Dean Polo was recruited to the Saints from Richmond, where he was drafted to the side with the 20th selection overall in the 2004 AFL Draft.

Dean made his AFL debut in 2006 and was awarded with a nomination for the AFL Rising Star the same year, and finished in the top 10 of Richmond’s Best and Fairest.

 After playing 21 games for Richmond in 2009, Dean fell out of favour in 2010, managing only four games. Overall, the close-checking defender played 56 games for Richmond before being placed in the 2010 AFL National Draft where he was a sixth round selection for the Saints.

Dean played 15 games in his first season with the Saints and made an impressive impact bringing added hardness to the midfield. The 25-year-old averaged 17 possessions a game in 2011. He has plenty of run and shows courage in the air and on the ground.

 He can read the play well and plays his best football when given a man to beat. The Saints believe he will add depth to their midfield, re-signing Dean at the end of last season.

Dean is currently studying certificate three in carpentry at Chisholm Institute of Tafe.
