Profile:
Touted as the best young player in the game today. At only 20 years of age Jaeger has already proved he is going to be a fantastic player for years to come. He has the body to be a star and it shows as the midfielder has yet to miss a game in his AFL career through injury or suspension. He has also never been subbed out or started as the sub. O'Meara has a relatively high ceiling with 3 scores of 116 this year and toning up 10 times. But as most first/second year players are he is not without inconsistency. He had low scores of 63 and 57 this year. That 57 was in the last round which will hopefully drop his price. ;)

Pros:
-Still young and has potential to average over 100
-Not going to get tagged whilst he is alongside GAJ
-Kicks a fair few goals
-May be underpriced due to 57 in round 23

Cons:
-Can have low scoring weeks
-Might be a bit random but.. he doesn't seem to like the hot weather. He plays better at night or when the temperature isn't too high.

Great write up Levis. Plenty to think about in there. Really like his durability, and I'd think he will start to add some consistency to those scores this year. Interesting point about him struggling in the hot - could be that he hasn't built the aerobic capacity to work through exceptionally draining games - again I'd think he will mature past that very soon.

Probably not on my radar this year, but potentially a future lock!

[Vinny]

I am huge fan of Jeager, absolute freak. Pretty sure he will be able to average 97+ next season and as Spink said add the consistency to his game. He has all the skills to be one of the best players in the competition. Going to enjoy watching him in years to come.

Nice write-up man.

[pommyadam]

not liking the hotter weather isn't that much of a concern
and then I remember that he plays for GoldCoast

pass from me then

may be a good selection in draft leagues
but can't see him taking that extra step to become a keeper (or top 15 mid at that), or not this coming season at least

[Sweetness]

At that price you would want him to comfortably average over 100. Not sure yet.

[nrich102]

I think he can go 100+. Ideally I won't be starting with him, but fitting Rocky and Gaz in may force me to pick guys like JOM.

Great write up man  ;)

[Capper]

12 of 24 scores below 100. Dont know if i can start him next year as there will be too many other good options out there to choose

[Ricochet]

Reckon Jaeger will explode as soon as GAJ makes that move to the fwd line, but thats probably another 1-2 years away. Nice writeup Levis

Firstly, guns  :o
Secondly, agree that he (along with everyone else in GC midfield) will improve fantasy-wise when Ablett gets out of there.
