Jared Polec

I've only seen him play once or twice. But he looked incredibly impressive to me -- silky skills, beautiful mover, poised, with real presence on the field.
He just hasn't been able put it all together on the field -- which is common or youngsters until they get the hang of it in their 2nd or 3rd or 4th year.
I'd love to see what he can become at St Kilda.

Look at all avenues, all players....

It would be negligent to dismiss anything or anyone without thorough analysis

Barlow, Stevens, Silvagni, Podsiadly, Monfries, CJ, Powell, Voss, Ball, Dew, Hudson, Edwards, Goddard

Acquired through State League, Rookies, Trades, Delisting, Pre Season Draft, Free Agency.....
Building a list requires smart trading.... With an open mind, but with a set of criteria

Really easy to dismiss Polec from any Victorian Club or any other state.

He has stated all year up there that he wants to go home which is South Australia.

[LTN16]

We need to be careful who we draft with our pick 3.

Would hate to see us draft a player thats from another state and invest so much in him then in 2 years time he is home sick and wants to go home to be with his mummy. Just need to be careful IMO.

Well i hope we enquire about Polec tbh... Tippett wanted to go home to Brisbane and only brisbane....

Good Point . If Pelchin / Watterman rate him highly then show some St.K. interest by all means.

Melbourne is a bit closer to Adelaide and besides the Saints may be in a better position to do a successful deal with the lions.
Watterman can be convincing .
Worth a go.

Just heard on Ch 10 (5.45) that St.Kilda offered a lucrative deal to Nathan Brown but he declined. Must reeeally love collingwood!
Certainly experienced but hadn't heard anything previous to this announcement.
Wondering on opinions of the above 3 lions.

G O S A I N T S !

I thought when the "don't recruit any recycled" brigade saw Kobe Stevens get 31 possies and kick 3 goals on us that maybe they would have admitted that checking out the players from other clubs who are not getting a run might be a good idea. we should use our top 4 pick on the best junior we can get and probably our second rounder but not if someone looks better at a more mature age.

that thought was when Lyon was picking players like polo, attard, etc

Polec can play. But there is one issues with him - he is unbelievably soft, both physically and mentally.
