Jager O'Mera

Report in today's Hun that he's had an arthroscope to remove a small flap of something in his knee. Delayed his comeback till about round six. Definitely a buyer beware for anyone considering the Jaeger bomb.

Agree.
His body can't keep up with his ability.

Yep, they don't often come back to their full ability after wretched injury runs like this.
 
The thing I notice with GC youngsters is they get BIG VERY QUICK!

Looking at JOM, he is way too big for a youngster.

His body does not have the tolerances for that kind of extra mass yet. Ditto Bennell.

IMO the Fitness blokes up there are to blame.
 
We forget Chimp had a couple of years of Achilles injuries before getting over them.
 
1 season is a long long time in footy, if he got through the second half of the season his price would be high , but still a risk, again if we finished top 4 I'd be inclined to take the punt , of course depending on price, lots of ifs an buts, but he could well be the difference, again a champion race horse ain't much good with 3 legs
 
Been saying this injury will hinder his career long term for a while.

The appeal of a move to Melbourne is to set himself up for life after footy from what I have heard.

Shame both he and Crouch seem to be injury riddled. Having said that, I've always thought Jaeger was a tad overrated so unless we got him for cheap I'd pass.

wasn't Dank there for a while? may have passed on some trade secrets
 
O'Meara will be a fair bit cheaper than he was valued this time last year. Had 2 major injuries since then and a history of knee issues.

yep. and there's a few of them in the AFL. they come from a different school of thought - translating it into football seems to cause issues for some players because it's not always individually geared. like doctors who prescribe the same medicine for everyone. dumb.
