And Tredrea is absolutely correct...ST KILDA is understood to have upped the ante in its pursuit of out-of-contract Port Adelaide wingman Jared Polec, with reports it has blown North Melbourne’s “godfather’’ offer out of the water.
With the Power saying it can’t match North Melbourne's “ridiculously good money’’ offer of $3.5 million over five years, it has been reported by Channel 9 that the Saints have offered Polec an extra $500,000.
After appearing to have lost out to Port in its bid for West Coast ruckman Scott Lycett, St Kilda’s offer for Polec is said to be $4 million over five years.
With such massive contracts on the table, the Power has all but conceded it cannot afford to keep the 25-year-old Polec, who is coming off his best season.
“Let’s face it, there is no way they are going to match it because that’s Robbie Gray (type) money,’’ he said.
“You are not going to pay Polec what you are paying your best player.’’

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
That’s disgusting. That’s the type of contract that hold you back 3 years down the track when you want to actually get a player that’s WORTH that sort of money but you can’t because of the salary cap.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Gee and what happens when he doesn't play any better than a $400k player, I'm guessing massive resentment amoungst the players and destabilisation. Head coach is the least of our problems, recruiting is the biggest problem.

what they deserve, so we'll have to let them go, then we'll only be able to afford some fringe players.
Like under Lyon when a handful of guys were collectively getting half the salary cap.

Well said. Ridiculous if true from a club that is cash strapped and has already dug themselves in a hole thanks to Richardson's illogical contract extension.The_President wrote: ↑Mon 03 Sep 2018 9:06pm That’s disgusting.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
a potential Brownlow medallist would be worth that much, but hell, not Polec,DJ Higgins wrote: ↑Mon 03 Sep 2018 9:13pm What a stupid waste of money. Not saying he isn't good but not $4 Million good
and do we think our current game plan can help get him to A-Grade?
The new coaching structure is a big unknown
(we don't know what strict rules/parameters they have to work with)
Getting Polec would be like F1 team Force India signing Daniel Ricciardo.
Delusion rules at RSEA.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
We don’t know the detail
We could easily front load it given we have been under the cap for two years. Does not need to impact any re signings what so ever

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
We need to pay a % of the salary cap and right now we must be so far under we might as well pay the money to Polec. Front end the contract and won’t impact in future years.
The fact is we can’t attract players so need to do something. Prefer to front end Polec’s contract than reward current blokes on the list.

Not a FA is he?
I'm not worried about the money - we need to pay cos we are s***. It's the trade cost that worries me...

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Lethlean clearly sitting back thinking that he has to land someone or his arse will be on the line.
Remember too that he is not a FA, so has to be traded for.
Evidently quality and bang for buck/trade worth not an issue.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
I'm not sure what you think the club should do? Who the hell are we going to spend the cap on? We haven't got any of the targets we have been after for the past few years, so we are absolutely desperate. If a player will improve the team and isn't too old, I'm all for throwing money at them.
We are not going to get Sheil, Kelly, Gaff or anyone of that quality.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Agreed...its alot of money and we don't know the full details yet, but its the modern world of AFL. Wages for players are rising.saint-stu wrote: ↑Mon 03 Sep 2018 9:41pm I'm not sure what you think the club should do? Who the hell are we going to spend the cap on?

This sort of the stuff is normal in the NFL, NBA and EPL for example. We just have to get used to AFL heading that way. $'s talk.
