    Long-term injury to rookie Cat opens door for veteran Podsiadly

    BRENT DIAMOND - February 14, 2010

    GEELONG'S mature-age forward James Podsiadly appears likely to be elevated from the rookie list and get a chance to play in the early rounds of the season proper after young forward Mitch Brown was recently put on the long-term injury list following a leg injury.

    Podsiadly, a previous J. J. Liston Trophy winner and goalkicking machine in the VFL, helped form a potent three-prong attack with Cam Mooney and Tom Hawkins in an intra-club match in western Sydney on Friday.

    The 28-year-old was a surprise addition to Geelong's team after being snared in last year's rookie draft, despite being previously trialled in the system at Essendon and Collingwood.

      Cant wait to watch the big pod play......im hoping he plays next week in the nab cup game against the roos....if he does ill be going to watch him for sure....

      Ill admit a few years back i thought he was to slow to make it at afl level...im glad hes proved me wrong and made it back onto an afl list with a big chance of playing some games...

      I no hes worked bloody hard to where he is today...awesome work pods...cant wait to see him in action...

              Hasn't played a game at afl level yet kicked a goal so how can he be a goal kicking machine?

                  He hasn't done anything yet, good luck to him but the jury is still out.

                      It stated VFL goal kicking machine which is what he was.

                              Alexxx didnt say it was Podsiadly.. A 28 yo goal kicking machine is perfect for what Geelong need.

                                  Maybe karna people.

                                  Pods may go OK, ditto Skipper for the Hawks and Moles will be a star for us.

                                      I still think his reaction time is too slow for AFL level. He wont be able to stop and prop the way he does at VFL level.



                                      Still he's worked hard and he's been patient-good luck to him.
                                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                          Has been named for his first AFL game this week. Replacing Mooney.

                                          Three cheers for Pods.

                                                  Good luck to him...only saw him play on TV a couple of times in the VFL, will be interesting to see how he goes on the big stage.

                                                      Good to see the big Pods making his debut, so far has been solid with 8 or 9 marks and a goal.

                                                          6 contested marks, geez! Not a bad return for a first game.
                                                          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
