Past #13: Jared Polec - delisted end '21 - redrafted w/ #1 in '21 RD - re-delisted end '22 - 42 NM games/20 NM goals

[Groucho]

I am a cynic but if he is still at North next year Jared will perform like he did in his first year at the club.
Final year of contract does amazing things to certain players (was told this also by afl person been in the industry a long time).

He’s contracted till 2023

 

[The Nostradamus]

I keep thinking that but then I think - why? He has offered nothing so far, really. he is a journeyman and it's time to move on.

Mentioned in the trade thread but if anyone gives us a mid range pick in the 30/40s for Polec take it and run like we did with Higgins and then it into another young player to fill a gap like Lazzaro last year

I can’t see him leaving Vic so it would be clubs higher up like essendon, cats, Dees, blues, tigers and saints who could be options

 

[Chairman Zia]

We front ended Polecs initial deal. He’s playing for bugger all. On that solitary point, he stays. He will not return anything in the top 30 picks. I think theres more benefit to team performance having him stay around.

he is the risk we have to take, if we ditch him, no one will want to come over anytimes soon.

We must also recognize that for a lot of the free agents, jumping ship is a way to gain more secure employment. That's why so many goes to carlton becaues they pay good money with longterm contract and they are secure.

We need to keep polec becaues for one, he might get back to his best form when injury free. When polec is on song, he is our most damaging midfielder.

Secondly, by keeping faith in him, only 2 more years, we show others that we are happy to stick to players and give them confidence. This will allow others to consider us more nex ttime.

 

[giantroo]

He's the medi-sub today.

He brings a little bit more flexibility than Cox did last night as the medical sub for the pies ?!!! Lol Wtf?!

It’s really up to him, there’s been rumours that his buy in hasn’t been great. If he buys in sure fine keep him but I’ve got no qualms giving him the flick, he took premium wages for mixed performances

Noble was asked about him. The biggest take away was the reference to GPS data. He’s clearly not working hard enough.

Listening to Harvey justify that after the game was hilarious.

I we dump him he’d still get paid.

it affects the image of the club, why would any future free agents come to north when a highly paid 5 year player is cut after 3 due to difficulties.

Because all other recruits have stayed the journey

polec is an outlier

outlier players generally have outlier abilities, we need to be aware that it's not one size fits all.

top top clubs has room to cater to people of different needs.

Yes all types of needs

 

[Chairman Zia]

Played quite well, moved okay, certainly as good as jed.

 

[teethmeetsflesh]

great linking handball for tarryn's 4th(??) goal. I'd like to see him play out the year

 

[Themanbun]

Never been Adonis but did not look very fit.

 

[justroyal]

I'd say he is one of our most gifted footballers/naturally talented. A graders if you will.
I put Stephenson, TT, Cunnington, Polec, LDU and into that fit for our club.

Players who just ooze talent, it's like second nature for them - almost as if they possess a deft touch.
If we can find space for him, great, we're set

You can add Powell and Phillips to that list.

Whoops I thought I put Phillips there completely forgot about Powell playing on our team .
But spot on.

These types are rare to have. So if it meant that Dumont did leave and we got to keep Polec on the wing. I'd be ok with that

 

[roos_fanatic08]

When polec is on song, he is our most damaging midfielder.

He really isn’t…TT, Stepho, LDU, Cunnington all far more damaging and in the future the first 3 will do it on a far more consistent basis than Polec ever has across his career.

 

[Jindrrk]

He’s contracted till 2023

Good.

Don't want him gone.

 

[Chairman Zia]

polec has a role to play, if he could be our midtier player then we are doing quite well.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

polec has a role to play, if he could be our midtier player then we are doing quite well.

He has a role to play if he can pull his finger out and actually play an unselfish role for the side. Until his defensive running and efforts are up to scratch then I doubt he is going to get much game time under noble. Shaw seenthe same deficiencies in his game last year that led to him being dropped on multiple occasions.

 

[Forever North]

Can be a very damaging player and has talent so keep. Our midfield will be top shelf in a couple of years, teams will be focusing on TT, LDU, Simpkin etc which means Polec will maybe be the ’forgotten’ one.

 

[DesertRoo]

If Polec gets in the open in the centre, like a lot of play today, we win by ten goals plus.
