Could Polak play Full Back

[Moi]

Re Polak – Terry said we’re looking for a key defender – but very, very non committal and very, very short reply to caller's question lol

[bluey_21]

Only interested if we can get him for a 3rd rounder at most, unlikely to happen though

Richmond confirmed its interest in Fremantle key-position player Graham Polak, but football director Greg Miller said the Tigers would not start to lobby for a trade until he had spoken to Polak, which he said was likely to happen within a week.

Polak, who has also been linked to the Western Bulldogs, played 11 games this season for a career tally of 73 in five years. But he played just once since round 13 and was overlooked in Fremantle's three finals appearances.

Made-up trade but based around alleged interested parties and names 

Rich:  Krakouer, pick 42 for Rosa, Polak
Freo: Polak for Sampi 
WCE: Rosa, Sampi for Krakouer, pick 42

 

[Puntroadroar]

Any of you reckon Polak could play full back. I reckon he could easily do CHB and even up forward. but hes a big lump of a guy, taken 4th overall in the superdraft, played at a comedy capers club for a long time, still young. At 23 or 24 I reckon we should look at it. We have no one to play on the huge forwards.

.. Trade talks appear to have cooled over Fremantle key position player Graham Polak. Polak is out of contract and finished the season out of Fremantle's senior team, fuelling speculation that he may be traded to another club.

While Polak has received strong interest from Richmond and Carlton, which has the first pick in the pre-season draft, Richmond football manager Greg Miller yesterday predicted the 22-year-old would remain a Docker.

[letsgetiton!]

Maybe he thinks hes got Perry over the line who knows

thats the general feeling going around, word was tigers had a bigger fish to fry and better than polak, maybe pery is teh one

[cub]

WHO - Never heard of him, looked up in North profile been around a while and not much to show for it. Somehow he dont seem like a big fishy to me.

[letsgetiton!]

I dont think Perry would sort of constitute being a big fish, just rather if Miller and Wallace have Perry and they feel Perry can take his opportunity then the money they would have given to Polak can go to another player they maybe interested in who may be a bigger fish indeed. For mine, from the times Ive seen Perry play which is limited he does have the capacity to do well, and if we get him and he takes his opportunity we could have a full back who plays 200 games for us.

maybe he does not have the "name" but he has more potential imo, and i bet miller and wallace think so too

[mightytiges]

I see bee dee on BF reckons Polak is a done deal  ???.

As for Perry - he's 21 so I'm guessing the club thinks like many talls he has taken longer to develop and we can grab him off North just as he's about to break into the seniors after 4 years on their list. He played 8 games this year.

This person might know a journo now up in Canberra? Someone from Freo could have leaked it? It could be complete crap? Like you say X who knows.

If Polak is coming to Richmond then it might involve a 3-way trade with Freo and the Pies:

Fremantle is also interested in acquiring Tarrant — but only if it loses its underachieving, versatile key-position player Graham Polak, who is believed to be leaning towards staying with the Dockers.

Fremantle has been in contact with the Magpies to indicate it might be interested in trading for Tarrant. Otherwise, most expressions of interest have been made to his manager, Paul Connors, who is also the manager of Polak.

Both Carlton and Richmond have spoken to Polak, who is uncontracted, with the former seeing a chance to acquire a 22-year-old tall defender or forward who fits the club's policy of recruiting only players 24 and under.
