Jared Polec

[Zakk Wylde]

We could be in play for Rankine.

He's doing his best work, making it clear he wants to remain in SA.

I don't think we have the list to throw all eggs in one basket.

Let go of Motlop and Watts to free up some salary cap

We will get their first rounder what do you actually think he's worth? he's not Gary Dustinfield

North's first rounder is barely par. Draft picks are over rated.

Certainly the best non Brisbane/Gold Coast pick. There's plenty of outstanding talent that doesn't carry a risk. Saints pick if not Brisbane?
Saints look at 9-10 and a 2nd rounder they would find it hard to look away. Worse that would happen would be we end up with a King brother.

If we're really letting him go over length of contract only, I'm extremely disappointed. I'd offer him 5 in a heart beat. However at the same time, I guess we have to trust that someone in the club/The medicos must know something we don't.

It's a good draft if we stuff it up we may as well appoint Scooby Doo as list manager

Harley Bennell is going to get a new contract at Freo despite playing 2 games in 3 seasons.
What sort of contract is Brad Crouch on? Jaeger O'Meara? Dayne Beams? Jack Viney? Rory Sloane?
Port are taking the p!ss if contract length is an issue for Polec.

 

[ploppy]

It’s hardly going to break us to give him an extra year. If he is good for 4 and we carry him in the last year so what we do it all the time.

Just back Trengove in his position next year

Well a slower version of Polec....

As much as Polec does he's as good as burning the ball as anyone in this team. Maybe if we want to play 'careful' and 'safe' coming out the backline we need to draft players with skill like the Hawks have a good habit of doing, Trengove definitely ticks the boxes there, but maybe not so quick or dashing.

Pittard needs to be traded or put somewhere else, his skills are hopeless when it comes to hitting someone on the chest, maybe move him up the ground?

I hope we target and play people who can actually hit a target regularly, turning it over is something we need to get a lot better at not-doing.

Trengove as a winger will end very badly. He's a slightly better version of Toumpas and both are slow back flankers now.

Risky, but could go either way.

If it fails -
Hawthorn in: Chad Wingard
Port in: A box of Scooby snacks

If it works out -
Port : Pyke exposed as a witch with his nose giving it away and lose first round pick allowing us to nab Rankine
Crows : And we would have gotten away with it to, if it weren't for those meddling kids

Those pesky crows though...

Polec had an outstanding 2014, then the foot injury derailed everything for a while. He’s been a really inconsistent player until this year (a contract year). As talented as he is he’s as flakey as anyone on the list. Without the lure of a big payday I just don’t know if I have any confidence he’ll reproduce his best consistently.
In short, there’s no way I’d offer him 5 years. He’d get very comfortable very quickly.

Somehow I don't think Bennell, Crouch or O'Meara are on five year $700,000 contracts. Beams and Viney don't need big contacts to keep them at their current clubs. And the Crows are morons.

It’s only a couple of years since most people here wanted to storm Alberton with pitchforks after they gave Hartlett a 5 year extension. Now you’re saying “Just give Polec his 5 years and all the money he wants...”

Somewhat in agreement, but Polec has delivered more than Hartlett has.

Not sure everyone is saying it? No way can we give him 5 years, 700k. Would be bad management and not learning from prior mistakes. Hate to lose him, but as long as we do the right thing at the trade table it is not the end of the world.

Not sure I agree with that.

Tredders said ,PA confirmed Polly has accepted North's offer. Is that correct?
