Along with Gaff Polec is in the top 2 wingman in the comp, and he wins his own footy (3 for contested possessions at port) Polec is a player whos position we have no depth in.

Polec is not a player we should let walk if we are serious about doing anything in the next 5 years.

Perhaps we are planning on tanking.

Do you really want a captain that isn’t capable yet of standing up in big games?

No, but realistically who do we have at this point? If we kick Boak, Ollie is at a good age to stay and is probably the best candidate for captaincy.

I agree.

The qualifier is the list must contain players that can play Polec’s role - i.e. to a similar standard as Polec. I’m curious to see the list of players who could be earning the big bucks at North.

Example, would North offer a similar contract to Hall as they’ve offered Polec?

Adelaide: (Atkins/Milera/Seedsman not as good)
Brisbane: Zorko
Carlton:
Collingwood: (Varcoe/Crisp not as good)
Essendon: Zaharakis
Fremantle: (Hill/Hill not as good)
Geelong: Duncan
GWS: Scully, Whitfield
GCS: (Hall not as good)
Hawthorn: Smith
Melbourne: (Neale-Bullen not as good)
North:
Port: (Motlop not as good)
Richmond: Short
St Kilda:
Sydney: (Z Jones/Florent not as good)
Bulldogs: (Dahlhaus not as good)
Eagles: Gaff

I have 8 that are as good or better, about 10 who aren't as good, and three teamswith no-one.

Coincidentally, the three teams with no-one are North, Saints and Carlton.

I wouldn't say Polec is the second best wingman in the comp. I would rate Isaac Smith, Scully, Brad Hill, Kelly above him just to name a few. As a few other have mentioned I would like to give Bonner a go on the wing.

Well Bonner isn't a defenders arseh*le and as well as being fairy floss soft we have to try something with him.

Seedsman is better. Was leading the league for metres gained not long ago.

Look. Throw all the cash you want at Polec if you think hes worth it but he had 7 possessions in the second half last night. SEVEN. 5 in the third quarter and 2 in the last.

Hes as much a part of the problem as anyone else. Tired of players going missing when the game is there to be won. And this guy is trying to negotiate big money. Laughable.

Brad hill is well behind Polec. Finds less ball, not as good a kick, more outside.

I would say that gaff Smith and Whitfield are the only better wingmen. Kelly yes if you consider him an outside mid. It starts to get dicey after that to really declare anyone better than Polec.

You’re not serious ?? One of our best for a bloke who can’t get a game at North ? No thanks.

My god that was sarcasm the straight swap, we need a ready to go ruck next season he is 206 cm averaging 45 hit outs a game. You get the pick you want for Polec if it’s their first rounder and we send them a third rounder or something for Preuss. Or we stick our head in the sand over our consistent ruck issues ant the fact Paddy is breaking down regularly.

Take the money and run to the hills Jared. We can't win with you in the side so we may as well find someone who can make a difference.

Love what you bring and maybe at North you will make a difference.

Looks like we will have back to back first round picks in this draft.

If he's worried about winning he's not going to go to ****ing North Melbourne. This is a business decision, nothing more.
