Most people would have him earmarked for CHB, what are the chances that he plays forward and Shulz goes down back instead?

Could have schulz and polak interchanging to keep the comp on their toes. Having 2 versitile big men could prove very handy!

Polak will be used where needed, when we play the taller forward lines (eg. Saints) he will be used in defence.
What about as a loose defender so he can float across packs and take the contested marks?

You'd reckon either B1 or B2 would play that role now. Polak with his size goes straight to CHB or else why lose a pick 8 for someone that plays loose man in defence.

Has to be CHB.
Schulz in the forward pocket, with Hughes developing at CHF.

lol call a spade a spade hey Wall? 
Definitely CHB written all over him, the type of CHB that can command the area (if he works his backside off to get there). He'll back his judgement and go for the grabs. Really needs a big summer.

Has to be CHB. His form dropped when Connolly butchered him by trying to play him forward- about the same time he decided Simmonds was a key forward. I am excited by the parrallels here. Connolly is a joke and Polak's name will be added to Simmonds, Croad, McPhee and co in the case for the prosecution.
he and the club have said he will play chb, expect him to be put there and left there so he can really gain some confidence in his abilities.

He will be in the backline. However in the forward line here or there during the season. Bring on the blue boys

I really wish Freo had of done this with Polly! He'll handle CHB perfectly and is a fantastic pick-up for the Tiges! My step-dad is a life long Richmond supporter and I'll be moving there next year so I expect to see a lot of the Tiger's games and will probably get to see the best of Polak in the yellow & black!
Best wishes and goodluck with your new club Polly!

Good sensible post stylor!
I think he'll be good too. Seemed from the outside to be one of those guys that was never able to settle in to one position and make it his own. I think we've seen two examples of high picks that have turned themselves around quickly when given an opportunity to develop in one position this year. Namely, Brendan Goddard and Andrew Walker. I think sometimes high picks are victims of the fact that they're obviously capable and have ability. Sometimes they're used to "plug holes" for the team, rather than gicen a chance to develop.
