No.1 pick
Fair enough
He was pick 1 in the mini-draft yeah, but you know what's funny though? People talk about Prestia being injury-prone when there's very little to suggest his injuries will be overly chronic or recurrent. On the other hand O'Meara's injuries are EXACTLY THAT yet everybody seems to think he's worth all the currency because he was a number 1 pick and had two good seasons - yet hasn't played AFL for two years since!
Heck even Lids' injuries reek of recurrence and the typical soft-tissue nature of a bloke whose body is failing him yet people think getting Caddy in return is a poor outcome for a bloke so cooked and disinterested in staying. Honestly I'd have traded Lids to Hawks in exchange for Lewis at this stage...
I think they are dirty on Jaeger for requesting a trade.
Agreed, and I can imagine them waiting until the last minute before accepting Hawk's offer otherwise they lose him for nothing. GCS really must be a crap place to play given how many people want out...
