Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Look he is an ok player, and he has qualities we sorely lack.
But that salary is huge. Like Hanners though the big issue is what is the trade cost if it goes ahead

Clubs have already met twice en-masse and you can be sure there have been plenty of one on ones and phone calls besides.
Saints would be silly to offer the money unless they believe they have a a do-able trade.
So the big question is what is it.
Especially as there seems to be an undertaking to trade for Hanners already.

Good call.
Prefer Polec to some of the other touted options.
Nee!

I hope we don't use his design for our away jumper.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Polec has to be a trade
Gaff is a free agent, shouldn't the $$ be put to him rather than Polec ?
And Gaff > Polec

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Let’s be bold, we need some run polec, pittard and their first for our 4th I’ll take that. Trade newnes and dunstan for 2nd rounders take pick 10. 2 2nd rounders to the draft. Hell even look at hombsch surely he’s better than brown down back......
Be the best you can ... If not have fun trying....

Where/who is your source that it’s ‘apparently real’? And, We have trumphed Nth ?parkeysainter wrote: ↑Mon 03 Sep 2018 9:48pmApparantly its real. We have trumped Nth.
I think you may have been watching ‘On the Couch’ on Fox tonight, where this rumour was discussed quite a bit, infact you’ve used exactly the same words used by Lyon et al.
parkeysainter, IMO you would gain more respect on this site if you just acknowledge where you are grabbing (stealing) your rumours from. Eg. I just heard on ‘On on the Couch’, or on SEN or from Big Footy, or from South Australian radio report to qualify your statements. Most posters do this, why don’t you? Or are you such an excitable little man, you need to be first with the news of what you’ve seen/read/read you hit the keyboard before you have engaged your brain and genuinely forget to acknowledge the source? I hope it’s the latter.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
My immediate question is how much money do we have to burn?
If we can throw this at Polec... maybe we have a bigger cap than I thought.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
I just post stuff sometimes without sources like everyone else. Not everything I post is a rumour or whisper that I've heard. Jesus.
I get a bit of info on Saints stuff mainly.
I actually heard the Polec offer by chance on SEN. Pretty common knowledge anyway.
Lycett has chosen PA, hence our increase in Polec.
There is another big one to come in the next few weeks no one is talking about yet.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
That salary is embarrassing.
This club is acting like a 14 year old at a disco.
Is pick 4 being discussed as well ??
Wouldn’t surprise me.

It might be connected to Lade coming to the club.
A little OTT @ 800k for mine, it wouldn’t be a bad centreline if we could get Gaff or Scully as well.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Nope. You post stuff most of the time as though it’s fact without acknowledging a source. You’ve done it again in the last sentence of the post quoted above. A ‘whisper’ as though you’re privy to secret info. When you’re called on it, you deflect, backtrack, minimise your claimed acces to ‘special’ info. Then you post another ‘morsel’ of secret info. Exactly as you’ve done above. You say you get stuff mostly about the Saints, but a couple of days ago you posted about players from four or five clubs as though you had inside info and it was fact without any acknowledgement of source. Whatever your intention, you come across as a wannabe ITK, and if Loris is picking you up on it you can be sure it’s a widely held view on the forum. Give a sh*t or not, up to you, but you’re going to keep on copping it if you keep on keeping on, and deservedly so.parkeysainter wrote: ↑Mon 03 Sep 2018 11:39pmI just post stuff sometimes without sources like everyone else.

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.

Re: Breaking: Polec offered 800k at 5 years
Please no! Paying double the value for a winger. If they threw in Wines, I'd say good deal. Save the $$$, load up some current contracts.
We can do better with pick 4, develop Clark, Coffield, Paton, Langlands. Give Gresham, Acres and Billings more responsibility in the centre...have them take ownership.
Save the $$$ from Polec & Hannerbury for Kelly, offer him 1.2mill to 1.5mill a year for 10 years. Just get a ruckman to protect him.
Of course, keep everyone happy (players & supporters) and make Richo (director of coaches), Ratten the main coach and let Richo walk (ala Malthouse).
