You're being kind Caz, as is your way! We,aren't close at the moment...Polson literally cost us today's game today with 30 seconds of patheticness!!! Shows nothing!
I remember when a young Simpson made a much worse skill error costing us a win against Essendon*****, lucky we didn't write him off aye, that would have been when Simmo was about 100 games in too. How many games has Polson played?[/quote]
Remember that. In 2011. He dumped a short pass to Murphy out on the full. From the free kick Essendon**** scored a point to draw the game. It was one of the all-time shocking kicks. Anyway, he's certainly kicked on from there.[/quote]
That was only 7 seasons ago, he was already a proven afl player by then...Polson will never be able to say that I fear.[/quote]
Be doing well to be as good as Simmo but doesn't mean he can't be a good role player at some stage. If Simmo was making errors as an established players then a kid might make more. Don't expect miracles from a pick 59 but it doesn't mean you can't find a role for them. Polson won't be a star but he does show something and certainly alot better than some of our pick 50 somethings back a few years ago. Swans are experts at turning the ordinary into good by finding the right role for them.[/quote]
This.
He shows that he can tackle and get the footy.
He lacks finesse with ball in hand.
He will get used to the pace of the game by racking up games.
