Dean Polo [merged]

[mat073]

Molly Meldrum and Eric Banna are really in for a treat....now they can enjoy the "forrest gump-esque" skills of Dean Polo.

[jackstar is back again]

I've got a feeling Dean did something other than play bad football. There's always been rumours about him being out of favour for his whole career. Bad attitude?

Can't agree with the bad attitude bit.

A great kid who deserves this opportunity seeing he wasn't given one this year in particular (I think I'm supposed to insert one of these   at this point)

Good luck at the Saints Deano. I hope you kill em, but not against the Tigers.

Ditto

Hope dean does very well at the saints

Polo prepared for variety of roles

ST KILDA recruit Dean Polo says his versatility could be his biggest asset as he tries to revive his AFL career.

Polo, who was delisted by Richmond at the end of the 2010 season, was a surprise selection by the Saints in last week's NAB AFL Draft.

In fact there were audible gasps in the Gold Coast convention centre when Saints recruiting manager John Peake read the 24-year-old's name with the 103rd selection.

Polo said he feared his career may have been over when the Tigers cut him.

"You always have that in the back of your mind and it's not a very nice feeling, but I felt that I've still got so much to offer in AFL football," he said.

"I've been given that opportunity and now that I have, there is no looking back and I'm going to take a hold of it."

Polo played just four games for Richmond in 2010 but says his ability to be used in multiple roles would hold him in good stead.

"I'm injury-free at the moment," Polo said. "I had a shoulder reco a couple of years ago which made me take a step backwards.

"I think my versatility would be a good thing for the club. I can play in the midfield and down back."
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon said Polo still had a lot to offer at AFL level.

"In his [Polo's] first game he had 30 disposals and kicked three goals," Lyon said. "That doesn't disappear."

if it hasn't disappeared it at least went into hiding.

didn't Terry Wallace say something similar about Kent Kingsley kicking 8 goals when we picked him up a few years ago?
What the hell does 1 game in 6 years mean?
Someone throw a clump of straws at ross Lyon

[eliminator]

kent kingsley is one of the most offensive swear words i have ever heard. to say he was crap would be the understatement of the year.

[Coach]

Kent Kingsley kicked over 50 in a season twice. He honestly wasn't that bad

Didn't do anything while he was here but it wasn't his fault Wallet was keen on him.

[gerkin greg]

it was his fault he didn't do anything while he was here

because he was poo

who the stuff is called kent anyway?

[Coach]

it was his fault he didn't do anything while he was here

because he was poo

who the eff is called kent anyway?

didn't say it wasn't his fault cuz he was sh!te here, just that it was the Wallet he brought him here when we didnt need him.

who is called kent? my name is Kent. Kent Davey, cousin of Pete the pedo

[yellowandback]

it was his fault he didn't do anything while he was here

I always used to get the vowel in his first name mixed up.

Wallace also said the exact same thing about one Jordan McMahon when we picked him up. Said he was an outstanding junior and you never lose your ability. Yeh right

Deano wasn't anywhere near the Saints' worst last night as defensively he didn't do too bad a job especially considering how often the ball was down his end. However the reason we moved him on was plain to see - he couldn't hit a target by foot forward of the play.

His disposal to say the least was woeful, could almost see him wearing the Tigers jumper when he missed an unmarked target inside 50 from 15 metres, just not up to the skill required skills level for today's possession footy. Still makes you wonder about the Tigers past recruiting in regards to skill by foot.
