News Jared Polec signs for Hoppers Crossing

[Nemisis]

Polly will stay but he must be laughing all the way to the bank with the amount of interest from other clubs.
Got a feeling Port don't rate him as high as they should.
The Pole Cat could be our B&F this year.

I’m sure they do. I’m also sure they remember him missing a big chunk of footy with a foot injury. Anything over 2 years has to have an injury clause in it.

Anyway Jared said twice that he wants to be signed up before finals so
in 3 weeks we will know,
does he stay or does he go.

Polec has made no indications he's leaving, but there is a definitely a divide between what he (or his management) thinks he's worth and what the club think he's worth. I think he'll stay but certainly not over the line.

I really don't think it's the money being offered, it'd be the length of the contract just like Wines.

You'd be surprised.

May have been said elsewhere already, but a friend of mine attended the recent italian night and was sat on polec's table.

Just saying, polec wasn't very shy in making it known that he'd been offered 750 or so elsewhere. This friend is a carlton man (but has a low football care factor), so I do believe him.

My offer to help him pack still stands. It’s his great fortune if North pay him $700k+ pa.

I don't.

 

[Ateen7tee]

I don't.

Totally understand, but if you knew him, you would. Not saying he definitely isn't talking crap, but if is, it's totally out of character. He just doesn't football. His motivation to attend the Italian night is 99.9% Italian, not footy.

Fair enough but if true I'd find it stupid he would tell some random stranger what he'd been offered elsewhere. Truly dumb.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I love the pole cat and want him to stay; but he doesn't come across as a savvy genius. I'm happy that the club knows his value and will offer a contract accordingly.

I thought he was Polish?

 

[scottjr]

I'm sure he's staying on reasonable terms.

600ks in Adelaide matchs 700ks in Melbourne tax and cost of living and not being at North Melbourne taken into consideration.

I am thinking North Melbournes pick and possibly Rozee as a losing position is palatable as well.

I'm referring to my mate who attended Italian night where polec was on his table

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Deserves 750. Is better and more influential than several players on more.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Polec is exactly the type who would say how much he's been offered elsewhere. When questioned about his form, he outwardly says "Don't worry, it's a contract year.", it's just who he is. He's a odd unit but he's well liked.

 

[RossFC]

So we know North are offering 700k for 5 years according to the media, I'd offer 600k for 3 years, I wonder what Port would be putting on the table.

 

[Marsh1870]

We're talking about the bloke who sells his own guernseys on Gumtree, plus a premium for a signature.

Yeah, I believe it.

 

[TeeKray]

He's always come across as a bit aloof to me on camera and in real life. Not necessarily in an arrogant way but just a space cadet sort of way.

In the end, he's going to get better offers elsewhere, the key thing will be him actually wanting to stay in Adelaide/at the footy club.

 

[dav3]

He played this game before he joined us, he's playing it again now. He loves the club so I'm sure it'll get done

We should start talking up Amon. Maybe North will fall for that.

He’s a risk of leaving if they offer $1m per year

Yeah don’t agree. Injury cloud still hanging over his head, and if he left and we had a 750k salary cap slot we could find someone equally or perhaps even more influential

Good player. Would be massively missed but not throwing the bank at him. If we don’t get a home town discount then let him walk.

His injury history is a valid point.

Let me put it this way - at full strength, injury free, he is a 750+ player.

Why not the middle ground of 3 years fixed, with an automatic 4th year if plays enough games, with similarly for 5th. Should give all parties what they are after.
