Missed 16 games due to persistent hamstring injuries in 2021. 

5 games, one of which was as a medical sub. 

Now delisted from a side which finished bottom of the ladder.....after being moved on from Port as well....and people entertain the idea of bringing him to Melbourne?

Perhaps he might be a better player within a club where he's at absolute best out 22nd best player (at absolute best). Would get far more attention by opposition at kangas. I still say no to taking him as I think he's a dud but in a top 2 team, it's not impossible that he could provide something

    What a mess Norf have to clean up, 700k a year for another 2 years in the cap, money to burn in there cap.

    Unbelievable recruitment strategies by the Woos.

    Jared Polec is a great idea. Why not. While we’re at it we should ask Jonathan Patton if he’s interested in resuming his footy career with us as well.

    Apparently Tom Scully wants to make a romantic return to Melbourne were it all began for him - it helps that international flights to China are banned. Plus the small detail of finding his dad a spot paid for in the cap

    Yes one Clubs  poison can be another Clubs treasure.

    And the last poison turned out to be a real treasure on GF day and previously where he majorly helped right our forward  line connectivity and balance which propelled our attack to un heard of  versatility and ability.

    When in doubt kick the ball high to Benny was used at least a half a dozen times especially in the Granny with great effect. Bens long straight arms were never quelled on the bug GF stage and gave out attack a sense of surety not seen before. This on half a season also!!

    Of course Polec is a different cat but he is a ferocious finisher with the ball and has genuine pace to burn. Any position on HB wing or HF he would need minding and be a real menace albeit depth fir our 2022 campaign.

    Rosman and Baker would be challenged as well as our culture but I think we are big boys now and can handle with our coaches precocious talent for the  team mantra thing Jared has never quite bought into yet on his AFL journey.

    Martin Pike says hi from the Brisbane Lions !!!

    No doubt he is a better player than Baker, but we don't need flaky, 29-year-old, injury prone guys even if Norf was going to pay most of his wage!

    Why on earth would we want a 29 year old?  We are not coming up to a premiership window, we have smashed the door down and grabbed the cup.

    Our goal to goal line is starting to look old.

    Lets pick someone with youth and exuberance, which is what won us the cup.

    St Kilda perhaps...

    Have a feeling Polec only runs one way.

    Didn't fit the MFC ethic.

    Unless it's for a specific role like Ben Brown, I think we are well past needing to acquire players like Polec.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
