Special!
Big welcome to the Polson family! Love your passion!
Am an old Haileyburian too, so nice to see another of the bloods in blue.

that is brilliant! sometimes you forget how much it means to the young men and their families - it's actually not about us at all!

Don't be ridiculous.

Old Haileybury boy myself. Hopefully he has a better career than Dylan Smith.

I was actually hoping to find a gif of that kool mints woman saying that, but I've had a bottle of really shit bubbly and I can't be arsed. But please know my intentions were humorous.

I would change just one letter and go with Hank.

But that's pretty obscure too.

goldman sachs?

Shoulder injury just like SOSOS.. seems like SOS has a sneaky knack for picking up some bargains in the draft just like he does in trade week.

As for Polson being 184cm now (listed as 177cm on the AFL draft tracker), I think this makes him a really handy height especially with that speed. Should be able to play both forward and midfield and create a few matchup nightmares with that speed.

Love the video of him and his family reacting to getting drafted by Carlton. A great moment. Good luck to him and I have a good feeling about this selection. Also in his highlights video, I love that chase down tackle which set up an easy goal. Defensive plays like that will make him a Bolton favourite pretty quickly. Looks like we have added a few similar players now that have changed up our slow, one-paces midfield and added some real defensive pressure.

Be funny if he gets the nickname Campo haha
Looks a goer with nice deft skills.

Not sure what I like more, getting players I liked at relatively predictable pick - SPS, Fisher - known players at unexpected value picks - Macreadie (47), Kerr (last pick) - or those I had absolutely no idea about and then watch small glimpses of and go wow......hope it translates to the big boys and the shoulder is OK...CP looks like a bit a Daniel/Hrovat combo meal but I'm sure someone else will find a better comparison type player

I have watched it about 20 times so far and still get a happy tear.

Would be great if he has that little bit of extra height. But I have my doubts looking at those highlights.

Looks like a gun; a playmaker; doesn't just wait for it.

Well to be fair, those highlights were from early in the year pre-injury, so there's every chance he has grown since then.

Crickey! That literally gave me tingles up my spine. Thanks for posting that.

Like ODN I've played it a bunch of times now and still had the same reaction. Fantastic!

The dog was pretty excited too. Loved the video, dad seemed pretty pleased.

The video suggests he had an inkling we would pick him up.

Agree, as soon as they read out his first name they started screaming.

Cats and blues showed interest but it's never a guarantee no matter what they tell them. Would've known we had few picks in that range so if he was picked it'd have been in that next five minute block.

One piece of play that really stood out for me was his front & centre positioning at a marking contest in the forward line (0.52sec).

For me it was 1:36 running back with the flight when all around him were ball watching, then gathered the loose ball and ran through the lot of them. Impressive piece of play.

He knew about three months ago...

I see a little bit of Murphy but with a bit more flair
