Nakia Cockatoo is currently on a modified training program at Geelong, in recent weeks he has been dealing with hamstring tightness.
The pre-season interruption will put Cockatoo in doubt for Round 1, Geelong will likely take a conservative path in the hope he can return to full fitness.

The ability for Cockatoo to be healthy for a prolonged period of time over his career is extremely poor, this will need to be taken into account if a decision needs to be made during the upcoming 2020 season.
Cockatoo is now a pass in classic with a potential downgrade option throughout 2020, he’s a pass in draft.
