If anyone other than Polly had a game and got 6 possessions would we be saying what a great game he had, how his attack on the ball wash great and he should stay on next year?
Don't get me wrong, I am extremely pleased for Polly that he was able to fight back from injury to make his AFL return but comparing his performance to the rest of the team he was our worst player.
When it comes to deciding on a players future you can not be sentimental nor emotive in any way. You need to base your decisions on facts and performance and unless he has a great week on the field next week we can not allow media 'romance' or supporter 'fairy-tales' to cloud our judgment.
We always say it on here - club is bigger than the individual.
Sorry to seem harsh
Stripes
Sorry Stripes, I have to absolutly disagree,
Firstly regardless of where he has come from he's prone to be scrutinized and analyzed since he put his hand up for selection so as harsh as it may seem all criticism is fair game.
Secondly he certainly wasn't our worst player, I don't think McMahon or Simmonds would be happy with there games.
Thirdly, he was serviceable with a few cameos something that you can associate with first gamers, under 20's, returners from injury etc. which is the category he is in.
The attack on the ball and Luke Hodge putting his head first, winning a battle of strength at the bttom of teh pack and to dispose out to a Richmond player is the only thing I needed to see to be happy to see him signed on next year. He's improving and on the way up, without looking at the list Bowden, Johnson, Simmonds, Brown, JON, McMahon and Raines all look to be delisted or traded.
Polak is ahead of Hughes and Putt.
Well done Graham hope to see you again next year.
