming home. I reckon its far to early to suggest anyone is front runners. For a start he may not even come back.

A year ago Geelong were front runners for Dangerfield.
Nothing better than a good Dad Joke.

Exactly. He was coming home.
Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
A lot of clubs are interested in JOM, Richmond in a big way.
Anything could happen in 12 months, too far away to think about

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
JOM will be returning to Melbourne, wants to live in Melbourne, wants to start his property portfolio - purchased something in St.Kilda recently. He won't be at GC in 2017

I never said he wanted to go home. I said he wants to live in Melbourne
Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
He has mentioned earlier that we were into a young midfielder coming out of contract in 2016 so not the first time mentioned but first time he has put a name to it ..CQ SAINT wrote:Having read the tweet now it brings things into perspective Anderson didnt just randomly align O'Meara with St.Kilda, he just tipped the Saints would be a front runner if he was leaving GCS.

Just the ideal player we need.

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
Con I'm not too sure we couldn't PURSUE both. DIDN'T say we would get both but I would be happy with either. Joey Roo Fisher and Dempster will more than likely be gone. Freeman Carlisle and Young wont come close to breaking the bank. 10% chance. You said that not me. I wonder if Hawthorn planned 2 flags after buddy left or whether they just got lucky. If your gonna dream. Dream big.Con Gorozidis wrote:So we went from a 10% chance of getting O'Meara to suddenly getting both O'Meara and Prestia?

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
heard it second hand from a workmate who spoke with our coach at a school function richardson spoke at. apparently we are targetting jaeger, just didn't post it as wasn't sure if it was a wish or a likelihood.
hope he has a good year in '16 and is over his knee.

Re: Early Days - Jaeger O'Meara
Is this gonna be part of the redonculous trade of 2016?
"Now the ball is loose, it gives St. Kilda a rough chance. Black. Good handpass. Voss. Schwarze now, the defender, can run and from a long way".....
