Play Polec if not sub?

[ubeaut]

I know mid rookies are more reliable, but is anyone worried that if they don't start Polec 1 or 2 of their other mid rookies might be sub and it'll be too late?

Look what happened with Langdon. I didn't expect him to be the new Heath Shaw but I should have put him on regardless as he wasn't sub. McDonald could be and we could  have a slight problem (especially if Langford or whoever is also sub)

Same could happen in the mids although it's less likely. But I see Ellis for example being sub/subbed.

one of the better performed NAB rooks so locked in on ground for me

Really surprised to even see this get asked

If not sub, of course we play him. Lockity Lock :)

Broadbean the sub

I'm very uneasy about starting Polec, people need to consider that practice matches are largely void of close checking and there's no denying that Polec's form will come under intense scrutiny. With Melbourne playing St Kilda, I think I will go with the hardnut inside mids, Tyson, Michie & Dunstan seem sure things to knock up about 80 each, something which might be out of reach for Polec.

Only place to not start him is AF as you can easily trade in a doughnut to loophole him. SC/DT and everything else.... START HIM!!!!!

Fair call Bully, and perhaps I didn't consider that with my initial reply mentioning I am surprised to see this even be asked

I have 4 mids on field, so for me I will start Polec, and decide between Dunstan and Ellis who gets M8

Seeing as Crouch won't be named this week I think I may loophole Polec this week. No harm in doing so. If he smashes it just chuck Crouch on there with Polec having the 'E' on him

Anything less than 60 odd and I'll have enough faith to play my other rookies in front of him.

Sando said 3 days ago that he thinks Crouch is likely to debut...

Well that does change a few things RD

I am sold on Dunstan and maybe even Michie as try play each other, it's just between Ellis and Polec. I'm thinking Polec.

I've just traded out Daisy because I want to properly assess my options next week and loophole Polec. If he goes well and Crouch isn't fit then it may shape my team.

Definitely

Ugly start for Polec - cant only get better I guess (hope!)
