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

[Snake_Baker]

The system is making him a B rated midfielder at the moment. Nothing else. Intent is good and he's damaging when used correctly.

The switch up handball in the middle that resulted in a goal was a piece of brilliance.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Not worth the money he is paid

At this stage would rather Hall or LDU in

 

[Dingster]

He's part of the solution. Have faith peeps.

'Stiff' new Roo building towards his best - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-17/stiff-new-roo-building-towards-his-best

The goal at the end was pretty impressive.

Not 750k impressive, but impressive nonetheless.

25 touches, a goal, and one tackle.

Hmmm.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I can't think of a team where his strengths would be less utilised than us right now. He's a jet and being flown by a blind man.

 

[Billy Not Really]

I really really don't need to illustrate why we're using Polec incorrectly, when Ricky already showed us with footage with annotations in his assessment at the JLT.

Despite that he's playing well for a man who's drowning underwater by seas of s**t being handed to him from the coaching panel downward.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Buried Hunter in that last quarter. Just killed him going for the loose ball.

Don't know if we changed his role but he did more of the nitty gritty stuff than usually had been allowed by his spacing from contests. One of his best games for the season.

Was definitely going harder at the contest over the weekend.

It's good to see! That's why he was killing it at Port last year. He wasn't a pure outside/finisher type. All of this year I've watched him wait for the ball to make it's way to him when it's an arm's length away, has been so frustrating because I know he's not soft. Has been badly coached this year.

100% agree.

The fact that he (& Hall) have hardly attended any centre bounces is reflective of the poor coaching.

Polec isn't just a wingman, he is actually quite good at breaking tackles and getting clearances

It's good that he is quite good at doing some things. We are paying him $750,000 per year.

He hasn’t displayed that side of his game at north yet because of how he is being coached.

His outside game and kicking is elite.

We might have got an absolute steal then, after all it's only $38,000 per game.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Over paying him a fraction, correction- $34,000 per game.

He's getting one million this year.

 

[DesertRoo]

He's getting one million this year.

I’d buy a pub and retire in the Bahamas on that money.

It was lovely to see someone beating Hunter in a one-one in multiple crucial contests.
Best game of Polecs so far.

WTF is your problem with him? He's entitled to take what he's offered.

Go back and have a look at the set shot goals he's kicked this year, including at least 3 from outside the boundary. Including the clutch one against Sydney that got us back within a kick. Then list all of the players on our list in the last decade who would have kicked each of these goals.

I'll save you time, here's a complete list:

Jared Polec.




We've been crying out for highly skilled players, and I don't understand the mentality behind potting the one we finally got just because we had to pay the market price to get him out of his current club.

 

[Snake_Baker]

My only criticism is that he goes missing for periods of time.

Otherwise, he's been very good and I reckon he still has his best footy ahead of him.

Efa.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

We're only paying $750k/year?

I was lead to believe it was closer to $3.5m/year.....

 

[Barassi Scowl]

Is that you Kane?

 

[Gasometer]

I’d buy a buy and retire in the Bahamas on that money.

Wat is a buy?

Do they sell them at Harvey Norman?

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Efa.

I loved Harps more than most, but reckon he might have struggled with a couple of those longer range ones.
