Polec may not play in Friday's preseason match against Hawthorn due to a hamstring injury, per Riley Beveridge of the league's official website.
ANALYSIS
Polec still figures to be ready for round one but could be kept out of Friday's match while he completes his recovery. While not always a high-value option, Polec is capable of putting up solid numbers with a season-high of 25 disposals in a single match and collecting at least three marks in all but three matches in 2020.
Ends season on a high note

September 18, 2020
Polec ended with 25 disposals (20 kicks, five handballs), four marks and two tackles in Thursday's 49-34 loss to West Coast.
ANALYSIS
Polec ended his season on a high-note, amassing a season-high 25 disposals. The Kangaroos led early before being run down, summing up their disappointing season. The club wasted no time wielding the axe, cutting 11 players from their senior roster only hours after the loss. There are going to be a number of changes coming around the club and based on their efforts this season, that certainly can't be a bad thing.
