O'Meara

[Goosey]

I think it's silly but talk me out of this trade.

Pickett -> Newman via Adams, JOM -> Murphy.

Chasing points? I believe so. But MM is going nuts.

Laird, Howe, Marchbank, Jones, Otten, Hampton (Newman, Stewart)
Danger, Fyfe, Rocky, Treloar, Murphy, Beams, Adams, SPS (SPP, Barrett, Parfitt)
Witts, Sandi (Strnadica)
Dahl, Macrae, Nank, Rough, Higgins, Steele (Butler, Eddy)

Exactly what I should have done this week wato, J.Ramsay to Newman, could have looped his 100, then JOM to Murphy, could have avoided his 44, not sure why I decided to play with caution this week, I normally trade without a care!

Swallow has sat out a bit of this last term though with hamstring soreness. Missed round one because of a calf.

Can we trust his body?

Not going near Swallow due to that and his bye.

I have the money to go O'Meara to a premo like Bont so that's what I'll be doing.  8)

This...to Dusty

[WizzFizz]

what is everyone doing with him?

[Bully]

what is everyone doing with him?

I'm trading, he was always picked for cash generation but the 44 has put an end to that. In comes Miller.

[TomK]

what is everyone doing with him?

Not sure, only 4k in the bank so options are limited.

Could go to Hayward in the fwd line by moving Parfitt to the mids, allows me to play SPP/SPS at M7/8, doesn't look like I'll be losing too much in points if at all and I gain 200k for an upgrade soon.

[Gavdroid]

Trading to Newman via McGrath to mid bench, SPP to field. Banking the cash for now

[LordSneeze]

The O'Meara overreaction has been insane. He is 300k, had 2 years off and has only played 3 games in a new side.

If your willing to trade him this quickly why pick him in the first place.

Probably due to alot of reasons. He doesn't kick the flowering ball for a start. Hawthorn were expected to be far better than they've shown so far, will be a tough year for them... And we all know it's hard to score points in a mediocre side that lose more games than they win. He doesn't look up to dominating AFL games at this stage, and are we supposed to take scores of 40-60 every week while we wait for him to get back to his best? I think most of us overestimated his 'readiness' and I think it's perfectly reasonable if you have a one trade to a premo/Newman to bank cash, that it should be a viable option to trade him.

Well i didn't tip Hawks to go 0-3 and to lose to GC by almost 90 points.

71 89 44 is basically rookie numbers.

but essentially it boils down to this, I have SPP on the bench and i would feel just as comfortable playing him.

Have had the cash in the bank to go JOM to miller who is going 117 80 114 and is a forward.

Feel you just made my point for me.
40-60 points shows the weight you have put on the last game. He had an 89 and a 71 prior to this.

Hawks pushed the Crows and should have gone on to beat Essendon. Again judging full season off one really poor game where the entire team struggled.

If he will average 70 its worth keeping and using as a stepping stone to a prem later or if he improves you have a cheap M9.

But you dont pick a 300k player expecting premium numbers. He is picked as a stepping stone. JOM to me is still that player. Still say if willing to drop after 1 poor game then why pick him.

Did you actually expect 90+ average cause i think that would be ambitious given his situation.

I expected him to average 10-15 more points than SPP, which it doesn't look like he will do.

Never expected premium numbers but this is not a midpricer its an injured almost premo.

The guy went 90 as a rookie and then 98 in his second year. Expecting a 85-90 actually wasnt too much to ask, yes he is coming back from injury but you could actually argue he should have been ahead of where he was as a first year player.

He is averaging less then some of my 120k players.

Otten, Houston, Preuss, Newmanall beating him easy.

+1 have to rid of Gawn and would much rather have Pendles or Sloane in my mids instead of Mr O'Meara

yeah it all depends on your situation.

Gawn to Witts and JOM to Pendles is a no brainer.

im going Bowes to Newman and then have some cash in the bank to bring in a forward premo. So really im bringing in a keeper so its not a waste of 2 trades.
