News Jared Polec signs for Hoppers Crossing

[PepeSilvia]

Well no, 25 year old gun key forwards are in a different category altogether.

There's probably only 5 of them in the competition, whereas there'd be at least 25 blokes that could play a similar role to Polec.

Lol.

Just read we are offering him 5 years now. He'll stay I reckon as length was originally the concern.

Melbourne real estate/cost of living makes the extra mill less enticing

Yeah I’d prefer you’d took your money and waved it at Gaff. If I was his manager I’d already have called you and floated the idea of “a better Polec than Polec for just a smidge more $”. Hopefully you haven’t already blown your wad of promises...

Smidge more?

The press seems to think gaff is going for $1m to $1.2m

Even if that’s an exaggeration $900k+ is still heaps more.

 

[philthy05]

We’re all here still waiting for Snake_Baker to give his list of 25 similar players to Polec

 

[bomberclifford]

Polec can go. It’s not like we need him to plod around the middle of the table.

If true, I'd be against giving him 5 years. Why not just bump up the offer by 100k and if that doesn't work he can go.

If that happens he should stay.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Snake_Baker just waiting for your list of 24 other players who can play a similar role to Polec and close to the same standard. Cheers mate, really looking forward to hearing from you.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

What makes you think we aren't going after both of them (I can tell you for a fact that we are)?


We have more money than we had last year when Martin & Kelly were going to cost significantly more.

Lots of "facts" for someone with NFI

Your mods wouldn't be too happy with me if I derailed the thread by taking it down that path.

I'm happy with my ballpark figure, and if RossFC's mail is good, this discussion should be effectively over anyway.

Weak. You made the claim that there are 25 players who can play Polec's role at a similar standard. Now back it up with a list.

I'll discuss it here, but not in this thread.

Your call.

I'm not falling into the trap of copping a ban for rubbishing your currently non existent list on your board.

You can send it to me in a PM if you like.

I wouldn’t consider the list off topic. Quite on topic. Make the claim, back it up.

 

[philthy05]

Lol

I’ve never seen a worse attempt at backing out of a statement ever

How hard would it be to write a list that you’ve claimed exists?

 

[Macca19]

I’d say 25 guys playing a similar role to Polec isnt that odd a statement

 

[snozulu]

the list is here.

I assume he meant to a similar standard as Polec, given that he was talking about Brown as one of five gun key forwards who is 25 (or under too, I guess) in the league.

 

[philthy05]

Because if he gets to x amount and then has to start naming guys of questionable quality in relation to Polec it will prove our points and hurt his.

That’s in all likelihood why he has bailed.

I don’t think that was Ross’s mail so much as some random social media page?

 

[Visenfest]

He also said to a similar standard.

Yet you expect me to run the gauntlet? I'm not here to facilitate your outrage. This is a discussion over a trade regarding two clubs.

A moderator has already stated they consider a list on topic. Now pony up.

 

[OneGreatClub]

As I said just above. Port has been asked to pay a first and second rounder for first 22 players. Teams have set the price, they shouldn’t baulk because it’s their turn to pay.

This, a thousand times

Where did you read that?
