If, and let's assume the rumor mill is right, North are offering 5 x $750k that would be reflective of at least a 1st round pick or an established player, wouldn't it?
In a fair trade yes... But if Polec wants to go, North will get him in the pre-season draft as they have priced anyone out of the market.
While his 2014 and 2017 years were pretty good as well, in 2018 Polec seems to have taken his game to another level. He has achieved career highs for kicks (24 against Brisbane in Round 3), handballs (16 against North Melbourne in Round 6), disposals (34 against North Melbourne in Round 6), marks (12 against Brisbane in Round 3) and tackles (12 against North Melbourne in Round 6). He is also ranked 14th in the competition for metres gained with a total of 6558.

Makes me wonder, their play at Kelly, Martin, Sloane et al, were they all a ruse just to keep the cash in their back pocket for Polec?
@Spargo will be beside himself with joy. New guernsey for him next year with a new number!
Taken his game to a new level this year, if we get him & he holds/propels his form again, then I’ll be ecstatic. We’re still a very big chance to get Kelly at the end of next season.

Polec would have to come via the PSD then? Kelly's the best player in the comp I reckon & it would require at least 3 first round picks minimum over 2 years to get him.
Do North have that many picks without having to trade for Polec also?
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Kelly is no trade just $$$$. So really if young have the war chest it's easily done.
Polec might cost you a first rounder though. But Polec is 25 and Kelly is 23 so brining in 2 guys in there prime for one younger player might be worth it.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

Might be on the cards if GWS think they will get more value now
) Kelly will be a free agent = no trade
