Clearly on todays performance Polak is too slow both in line and laterally to play at CHB in fact it could be argued also that he is not smart enough. He continually plays from behind, doesn't read the play intelligently enough and is too easily wrong footed by his opponent.
 
Because the guy wants to play Centre Half Forward and thinks by not putting in any effort at Centre half back will convince the coachs to switch him isnt going to help him that is for sure.
There is serious committment problems with this guy that must be fixed and soon.
 
He'd never run enough to play CHF. He doesn't have the stamina or the skill at ground level to play there.

Personally I'd like to see Parker get 1/4 at FF or in a pocket, just for laughs. He's not such a bad kick at goal! We could squeeze a couple more years out of him yet! His body is looking the goods! There's no reason why he wouldn't play on you'd think?

What an absolute crock Sabre.Have you seen the guy play at CHF since we have picked him up.I have seen him play CHF in several early games and if he wants to play there then he certainly has not gone about it in the right way.There is no way he want to play CHF.My concern is if he wants to play anywhere at all for the Fremantle Football Club.If he doesn't shunt him along the track of others who have treated the club with disdain.
 
Waste of a draft pick it would seem. The only consistent thing Polak is doing at the moment is putting no effort in.

If someone could get him to play slightly enthusiastically, he could play a Chad Cornes role, where he drifts around the half back line.
 
FFS, for about the first time in his career he DIDN'Tplay chb but full back!
Can you recall anyone dropping back into the space in front of Thompson ... like he normally does?

Perhaps he is a full forward then, one look at sunday against the roos and it seems his biggest problem is a lack of interest.
Marking skills and even on the ground he is solid, and I dont for a second believe he is slow.

Like Clement? or Mcphee? or Croad? or Sinclair? or White? or Brown?

I don't think Polak would mind that sort of success

Yep exactly like them.They all had their chance to play for the Fremantle Football Club,and the emphasis is on PLAY,but gave nothing.If they don't want to be here move them on.
Oh and White went home to Mummy.We were never ever going to be able to keep him.When Diamond Joe offered him big bucks to go home he was gone before the cheque was even banked.
You can even add Brown and Bandy to the list.Name all that have left and you will find that the FFC gave them a very good run at being AFL footballers and they blew it.Just ask Heath Black.He said on return that he wasted four years of his AFL career while he was here first off.

yes, the club gives them the opportunity, yet they look disinterested, struggle at afl level and then succeed elsewhere. One must then ask, WHY are there so many players that struggle at freo, (not coz of lack of talent, but mindset) that suddenly become focussed and excellent players at another club?

And then, when a star player comes from another side, he becomes merely average at Fremantle. As i said in the other thread, you cannot blame the coach.

or Wills? or Hunter? or Bradley? or Abraham? or Koops? or Clive? I'm sure he'd love their success you brainless Feral.

Clive? he never went to another club? Kingsley Hunter never became a star, but was a decent player for the bulldogs for a number of years. But i admit, he didn't really improve from his days at fremantle. Was decent then, was decent at the bulldogs.

Winnie Abraham and Steven Koops both had potential, more so than most.. But were both struck by terrible injuries. These cannot be used as examples, as it can happen to anyone.

Andrew Wills, is going back a number of years, but i remmeber him doing alright at saint kilda i think it was? i can't quiet remember. Nothing specal again

But the problem is, for every dud you pass off, ur passing off an excellent player at the same time.
 
You traded Brown you peanuts. He gave frickin everything for your footy club and you traded him. Fair enough, but you would kill for someone of his character right now.
