Polak was crossing the intersection of Orrong and Dandenong roads with team-mates Cleve Hughes and Jordan MCMahon when the 24-year-old did not look and was struck by the oncoming tram.
Club doctor Greg Hickey says that Polak suffered a brain injury, and was put into an induced coma at the Alfred Hospital. His playing future is now in doubt.
