His defensive coasting is wearing thin.

Any lip readers here? I'd love to know what that conversation was between him and Rhyce on the bench.

A pretty animated one and a not happy Rhyce by the look of things

The body language fits just as well with multiple scenarios.

Polly saying "my ankle's rooted are you seriously putting me back out there?"

Polly saying "come on coach do I really have to sit here for 4 minutes when I could be out helping the team?"

Polly saying "Do I have to follow him everywhere, even if he drags me to the goal square?"

They all fit!

Good pickup thought there might be more discussion of this.

Think the boys might now get to see the 'other side' of good bloke Rhyce.

His pride had to be getting stung watching his mentor's team out-muscle and out-think his during key moments. I'm ok as a supporter with the players wearing a bit of his frustration.

What a difference a week makes.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He tried hard, but they definitely sat on him. They knew with Cunners out the ball was not going to be rolling our way as much and that negating Higgo & Polec would curb our offensive transition significantly.

We were done over in the coaches box.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was about a tackle that Polec had laid a few minutes earlier. Got his arms around the opponent but lacked conviction and the opponent was able to get his arms clear and get a clean possession out.

Expecting a new Shinboner! #fatherson

 

[roos_fanatic08]

If there looks to be any sign of contact Polec goes from classy to fumbly in a matter of milliseconds.

He was terrible last night.
Robbo was right.
That loopy hospital pass to McDonald was a game killer and was indicative of the form we find ourselves in. Just s**t house.

 

[Aberration]

I'd be interested to see his heatmap in comparison to last year. To the eye, I feel like he is getting a lot more possessions in the back half and kicking less inside 50.

Think it's symptomatic of our issues at the moment. Since the back six aren't offering much by way of rebound, he's finding himself back there a lot more often, which in turn, drags our forwards up the ground and the structure goes out the window.

Would love to see him get involved more forward of center like in the GWS game. More long range goals and some quality delivery to the forwards. We need him up and going again.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Not currently producing what he should be but he is reliant on others getting him the ball, but I'd expect more.

He was pushing back as much last year I thought. I liked that he was often at our defensive goal square behind the ball providing support.

It's symptomatic of our transition issues that he isn't getting forward as much imo.

 

[tazaa]

His soft efforts are embarrassing.
I was gonna say who does he think he is coming to the club and expecting to get away with s**t like that. But he’s actually fitting in perfectly.

The bloke port supporters affectionately called Shittard, is in our leadership group after one year at the club.
Just think about that.....

 

[brettman135]

8 clangers tonight, has been poor with the footy this year.

 

[Mute Point]

He's coasting

yeah I get it but you are in the Polec thread.

 

[Billy Not Really]

When the team isn't working, Polec isn't. He's icing on the cake, and when the cake ain't there he's useless.

However his ball use lately has been really poor.

 

[Mr north man]

Another Joyce choice that has worked at well

 

[roos_fanatic08]

As soon as there is any pressure he fumbles. Some deer in headlights stuff.

For a supposed ‘classy user’ his kicking and decision making has been crap all year.

2020 averages:
62% DE
11 Pressure acts
4 turnovers per game.

Coasting is an under statement

 

[hellas_johnny]

Was in the middle instead of the wing and you could see how much he didn't go in. How mck times did he just wait for the opponent too get the ball if he doesn't go in then he can fk off

 

[Johnny99]

yeah I get it but you are in the Polec thread.

No you dont get it.

He was PART of the Polac trade that got him to NMFC.

I understand that but you know there is a Shittard thread also?
