O'Meara AFL debut a key moment for Suns March 27, 2013 - 4:19PM Of all the youngsters to debut in the AFL for Gold Coast, none has been as anticipated as Jaeger O'Meara. Picked up by the Suns as the first pick of the 2011 mini-draft, O'Meara will turn out for the club in Saturday's season opener against St Kilda after being ineligible last year due to his age. It's been a long wait for the 19-year-old West Australian and Suns' fans, who have only had glimpses of O'Meara's talent in past pre-season cup campaigns. And all eyes will be on the midfielder when he does take to the park, given he's already been picked out as a future leader by Suns captain Gary Ablett, while other reports have labelled him as the next Chris Judd. It's a level of expectation O'Meara is well aware of. "I guess there is a little bit of pressure coming from that expectation," he told reporters on Wednesday. (But) I'm pretty focused and determined to do well for the team. I'm going to be doing everything I can for the team this weekend and hopefully a few more times this year. Definitely very excited. I've been here for 12 months now and it's been a long time coming. Obviously we've got a young group here so I've asked a few of the boys how they've handled it. They just said it's just another game so that's way you've got to take it. It's my first AFL game and hopefully there's more to come. Former Fremantle defender Greg Broughton will also make his first start for the Suns on Saturday. He first encountered O'Meara as a 16-year-old academy player spending time with the Dockers and is confident his young teammate will live up to the hype. "I saw some super talent when he came and trained with us there," Broughton said. I reckon he's put on at least eight kilos and he's so levelheaded for his age. It's just great to see - he's going to be a great player of the future for this club.
