Sooo, we're getting that bag of chips then? Did we at least get a good flavour?

Light and Tangy. It's honestly all we can afford.

How many out of Beams, Sloane, and Viney are still nursing a potentially career-ending foot issue to the point they can't train two days in a row, and seem to spend a lot of time just walking laps?

Sloane and Viney actually do both have foot injuries that have caused them more trouble over the last couple of years than Polec's foot has caused him.

My feeling on this is that he's a damned good player but he is not irreplaceable. He was certainly not worth risking a five-year contract at that salary. On the other hand, he is worth that to North. That is the way it goes sometimes. We have been relatively lucky in recent years in keeping players we wanted to keep. This is the exception.

I hope Polec has a long and relatively successful year and that his foot does not suffer too much on the Dome's surface.

Really? Whocares.. he took the money.

I'm no medical expert, but I'd say a Navicular injury would rate a little higher on the career-ending scale than Linsfranc and toe issues.
 
Would laugh if his manager genuinely has been overseas and he re-signs. Vintage Trollec style.

I must admit, I've already become quite fond of the potential first round pick we'll be receiving.
 
Familiarise yourself with the thread that contains the contract position of each player on the list (it should be stickied to the first page in my opinion). You will see that Motlop and Watts are contracted for a few years yet. It won't be until the end of 2019 that some serious list management decisions can be made - Boak for one will be out of contract.

Polec is contracted? so are you suggesting you can't trade a contracted player?

You can trade a contracted or uncontracted player. Polec falls out of contract at the end of this season.

Suddenly the player's manager is unavailable. It doesn't really matter where in the world he is, he can still be contacted.

This overseas nonsense is utter bullshit and embarrassing that it's still used as an excuse.
Haven't you heard, there is no internet or phone service overseas. But fear not Port fans, we have sent a carrier pigeon which should return with news in the Fall.
 
It's a good draft if we stuff it up we may as well appoint Scooby Doo as list manager

Great drafts are littered with players no one has heard of.

An educated guess says 40-50% of top ten picks don’t reach 100 games

Probably 2 maybe 3 out of 10 top ten picks reach polecs level or higher.

Exactly. I'm all for keeping Polec. Go back a read the hype on Jack Watts in his draft year. He was a certainty to be absolute gun.
Anyway we may not have a choice.
 
I am happy to see him go and wish him well if North are willing to pay him that much. As long as we are compensated adequately I am not fussed. Would be good to get a replacement that can kick goals from both sides of their body.

Hi, I come in peace, I can tell you Preuss does want out. He isn't getting a game in front of Goldy anytime soon and Daw does ok when in the ruck.
Welcome!

I base my like for Preuss, on seeing him play approx 3 quarters of 2nds football.
If he had a good ruck coach, I think he could be a regular AFL ruckman.
He is the right age, size, seems mobile enough.
