HYPED Gold Coast teenager Jaeger O'Meara will make his senior debut against St Kilda at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.
The young midfielder, who many believe would have been last year's No.1 draft pick if eligible, has waited a year to make his senior debut because of his age.
He has been given the nod for Round 1 and It is also believed former Docker Greg Broughton and ex-Hawk defender Tom Murphy are locked in to make their club debut against the Saints.
"I am definitely excited – I have been here for a year now and got to know the boys and got to develop my game," O'Meara told SuperFooty today.
"I'm really excited to get the opportunity."
Expectations for the Suns will be low again this season, but O'Meara said there was a quiet internal confidence among the group heading into the club's third season.
"The boys had a really good block of footy at the end of last year and we have had a pretty good NAB Cup campaign," he said.
"We had a great win against Melbourne a couple of weekends ago – I'm not sure how much you can take out of that, but we've definitely taken a bit of confidence.
"It should hold us in good stead come the weekend and the rest of the season."
O'Meara said this year would be about earning respect and being harder at the ball in previous years.
"We need to gain more respect in terms of contested footy," he said.
"We went away from that last year at times, so that will be a focus.
"We've improved strength wise and running wise over the pre-season.
"But we still have to play football, be aggressive at the ball and gain more respect in the AFL."
