He's a cross between Pendlebury on a good day and Frost on a bad day for me. I'd have him, but not for the price tag going around. Can be very damaging and a handy goal kicker

 

Absolutely no need for Polec. We have multi tasker Fritta.

$750k per year for this bloke, north Melbourne you can just smell the desperation 

And they will announce it like he is the greatest player ever.

Take these stories with a grain of salt, but that is absurd money being offered if true. I rate Polec as a player, but only Nth Melbourne values him that highly.

Dip I toe in the water with a feasible offer, then the moment North trump us run off.

 

Unhappy North. Build a 'war chest' and then the only 'war' they get invited to is just for a quality, but definitely not star, player. And paying him excessively will add inflation pressure to the salary expectations of everyone else on the team or potentially coming in future.

Grabbing Polec with an over-market bid after making multiple highly publicised bids for genuine 'big fish' is almost emblematic of North's overall situation. Not quite failing, but you'd hardly call it triumphant.

When the Saints go marching in.

$800,000 a year for 5 years reportedly and apparently that kind of money is in the top 3% to 4% in the league. Is this a ploy to price Norf out of Gaff?

This is entering la la land.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
