Polo never should get dropped

Very unlucky to get dropped the other week and very unlucky to not have played more games. He's gonna be a gun :thumbsu:


you damn right he shouldnt be dropped boy...he doesnt look like a RR coz all his possies are hard earned, what i like is he waers the hits and still manages to unload the pill , alot to like about the way he goes about it
 
Your're right MT. The more games he can string together the better he will be. There's no point bringing him in for a week or 2 then sending him back to Coburg for another 3.

I agree, I love his competivness.
He can play in the mid or half back, he reads the play really well from defence a couple nice interceptions.
 
Dean is going to be a good, consistent midfielder, but he had 0 tackles against Hawthorn.

That means his spot is up for grabs this week, and it's his own fault this time, not Terry's.

Chance Bateman is hawthorns best runner and link up player, has had a massive season,

Polo did a job on him won the hardball when it needed to be won, linked up well on the rebound and intercepted and gave a GA to lids when the game was on the line.

His spot is not up for grabs. ridiculous thing to say just bc he didnt have any tackles.
 
Good to see that perhaps he has taken an opportunity to put in a good performance after being dropped , isnt a bad thing being dropped sometimes more important is the way he goes about getting his spot back , agree it is disappointing some players get dropped before others though.

bang on the money....didnt in my eyes do anything to be dropped in the first place:confused:
we seem to have that little bit of toughness in the team when kids like polo and connors play. Polo is just tough they way he takes hits and stuff. And Connors is just insane the way he doesn't cop shit from anyone and gladly gets into scraps.

Gold stars for both:thumbsu:

Dean 'the shirt' Polo is a strong buggar even though he's about 83kg. He's like Arnies enemy on Terminator 2 who's after Daniel 'Sarah' Connor(s) :cool:
 
He will probvably get dropped this week for brown.


Even bigger chance if Foley recovers from his bruised ribs.

Brown has what sounds like a stress injury in his leg....he won't be required for the rest of the season and so will be put on ice. Foley could also get a week off as well just to be sure.

"Bruised ribs"? Just like Browny's "sore hip" and "virus"?

Foley has OP.

Brown has stress fractures in his good leg.

I hope we don't rush them back like we have a history of doing lately. We've got the depth to let them rest, so we might as well use it ;)

i thought polo played a top tagging game.
After the Essendon game he looked tired, but against the hawks he was very good.

Sorry, Foley has bruised ribs...told me himself!!
 
Lot's of talk on these boards about the merits of athletes versus footballers & most agree that we need to recruit more pure footballers and less athletes...

Well Dean Polo is a footballer.

OK, so he isn't lightning quick but he is not slow either & his football brain compensates anyway.
He has to work on his overall fitness and I would expect after a big summer, he will be a lock in our best 22.

Great hands, can take punishment and still dish off, is competitive and has a bit of mongrel.

IMO, Kane your replacement is ready...
