Player Watch #13: Jared Polec

[Event Horizon]

gr performed the delivery, having seen five of his own close up.

And probably has it on video as well

 

[Event Horizon]

I think he played just under 100 at Port, so 100 for us would be nice.

90 for Port, 35 for us. So 3 solid injury free seasons required

TT has the corresponding video of the conception.

He knows the baby

He knows the baby

Didn't they play footy together or something?

Finals will get him there.

As suspected. Front runner, who didn't like to defend

Polec is about 14 times the footballer that Durdin is.

Ironically, Sam also didn't seem that keen on defending this year either. The difference, and problem, being that Sam was supposed to be playing as a defender.

and Rhyce were the only two in the meeting and dropped the news.

“It was quite a shock, but that’s footy unfortunately.

“I’ll be honest I was pretty angry and still a bit dirty, but that’s just the industry, it’s a cutthroat industry and nothing this year went my way I thought.

Righto.

 

[ferball]

Did he need to say that about Polec in public?

 

[Passmore]

Did he need to say that about Polec in public?

They had to talk about something. I'm guessing that SEN weren't really interested in Durdin.

I reckon Sam has now done more media since he was sacked than he's done in the 6 years of his AFL career.

 

[ferball]

Well most players who get into the media do so after they finish up. Good on Sam for giving it a crack.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Did he need to say that about Polec in public?

Not when you somehow seem to be surprised to be delisted after doing nothing for years.

I dislike Polec and how he plays sometimes, but Sam has no business commentating on any another player imo.

It’s a career move?

 

[ferball]

It’s a career move?

He definitely needs to make one... why not.

 

[Psicosis]

Christ. Why are these delisted players/hacks getting a platform.

Sam, you are not good enough for AFL level. Time to move on.

It's amazing how those delisted had zero interest in the trade market yet somehow still feel aggrieved being removed from the 17th placed team?

Baffling really.

Shows how entitled we've made players feel in the past I suspect, that contracts are just a formality if turn up on time and a good bloke.

Spot on Chop.

It was far too easy to get retained under the previous regime.

Righto.

Nothing went right for him from the start

It’s almost like these players are deeply cut from the Brad Scott cloth. “He will never drop me” mentality

Exactly. Maybe this further confirms we did the right thing by delist these entitled type players (apart from Jmac and Daw)

 

[Passmore]

He definitely needs to make one... why not.

If he’s pissed at North he can be mentored by Barrett.

But he almost never got selected under Scott. Anyway Im sure hell be the next Kardashians or something.

Good point. Call out the bullshit and revisionism.

The Durdin stuff said more about the coach than Polec anyway.

 

[LB2Snake]

There’s a fair underlying current of the coaching group‘s shortcomings. Different timo and place now, plus a weird year, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard players speak less than glowingly of their club they’ve just departed.

Their issue not ours mate.

Most of them we gave second chances or way too many chances to perform so good riddance if they are pissed off.
