Dean polo's handpassing

Armoooo · Post: # 1109386Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Jul 2011 1:28am

Haven't seen tonight's game yet but I have noticed through the year that he seems to be very good at chucking a hand out to intercept other's handballs, everyone pulls them off once in a while but Polo has done it more in one season than I have seen most players in a career.

so him an gamble are worth late pics. good on him.

i'm a big fan, kept blurting his name last night
POLO this and POLO that - his dexterity reminds me of Lenny
had the most contested possessions last night

Polo has earned his position each week and has been getting better each week, as he setles in. He's not a star, but an important "good ordinary footballer," as they say.

Being new to the Saints, Posters want instant success. I think that a lot of credit for the improvement in Polo, Gamble, Clarke, Jones, Peake, needs to go to Ross and the assistant coaches

Polo looks like he's busting his guts to impress and cement a spot in the side... he seems to have a real appetite for it at the moment... I love that... shows he cares about his footy.

A bit of Rob Harvey about some of those handballs.

He reminds me of Stephen Powell, not blessed with pace or skill but provides grunt. Good balance for the team.

Not a bad comparison.

I'd be quite happy if Polo could contribute as much as Powell did.

Tiges could use his grunt in the middle

Hope he adds as much to the classic lines of AFL sledging as Powell. I still smile at his eloquence when addressing Cameron ling. -Yes he indeed got what he deserved.

One of the greatest sledges of all time

Out of interest...find the footage of the Saints game a few weeks back VS Port when Riewoldt got a free-kick before the bounce. Listen to what Joey says

His performance on Friday night was a good four-quarter effort I thought. I was talking to Dad at the ground about it through the game, I don't think we really expected to be having that kind of conversation when we picked him up at last year's draft.

I really like his work with his hands. His setting up of Milne through traffic early set the tone for his night.

For anyone interested, we've just put up a piece about Polo at Red, White and Black: http://www.redwhiteandblack.com.au/2011 ... nd-chance/

Not another poor disposer of the ball. Leave him for GWS.

At least Tuck can score a heavily inflated contract and good on him. he is not that bad.
