I'd rather read Barrett's Sliding Doors, and that can cause brain damage.

Jaeger O'Meara has requested a trade interstate.

YOUNG star Jaeger O'Meara has requested a trade from Gold coast, declaring his intentions to join a rival club for 2017.

The prized out-of-contract midfielder joins Dion Prestia in heading for the exit at the Suns ahead of a blockbuster NAB AFL Trade Period.

Gold Coast confirmed the news in a statement on Thursday, with chairman Tony Cochrane saying O'Meara "holds no rights to determine his destination of choice.

"With that being the case, Jaeger is on the market to a club that can provide us compensation we are prepared to accept.

"Should an appropriate exchange not be met he will have the option to enter the draft.

"It's the right time for the club to make a stance. And we do so for the sake of our current players, supporters, partners and the thousands of junior AFL participants who are building the foundation of this club."

Interesting, GC will now have about 47 picks in the top 50 in this year's ND.

So he will end up at Essendon in the ND

GC are stuffed.

GC are stuffed.

They need midfielders.

They need midfielders.

Ones that can get on the park.

They need midfielders.

Nat Fyffe will get a mammoth offer, and Freo heaps of top picks. GCS need to land a big name and good midfielder now. I can see Fyffe also getting an AFEL ambassadorship worth a million or so too, like GAJ too.

With the half dozen first rounders they'll have and need for established players, I'd hope we are trying to best buddies with them. I think they need Koby Stevens for a great pick.

With Prestia and Jaeger on their way, you'd imagine the likes of Stevens, Jong and Hrovat would look fairly tempting.

An ambit claim from GC really.
The guy's played 40 games in 5 years , although highly talented

That's right. He's not Dangerfield or Judd.

I think Cloke, Dawes and Schultz are all passed it.

None of them for me particularly at the possible expense of losing Lin (particularly with Cillingwood's interest).

Dawes was passed it some years ago. Schultz has said how difficult it is now for his body to recuperate each week.
Cloke I don't mind but not if we're to lose Lin for him.

Black has a lot of attributes our other forwards don't have, he's a good contested mark and he can kick straight. Jack Darling was a good comparison, maybe Gunston from Hawthorn. They make the most of their shots and play well in tandem with another key forward.

Yes but whats he been doing for 3 years?????? I know Petrie etc were ahead of him but they must've been ahead of him for a reason! Even with Waite injured he hasn't got a game. If your highlights package is from 3 years ago and getting out on your own for Werribee a few times then I'm not sure whats been happening with him the rest of the time?

Because he's under 30?

Mason Wood couldn't get a game until his agent was inundated with 17 clubs phone calls. A lot of recent North decisions defy logic.
