Could Polak play Full Back

[WilliamPowell]

AK was all australian, how about we trade him for polak lol 

So was Jonathon Hay - so maybe they should look to the Roos

[cub]

Spot on Tigers and Miller - We are building something here and the times are a changin  

[mightytiges]

The Dockers are likely to demand at least a second round draft pick for Polak, given that at 22 and with 73 games behind him he is coming into the peak years of his career.

Peak of his career  ??? - what in the WAFL lol

As X said Polak being pick 4 in 2001 means nothing now just as Fiora being pick 3 was when we got rid of him. Well done Greg  .

Just a reminder folks about posting rumours etc....after having to edit a couple of posts on this thread ....

that from a legal stand  point people need to be careful not to mention or allude to players in regards to unsubstanciated rumours. It can and will get OER in strife.

Thanks guys & gals

WP, I didn't think that making reference to a players possible taste in music was considered defamatory.    But I'm happy to sit with your decision.

Great post.

The last fringe player we got coming into the "peak of his powers" was Shane Morrison.

At least we are learning. Good stuff GM.

DO NOT OVERVALUE ANOTHER CLUB'S DUDS!

IF Polak gets to us, it will be a player swap

Thanks tiga - though I suppose it depends on the music and the taste

Here is my trade idea:

Richmond trades Tuck and pick 26 to Freo for Polak and pick 13. So we end up with Polak and picks 8 & 13. We then try to trade up with Brisbane to pick 3 for picks 8 &13. We would also try to move on Krak for a second rounder. So in this scenario we would end up with:
Polak + picks 3, 28ish, 42 etc.

Brissy might be willing to accept that if they are after Armitage as rumoured who will probably still be around at 8 but they have pick 4 not 3. We'd still miss out on Gumby and Hansen but we could get Thorp at 4. It would be tempting to just keep both 8 & 13 if we could pull that trade with Freo off.

The Dockers are considering the possibility of Richmond's Shane Tuck joining them as a part of a trade for the uncontracted Graham Polak. Tuck was one of a number of names raised by the Tigers, who say they need to lose a player — for money reasons — to get Polak. West Australian Mark Coughlan, however, was not one of the options.

The Herald-Sun thinks the Polak deal is about to fall over....

Another scenario that looks like falling over is Fremantle's Graham Polak to Richmond. The clubs are moving further and further away from a deal.

The Tigers won't give up their first-round pick (No. and have dismissed the Dockers' request for West Australian-born midfielder Mark Coughlan.

"It is only an outside chance now," Richmond football director Greg Miller said.

Polak had also spoken to Carlton, but the Blues don't have anything that interests Fremantle.

It is believed St Kilda has flagged interest in Polak.

Well I hope we get something in addition to Polak for Tuck if this is true.  I think he is worth more than a potential KPP.

Play hard ball.  1.30pm Friday....

tuck isnt that valuable, he may win a hard ball but his decision making isnt up 2 scratch. he is a player we wont miss if he moves on

Have to agree LT

IF we are the only ones who are really interested then we should sit and wait until Friday.

If in the meantime someone comes up with a better deal (eg a first roud pick for him) then let him go - because he isn't worth it
