Could Polak play Full Back

[mightytiges]

There was a rumour earlier in the season that a youngster from another club may cross over but there's been no mention of it since.

im not convinced polak would be any goiod


i want HUNTER!!!

We'd all like Hunter as he can play CHB and push forward. He is vital to the Eagles so no way he'll be going anywhere unlike Polak who is stuck in the WAFL because he can't get a game with Freo.

the youngster rumour has been around for months, but i am unsure if the new rumours are about this player or another one. Suffice to say the innitial rumour- the info was passed on to the authorities at Punt Rd lol and Id be mightily peeed off if its the same player because I was hoping we could do a nice deal in private lol...

The authorities lol already knew.

Why not, Polak is done and dusted at Freo, theyll be lucky to get a 3rd rounder for Polak now. Gaspars gone for mine.

As long as we don't give up a 1st or 2nd rounder I'll trade for Polak. A change of scenery would be perfect for him

[Bulluss]

Well he couldnt do any worse than what we had today.

Gaspar and our 4th rd

for Polak and their 4th rd.

Do you reckon Gaspar is worth anything?  I would have thought he was on his last year.  Who'd want a 30+ injury prone backman?

[letsgetiton!]

By the way whats this rumour that an out of contract star at another club will nominate us as his preferred destination come seasons end. Anyone know anything lol? And im not talking about one of the publically known players who people are talking about at the moment.

i know he is not a star but uis it jason cloke??

he played a top game on teh w/e, has been really good in the vfl this yr, is a good mark and a strong body. is he of any value to us, even though he is a cloke??

Not worth a cent or a trade for a boot studder now, Juliz.  Should have gotten rid of him when he tried to up his price.  But everyone wanted him then and they let him blackmail the club.  Not his fault to want to get the most out of his limited time in footy - just stupid administrators.  Should have traded him then and it should have been us screwing other clubs to get some value out of him with a good trade and a couple of draft picks. We've got him i reckon until he retires - nobody will want him.

hansen iirc was a tiger supporter and wants to come home, could he slot in at chb??

[PuntRdRoar]

Someone will pay something because full backs who can play on gorillas are still needed in the game.

As Moi and Julz said Gas' trade value is zilch.

We don't need another dud. Clement and Presti allow him to be the third man up. One on one he is useless. Travis looks like being the only decent Cloke of the three.

i know it was just the dawks, but jason cloke on the w/e made clement lok hopeless and was the bog . imo clement isnt that good, he is just pumped up by his coach and the media, and i stand by my word that he is no where near as good as ppl make out, and imo , i reckon j.cloke has more to offer(dud or not) than the duds we have in defence like hall

Darren took $500K less to stay with Richmond than to go to fremantle - also happy to offer to take a pay cut his poor year in 2004 after the knee op.  that's loyalty in my book and I bet those bagging here would all leave their current employer if another employer offered a five year contract and 100k more per year.  All on another planet you lot - just need to whinge for the sake of it and BTW in rounds 13-16 when Darren played he kept Tredrea, Neitz, Tarrant and Hall to a combined total of three goals.  In rounds 12 and 17 when Gas wasn't playing Franklin and Gehrig kicked 16 goals on Hall and friends.  Some people have fillet mignon served on a platter and still screech for hamburger.

Dont know why I bother really

Performances such as Saturday's bring out the 25 years of frustration in alot of us glove (maybe all of us). These games test our resolve as supporters but many people here especially the mature types lol are long term loyal Tiger members and a few of us here have been on various Tiger forums, such as the defunct Roarpower and Tigerfury, for 6-7 years now . We ain't going anywhere  . We just hope the Tigers are going somewhere  .

Gas is still our best option at FB by far which is a compliment on Gas as he is still an excellent stopper as recent weeks have shown but it's an indictment on the RFC given he is 30 and nearing the end of his career. The game has also changed and quickened so even FBs need to rebound which means their kicking skills need to be precise. Sadly Gas' kicking is his major flaw. Spud totally butchered our list by recruiting hardly any KPPs. Razor is a tall flanker and Schulz is a natural forward. Just picking up two talls in 5 years was a disgrace. As for the contracts signed in 2001, blame the stupid admins at the time (Brayshaw) for being weak as they were with Holland.

Love the analogy.  I still think we are better off having Gaspar in our side.  I was just saying to those who want to trade him that, apart from us, he isn't worth anything to any other club.  Even if he stays at Richmond he probably only has a season or two left in him - injuries aside.
