Recommitted Jared Polec [contracted and staying at North Melbourne]

[The Nostradamus]

Maybe a new coach might come in and want Polec?

Maybe but I think We would have no issue trading him if the right deal comes along in the last day and a half of trade period

 

[Millsie69]

Surprise Hawthorn are not interested in Polec rather than Phillips

Phillips 4 years younger, is all I can surmise.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Phillips 4 years younger, is all I can surmise.

yep and the fact that phillips was only a token late pick , i expect us to put polec on offer again next year but with less years to run on the backended contract it will be easier to move him

 

[Millsie69]

Wonder if there was any interest in Polec?

Who knows, a new coach may see him in a different light and he may return to getting regular games.

As a 29 year old !! I think the chances of moving him on would be extremely hard next year and Roo's will probably need him

Yeah he wouldn’t net us much but it is what it is - taking his money off the book and giving it to a younger player is worth it

What a debacle this trades been for the Roos. Pick 11 for a bloke who’s not getting a game and they want to offload 2 years after bringing him over.

Yeah poor deal by us

But in saying that the pick 11 was going to get absorbed by the Tarryn Thomas

So Polec deal was almost looked at like you would a free agent

should have found a better player to pay though

heavily front ended deal tho and his last 2 years will just be the afl average wage essentially, expect him to be on the trade table next year fairly cheap

Also last year for Hall next year , so a relief .

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Who knows, a new coach may see him in a different light and he may return to getting regular games.

You could argue he did return to regular games - he missed four straight and then played the last three.

 

[perplexed]

Still four left for Ellis? Feeling backed up?

Yes, our previous footy department/administration was nothing short of a disgrace.

 

[robbo1981]

Hopefully Jared proves alot of people wrong he is a bloody good player.
Sure his not great defensively but does work back hard and obviously is a great ball user.
Not sure what happened last yr Reece didn't like something but expect him to go well next yr.

 

[Millsie69]

I get pretty much any other position on the field needing to have a defensive element to their game, but surely wingers are meant to simply provide forward run? As if it was reason enough to drop him after a game he received coaches votes from the opposition coach!

Especially given he was asked to play defensively on F'ing Patrick Cripps

! WTF Rhyce? lol

He was told to do a job by his coach, He then publicly defied the coach and was consequently dropped the following week.

If he has a problem with the coach's instructions, do it after the game and behind closed doors. Not during the game and in view of the rest of the team.

Will back the coach every day of the week here.

 

[Jugada]

Shouldn't be doing it in public but Shaw had all the strategic nous of some yobbo coaching his sons juniors. Couldn't back any of his decision making. Was highlighting his players weakness' and hiding their strengths. How the * is that quick string bean Polec supposed to do a defensive roll on an inside bull.

Expect Polec and a lot of other North players to improve a lot next year under a different coach

In fairness to Rhyce, he is easily the best coach his family has produced.
Polec is a very good player who only gets judged on what he is bad at. He will play good footy again next year but be bagged for it.

 

[Off Tap]

Also last year for Hall next year , so a relief .

I wonder how much chasing both Hall and Polec are going to be prepared to do next year as it's a fair guess the ball will be heading into their backline a fair bit next year.

Let's hope that the Roos don't fall for guys like these two during their rebuild and instead land some young talent instead of burning picks.

Yeah but we certainly are not alone with some not perfect trades Hogan just to prove a point every team has one.

I keep hearing this from North supporters but thats just not correct there was other trades that could have been done to avoid losing that pick without having to use it on a nothing player.

Trade up or trade into the following year were easy options

Correct those are options we should have done, maybe we tried and got no bites

the trading up obviously harder to achieve but the trading into next year should have been done

 

[The Nostradamus]

Expecting both us and Polec wanting time seek a trade for a mid/late pick

2 years left on average wage after front losing the first few years

Could see him fit on a wing at essendon, saints or blues

Worth absolutely nothing, no way does he get you a mid pick.

A mid pick? Middle of the 4th round you mean?

Bloke is on big money and has a worse weak foot than Robben. Nobody is touching that.
