Jared Polec

[Pt Augusta Power]

Mildly disappointed but five years is a quantum leap if confirmed.

Polec at his best is breathtakingly brilliant but not value for five years.

It's the way of the AFL these days, so be it.

Will be amazingly good at any other club - you watch him notch up 300 games now he is away from us.

Polec is a gun, we won’t see his potential at port but I doubt we will see anyone’s potential given our record of developing players

 

[Magus]

Who cares, we’re ****** with Polec / we’re ****** without him.

Wingard will be off to the hawks next year too.

You're an asset to this board.

**** off campaigner.

Cheers

I really rate Polec and I know I should be unhappy or angry about him leaving. But I actually don't care. I never thought I would feel this way as I am very passionate about Port, and in general. But this club has finally broken me. I am officially ECO. It's a nice feeling btw.

Clarko said he enjoyed coaching Wingard years ago when he was coaching the IR it's been the only tenuous link brought up time to time ever since.. Wingard coming out of contract will attract calls to his manager from far and wide in reality.

Well, the story I heard Wingard wants to go there potentially, and that doesn't surprise me either. He has looked disinterested this year and i'd say it has a lot to do with the current game-style and coach. He's a creative player, plays on instinct, all of a sudden he has nimby Lade telling him to pass it off instead of doing what they should be embracing.

Lade can piss off, i've seen enough of him on the TV to tell he's a dead set idiot.

I'm hoping Schofield comes in and lets the creativity come back in, Lade can go coach the SANFL.

Still makes me wonder about Polec too re game-style. If we were on the verge again and playing like 2014 would he be going? not so sure, when people are disenchanted with their workplace they leave, seen it plenty of times before. Maybe Polec is just about the $$ but maybe he's also the first domino.

I bet he will have more impact at North than the three we brought in this year.

Hopefully, the boys 'gel' over summer, go on a fishing trip together or something...

Probably the only player we cant afford to lose at the moment...all I can say is we better not be planning to pay Lycett the money we could be giving to Polec!

Also 5 years for Polec shouldn't be an issue.

 

[snozulu]

Channel 9 just reporting Polec has accepted North's offer.

It is what it is i suppose. Time to move forward and bring in a good player with North's pick.

Wingard will not

 

[Andre]

I don’t blame Polec, a shit load more money, a happy (very hot) wife to be and out from a game style that smothers creativity and any enjoyment playing. If we were a credible flag threat for 2019 I think we could have swayed him to stay, but we aren’t, so just chalk it up to another Port fan Ken has driven to disillusionment with the club.

 

[PowerBaz]

**** off campaigner.

If I was a client I'd be approving everything Bomber presented at the moment.... !

 

[PowerBaz]

A forced change can't be a bad thing, we just have to find another way.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Ah well if he’s gone he’s dead to me but our club had better not lose out on this trade. Norf want to steal him, they need to pay.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

First player of note we’ve lost since Shaun Burgoyne.

Best of luck to him.

 

[MrMeaner]

Polec’s manager being overseas has become the new ‘the cat’s on the roof’.

Is he not taking the club’s calls and we are so credulous as to believe he’s overseas or does the club think supporters are going to keep buying the line?

To be fair, Ken is probably only repeating what Polly said.
AnywAy, this player movement will become the norm. We need to learn to let go and trust our list will eventually improve from the changes.

 

[Boxx]

I wouldn’t play him. What if he does a knee. Where does that leave us?

I actually agree with this - we need to protect the value of out asset now... he is nothing more to our club than a stock in the meat market.

Get the prize bull ready for sale!

 

[FishingRick04]

See ya Polly, have a good one.

 

[all seeing eye]

Torn about this one, really is too much to pay versus the risk equation. Unfortunately he's had a ripper season and is one area where don't have clear coverage in. Draft compo helps, but it could go either way ie breaking down physically in coming years or like S Burgoyne , he comes back to haunt us forever.


Time will tell, buts that the game these days.

Be prepared.
He will be lauded a star just for playing for a Vic club.

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

Absolutely shattered, but was expecting it to happen. All the best to him, but hopefully this was his peak year and we dodged a bullet and get maximum value while his stocks are hot.

 

[FallingLiefs]

Won’t feel bad towards him. Got an offer he can’t refuse by sounds of it. If we can’t match the reasonable offer, We stuffed it ourselves with overspending in years past and even now chasing a free agent block of wood as a ruck. If they’re paying too much then still can’t blame him for going for significant overs.

First time I can remember we have sold someone high, if we do get that first rounder

 

[ClickBOOM1870]

I fully understand not matching Norths offer but given that he’s likely to be in our top 3 best and fairest this season surely we could justify 600k per season over 4 years.
