Polak as a KPD: Needs more development

[Big Punt]

I know this has been said before........but Polak's lack of nouse and ability in a one on one contested mark situation was really showed up in the Port game.

He has got great hands and looks great when he floats in to take a contested mark. But when he is in a body on body tussle, waiting for the ball to float in, looks like a fish out of water and gets beaten almost every time.

Appears to me that he probably has never received any instruction in the caper. Need to call in someone like A.Lynch, B.Taylor or similar for some lessons.

A bit more muscle would also help.

Why do you think they play him loose he does'nt know how to go man on man.

Polak as a KPD needs another SOLID KPD to assist him. Hopefully Thursty will pile on the muscle during the pre-season, or option B is grooming Schulz for a Key defensive role. It is imperative that we have at least two big men down back against the Bombers, Eagles, Cats, Pies, Hawks and Saints (who have the luxury of fielding at least 2 BIG forwards each week). Currently Schulz has approximately 2-3cm and 12kgs on Thursfield.
