How long until the list is in a place where a pure offensive outsider is actually a luxury we can afford though?

About as long as it takes to get Cunners & LDU in the side.

 

[Mav]

Only runs one way and doesn’t pay any respect to his direct opponent.

I don’t see this. He’s often helping out in defense. Can some Telstra Head post his heat maps?

 

[Themanbun]

Unwanted player.

Major deficiencies.

Unwanted?

The Lions cracked the major sads at him for leaving. Hinkley was approaching news outlets this time in 2018 begging him to stay.

 

[Forever North]

He’s perfect for what we thought we were when got him.

Agree, however it’s all gone pear shaped for us unfortunately. Still, he is a senior player on big coin so he needs to set an example to his teammates.

Ok mate.

I'll watch the game you read the news.

[Happy Hour]

This is not correct. He wanted out of the Lions. From memory Port initially offered him 500 for 3 years when we got him. Hardly the sort of offer you make to an unwanted player.

 

[showusyacunningt]

His kicking gets hype, but I'm sure Sam Gibson hit more 20-30 mtrs kicks than him. It's his decision making too, kicks to outnumbered guys, floats balls into the corridor.

He reeks of a guy happy to get paid and kick a nice snag every now and then. He does nothing team orientated.

 

[Roosurgence]

Polec is always going to struggle in a side that is struggling.

People praise Gaff as a great wingman and he is less defensive than Polec.

When we start to play good footy, that’s when you will see the value of Polec.

 

[benbanjo]

Confused out there with the Shaw game plan, looks lost at the moment.
Far from our worst, but some poor disposals tonight.

 

[Falkroo]

Needs to play on the wing. To play with intent and deliver the ball longer to good positions. Maybe there’s more pressure on him to deliver by foot because of the lack of good foot skills throughout the team.
Doesn’t seem to know what a shepherd is...

Was one glaring one tonight in the second half, i Scott may have had the ball on the boundary, wanted the handball receive instead of clearing a path for him.

Is producing the kind of weak unaccountable efforts that saw Ahern shuffled off to the alsorans, probably never to be see again, and Polecs skills aren't nearly as good. May have a few credits up his sleeve, but as far as i'm concerned both the Port boys can pack their bags.

so, until then, we play one man short!

 

[ChoppyGun]

I don’t see this.

You didn't see LT kicks 100s of goals either so....

Glasses time?

 

[Mav]

Is Perez up for a full game?

Give Goldstein a rest as he's tiring.

Great post in the Polec thread. Drop Goldy for Perez!

On Polec, do we really need to be teaching how to be accountable in the center square? Why not let Bonar or Zurhaar go up against Cripps and Danger if we want to teach players.

Na, I saw every single Joe the Goose. I also saw all the late “tackles” missed kicks, burning team mates, stupid attempts at marks and half arsed gutless contests. It’s guys like you that can’t see everything a player does.

 

[Val Keating]

Agreed. We got what we wanted. And he's good at what he does. Like all outside players he does some sh*t that makes you cringe, but it feels like Rhyce may be throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Rhyce and the rest of the football department didn’t recruit him, they inherited him. It’s pretty clear (to me anyway) that Rhyce and the rest have a different way they want to go about it compared to the previous footy department.

They might get it wrong but they won’t die wondering.

Don't sugar coat it. They appear to ******* hate him

Pretty sure Danger went into the centre square only once today.

So LT got all his goals easy, yet Polec hard done by?

LT had faults yes.

Polecs are as bad or worse, plus he's soft which LT wasn't.

 

[Shermanator]

Apparently he’s a different cat.. a Polecat if you will?..

 

[DesertRoo]

Nah, hate has nothing to do with it, they’re looking at A grade talent, playing C grade footy, of course they’re riding his arse.

Where did I say Polec was hard done by? I said he should be dropped in the preview thread.

LT was soft, played for frees all the tome.

Yep, one of the most important center square contests for the match with the game in the balance, and we stick Polec on him.

If we wanted to win the game we wouldn’t have stuck Polec in the middle for that contest. We did it as a learning experience for Polec.

This whole year is a learning experience for Shaw and the footy department I reckon. They have been doing heaps of weird s**t.

Do you think it would’ve come from the box to put Polec on Danger in that situation?
