I would, but, he left Bris to go home to SA. If he goes anywhere it'd be Adelaide. But, a gun when he's on.

    Correct SFebey. He’s from SA, and left Brisbane to go back home. He won’t be leaving and this is just his manager pressuring Port to improve/push through a new contract.

    Hes the type of player we need to target though. Good quick runner who can impact games and compliment our inside brigade.

    Probably just his manager putting a bit of pressure on Port to put a deal (or improve a deal) on the table, but hope we'd make an enquiry.

    Could definitely use his run and kicking skills.

    Unlikely he will leave SA, but if he did I would hope we were into him. Polec is AA material this year. He'd need to put in a solid back half of the year but he is massively underrated and has been great this year. When he is on he is up there with Wingard and Gray as Port's most important player. Consistency is there for Polec as well. Be a great get.

    unlike gaff, is not a free agent, wherein lies the rub

    we only have to give up salary cap to secure gaff; getting polec in would cost value in a trade

    class player...but gaff is better inside AND outside

    Polec would be good. He has a bit of a rude head, a bit like Melksham, and you need a couple of these types running around to inject some heat and spite into the match.

    The go home was just an excuse to leave Brisbane, surely.

    I have to admit I struggle a bit with the number of grown men who seem unable to survive living a 2 hour plane flight away from their home city.

    Agree. That's what I keep telling my wife when I recommend moving further away from the in-laws too!

    Agree with this, although it must be said an 18-22 year olds are far from grown men. They are glorified teenagers who can legally buy beer.

    Nope! I don’t think we need him...

    We already have players on the list pushing for games and Gaff is coming!

    Let the saints or roos cough up a million for him. 

    Handy player but not for the money his agent can command with a desperate club like the saints.

    Apparently the offer put forward by the Roos is simply too good to refuse.

    There was a 20 page Hamish Hartlett thread while back, at the time he was the only gettable Port player worth chasing. Polec is a bit of an injury prone downgrade ain't he?

    If Fev could actually see his doodle, the Roos would probably throw six figures at him. They are that desperate, they might leave a bunny in a pot of boiling water on Jared Polec's stove should he knock them back.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
