I just hope this isn’t Voss blatantly favouring bigger bodied midfielders, because when Ryder goes down these guys just aren’t going to cut it IMO.

I don’t think Polec should stay to rot on a wing, and I don’t necessarily think he is worth keeping as an elite midfielder given we are getting overstocked for inside mids. And he is the only fast elite kicking one - he is top 2 mids.

I sure as shit don’t think we should be giving him up for pick 11 though. Absolutely not - worth so much more to us than that

Players that are paid large contracts are almost always traded for a 1st and 2nd rounder. Top tier players are traded for 2 first rounders.

Anything less than that, I’m happy for Polec to end up at Carlton for free. At least Port has form here.
 
The problem with Polec is his rating amongst the AFL fraternity doesn't match his ability. Polec is one of the best wingmen in the whole league and if we lose him it'll be a MASSIVE set back for us, but outsiders just haven't realised he is that good yet.

This is gonna be some Josh Kennedy to Sydney shit.

Hopefully our game plan gets the same success Hawthorn’s did.
 
We are probably close to the worst kicking team in the comp and he is our best user by foot potentially outside of Watts who doesn’t get anywhere near the ball that Polec does.

He along with Ryder and Jonas are the 3 guys who I think we really CANT afford to lose. They may not be our best 3 but they each provide a unique role that is elite in the comp and that we have no one close to matching on our entire list.
 
end of the day if he wants to go for the money you cant blame him. you do the best deal you can and move on

I've changed my mind lads.

Polec for our first rounder and a swap of 2nds


That's embarrassing.

Thanks :'(

What if saints offer their first as part of some deal, which is a lot higher than what north have and they're also very keen. This isn't a one horse race. Polly wont get past Carlton in the draft and you need to beat what ever the saints will offer.

This has ruined my night dude... the guy is not even 26 and we are handing over all of his best years to a shitty Victorian club after giving up so much to get him here.

It's a price we've decided to pay, but this is going to hurt so much 6 years from now and it better be ****ing worth it.

These guys are B graders though.

And Atley I wouldn’t describe as pacey at all. Maybe his first 2 steps.

Gaping hole if Polec leaves unfortunately

Then offer up our first and norfs first to GC for pick 3. Get rankin and use the Polly money for lycett. That makes us a better team round 1 next year.

Polec is about our best ball user and transition player. Should be on the same money as Boak and Ollie, but people don't generally value outside players as high. Just has these great skills in working through packs and provides class to finish of plays. Pity his GF has the melbourne connection as this would be a significant factor

Well which young wag wouldn’t love a multi mill dollar mansion in Melbourne with her footy partner, near family and friends. I feel a bit sad about it all it I guess you can’t really blame Polly. We just have to trust that the club knows what it is doing and we don’t get unders for him.

Yep. Will/should resemble what we paid for Charlie.
 
Polec is a good player but he's not irreplaceable. The $500,000 pa over 3 years the club is reportedly offering is about right, If he takes the money and length North are offering the sky won't fall in. I do know the club has been trying to find a way to go as hard at this draft as possible, we may have just found a way.

I don't want to lose him, but it's hardly the end of the world if he goes, as some of you think.

Trade him to the saints (maybe with a pick if absolutely necessary) for pick 5 that offer up our first and another second or another top 10 pick and hope we have enough money left over to go after Gaff as a free agent.
