Title: Yeah or Neah: Dean Polo
Post by: one-eyed on September 12, 2008, 04:03:03 AM
Next Tiger out of contract is Polo.

After the leopard hair episode of 2007 and recovering from his shoulder problems and post-season surgery, Deano  returned to the seniors this year for a one off game in round 2 against North. He was sent back to the VFL and stayed there until a recall in round 13 in our win against Port at Footy Park. He kept his place in the side until he was surprisingly dropped after the round 16 Essendon game. Returned again against Hawthorn as a late change for the injured Foley before being dropped again when Foley came back into the team the following week.

Is Deano a keeper or do we look to trade him?

I like him but we should shop him to see if we have any bites.

What did we pay pick 20? I think he has to get us a pick around this for him to go.

Genuine AFL footballer, does Wallace like him though?

Keep for me

I'd certainly shop him around, I know he struggled to come back from his shoulder op, but he wasn't great this year. Few have overrated his perfomances I think. Not worth delisting if we can't get a good deal for him though.

Shop him around but I dont think we'll get value and ultimately keep him.

Oh, and only trade for picks or a player under 21 if we do trade him.

Keep him. Thought he ws okay this season. Was abit unlucky to be dropped a few times especially in round 22 to give Tivs a farewell game. Is hard at the footy just needs to polish up his foot skills. Knows where the footy is. :thumbsup

Keep for me

But he is one on our list that has some decent value

Personally I can think of a few before him that I'd look at trading  ;D

So as I said I'd keep...
