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

[Roos4eva]

Jeez, I hope he stays but after the Brown news, I’m not so sure now.

Huge rebuild occurring that’s for sure.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Luckily Snake isn't around to abuse the sh*t out of me.

Mail the same today. (as per last 2 months)

He's gone. We will accept unders if required, we want picks to add to our healthy amount already.

Pick around 25-30 would be fair with us paying some of his contract

 

[Souup]

Pay half his salary and try and get the best pick possible.

What a disaster this was and in the best draft of the last decade.

Lewis should be hung, drawn and qtred.

Said it at the time that trading away our firstr rounder for Polec was an insanely stupid move and that we needed to take that pick to the draft.

Not sure what the hell we were thinking.

We were thinking we needed "run and carry" like scomo says we need "jobs and growth".

It was a stupid decision. He's a problem now. Imagine looking at his CV in the real world. Kid has the skills sure... But you're moving company every 6 months. Why?

And now we know.

Seems like we are now cleaning up those mistakes

Why was it a stupid move? Tarryn Thomas was in that draft. We would have had to use it on him (pick 11).

Not sure I'd take it.

Two picks in 20s done deal.

Any first round ideas are fanciful at best.

Adelaide bid on him with 8, so 11 was gone anyway. Given we configured things to also get Taylor in that draft then I'd say we'll look back on that one okay.

 

[LB2Snake]

Just been told by my ITK GoDees mate that we are prepared to “not only give Polec away but we will be footing a significant part of his annual contract.”

 

[iSmack]

Trade immediately.

Has been dropped at Port and now with us for the exact same reason. Does not defend and is a lousy two way runner.

It's in his DNA to never ever run defensively as hard as he runs offensively.

How can you look blokes like Anderson, Simpkin, Dumont, Thomas in the eye when Polac dishes that up for a grand total of $700,000.

Thats how rot sets in.

Evict immediately.

Good grief.

Good grief.

Unbelievable

 

[Grogg]

Good grief.

A very good player and clearly an asset with the ball in hand. Losing that skillset given our dearth in quality users would be a massive call, but if the supposed dissent and disrespect floated on here is in anyway accurate, he's gone for mine.

We aren't just doing a team reset, we are doing a culture reset. Anybody not on board 100% gets shown the door.

I hope that's not Polec, fwiw.

As far as I can see so far, a player with a poor attitude got dropped then made his way back in.

He's either going to be much better for it, and the club knows it, or we cut our losses and move on. Haven't read enough to suggest either.

Oh yeah totally with you on all of that.

I'm just a mug punter with zero inside goss observing from the outer. Anything I say is based on that typical mug punter viewpoint.

To be fair Lewis got the arse in 2016.

Lewis departs Arden St

After more than a decade at North Melbourne, Bryce Lewis’ time at the Roos has come to an end

Brad picking up McMahon from Geelong will go down as one of the worst decisions in a long time.

 

[Psicosis]

Pretty simple strategy with Polec for mine, we pay close to his full wage and the highest bidder gets him.

Most teams in the top 4-6 have a tight salary cap. The opportunity to add a player of Polecs ability without touching their salary cap, is pretty enticing.

I've written that (about having to use pick 11 on TT) before and had a wise BFer snort, adding "as if that was our only option". IDK what our other option was. If we'd known Adelaide would bid we might have tried to trade up to 7. Draft boards had TT drifting down into the teens.

for those thinking we could trade from 11 up into the top 6, it would have taken 11 and a senior core player, or cost us the picks we used on Curtis and Bailey

with the benefit of hindsight we should have seen if Melbourne wanted pick 11 for their first rounder in 2019, they finished 5th in 2018, but really who expected them to fall to second last in 2019

Yep their tight squeezes are our leverage.

So to speak.

Lewis? For recruiting Polec? :stern look

It's harsh but not far wrong mate.......

 

[LB2Snake]

When does this bloke say, “Fk this, I’m sticking fat and I’ll show you the player I can become“
He‘s got the tools to be far tougher, more explosive and more dominant. Gunna be remembered as an outside mercenary type player that just wanted things on his terms. Wake up dude.

 

[White Krakouer]

Why was it a stupid move? Tarryn Thomas was in that draft. We would have had to use it on him (pick 11).

We should have packaged Pick 11 with something else and got a pick ahead of the Tarryn bid.

Basically the move Port made with our Pick 11 to secure Connor Rozee.
