Traded Jared Polec [traded to North Melbourne with Pittard and #48 for #11 and 2019 fourth round pick]

[Sweet Jesus]

Saints offering 800k per year over 5 years

Really?

 

[Young Gun #6]

Pick 3 for Polec, Pittard and pick 21 seems about right

 

[naturally north]

Lol What about Norf? You lot already have a a welcome Polec thread on your forum. I know you constantly miss out on getting players but that smacks of desperation. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

Drop by next week for the welcome Wingard thread.

You should start a welcome Sam Durdin thread on the Port board, just sayin.

It's largely a wind up designed to rope in people (like you good self in this instance)

There's only a small handful of people on our board that state it's a done deal, although the media noise is at the level now where most people believe a Polec to walk announcement is now imminent.

I know you constantly miss out on getting players but that smacks of desperation.

Couldn't. Care. Less.

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

If he doesn't come, he doesn't come. Life will go on. Gaff & Kelly are the aces in our trade deck.

The take home point of my post, to which you replied, is that you are getting conned in to placing the blame on North, or on Polec, or on anything but your clubs woefully inept administration. This is where your anger really should be directed.

So what's the curveball?

St kilda are making a huge bid now. I guess now they know they've missed out on Lycett who they offered $700,000 over 5 years.

Saints are offering $800,000 over 5 years. Well for those North supporters saying psd good luck to them now.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

This money is crazy.

Lemme guess? They're going to part with pick 4, right?

Crazy enough to file in the bin marked "loony".

I suppose he's off to StKilda then.

Take care Jared.

 

[Keystone agony]

pick 3 huge appeal for a Lukoscious or atleast Rankine aswell for port instead of a pick where the best 3 SA kids are gone

I highly doubt its pick 4 straight up my guess would be Polec + pick 21 and 46 for pick 4

Better let Sydney & Hannaberry know. Best of luck.

If the Saints hand over pick three they may as well lock the gates.

I sure will. Polec or a washed up Hannaberry. Hmmm wonder which one I'd rather.

Dunno, depends what channel 9 Adelaide (Tredders) makes up tomorrow.

 

[rainwizard39]

Make up? Seems legit to me. Lycett isn't going to saints and they offered up $700,000 over 5 years now he's said he isn't going there, North has also been known to want Polec now they can up their offer.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Make up? Seems legit to me.

Of course, straight from "Tredders" mouth. Has to be true.

I bet he got that info from an anonymous tip too.

Shame you couldn't understand the rest of what I said.

You know it’s a running joke on our board?

But hey - looks like we caught another.

 

[JUSTWORK]

haha no, way to much.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Understood? You're a newbie to this caper, whereas I have seen it all before.

We want Martin...........days later StKilda want Martin
We want Kelly...........days later StKilda want Kelly
We want Gaff...........days later StKilda want Gaff

We want Polec...............surprise, surprise...............days later StKilda want Polec.

It's amazing how StKilda always seem to follow on our heels. They're NEVER first in line!

You'd reckon the clubs of these players could invent themselves something original by now.

 

[Damon_3388]

Yeah I did misread your comment. Sorry. I guess it’s because the clubs’ access to external sources of income for their players is so unequal that it distorts the salary cap too much. Collingwood/Richmond etc already have a leg up in that area and it wouldn’t help the overall goal of equalisation to make it worse.

Well also what I'm saying is, why are clubs involved with player sponsorships or endorsements at all? Why can't this be arranged independently, by player, manager and outside entity (eg. Puma and Dustin Martin)?

Again to draw a comparison, LeBron James had a deal with Nike before he even played an NBA game. While a lot of that was dependent on him playing and performing in the NBA, there's no direct involvement from the league or his team. Why isn't there more of this here? What's stopping it? Just feels like so much potential money (obviously wouldn't be to the scale of someone like LeBron, but still) is being left on the table by players, managers, and brands looking for a popular "face" for their product.

 

[Unity-28]

Well, it looks like hes going to the saints. they have beaten our offer by 200k per year. if they want him that much, see ya.....
(or is it a play by them for us to up our offer to not have the money for j.kelly?)
play with fire, you might get......

200k? When did North's offer drop from 750 to 600?

 

[Elixuh]

Mfw I see St Kilda offering 800k a year over 5 years for the pea heart.

He should take it, and they should walk him straight in to the PSD.

Carlton won't cough up that coin, and the Qld clubs aren't going to want him back. StKilda will get him for free.

Dunno why the Port fans seem elated by this. It's a worse scenario than the one they have with North.

Awfully close to my reaction too.

He is good but not 800k good.
