Playing mostly as a medium defender, Polo enjoyed a solid year in 2009, finishing third at Richmond for loose-ball gets (48) and rebound 50s (56). Showed plenty of courage in the air and on the ground, read the play well and used the ball effectively. Plays his best football when given a man to beat, but could also be tried as an inside midfielder this season. Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2006. Brownlow Medal: career votes 5. Draft history: 2004 NAB AFL Draft 2nd round selection (Richmond) No. 20 overall.
