Polak - 2008 expectations?

[one-eyed]

What are your expectations for Polak this year and what would be a good year for him?

[Mopsy]

I think that if Polak is allowed to settle down into a permanent field position he will fire

[TFL]

I am expecting big things from Polak this year.

He will get another full pre-season under his belt and the confindence that he gained from last season should give him the drive to work hard and get himself fitter and bigger.

[Mr Magic]

I think he will spend more time at CHF than CHB.
His defensive abilities to play man on man are still under question but he has a great set of mits.
We need to utilise that and he seems a better option up front than Hughes or Schulz at this point..

Agree Magic. Hopefully he's been working on his goalkicking if he does play mostly forward this year.

[WilliamPowell]

Hopefully he wont have to play in the ruck

I reckon he will be first choice CHB and 2nd choice CHF

[Francois Jackson]

for god sake let the guy settle in the one position.

in 07 they played him here there and everywhere

[torch]

hopefully he can PUNCH the bloody ball in defence ... CHB Polak is and always should be ...

l agree but l hope rancedevelops quickly into the gun chb he should be then polak will probably be moved forward

[Darth Tiger]

Polak is not a permanent forward which was figured out very early cos he does not have the endurance to get to a contest (eg Jon Brown), nor does he have the depth of kicking distance to be a lead-up forward.

Granted can Graeme can take a grab - if he gets to the contest, but he will not make a sustainable AFL career if he is played as a loose man in defense.

Didn't hear Miller blowing GP 's trumpet after the latest tan run, did he finish 2nd last again ? 

A query for the training watchers ... What are his skin folds ?  Has he got rid of the puppy fat and added muscle definition ?

More questions than answers with GP.

We recruited him as a CHB, lets leave him there to make his mark on the competion

[08yearofthetiger]

If Polak plays CHB then he needs to become accountable for his man and learn to know when to mark or spoil. He does not yet posses this skill.

Could Polak play CHF i do not know nor do i know if he has the tank.

Expect him to play about 70%in defence and 30% in attack.
 

[Mr Magic]

There's rumours he didn't come back from the break in great shape.
We need a big year from this player. I hope he's fair dinkum..

unfortunately he will do a shocking knee in round 7
