Interesting that it's a 2 year deal. Surely there'll be some performance/games played guarantees in the contract.

With injuries to Walker and Jenkins I would see him playing a fair bit next year and then taking on a role in the fitness dept after that. Apparently is well qualified in that area, so I think it is a good appointment. Remember too, that he has not had a long career in AFL despite his age, so his body isn't that of the standard 32 year old AFL player who has been in the system for 12+ years. Could easily have 2 years in him.

Nice pick up.
Won't moving from Geelong to Adelaide be a step back in time.

Good get Crows.
They did but were not keen on a 2 year deal for a 31yo, Adelaide were so they got him
Good for him. At least his at a team that Geelong respects.

You must be thrilled that your club has secured Podsiadly.
Wait a second..................
Carlton were interested in Podsiadly but Adelaide came over the top with the better offer. I know you therefore equate this to being a Carlton failure, but you've never really been a fan of the truth.

Has kicked 169 goals in his last 4 years.
Even at 31, he is a class above Waite (30), Rowe & Casboult.
Offering him a 2 year deal at 31 is not as bad as offering the chronically injured Waite a 3 year deal at 29.
How's the body? Any concerns?

We all know you hate Carlton but J Pod is not a class above Waite.
In 2013 Waite kicked 27 goals in 14 games compared to J Pod's 33 goals from 23 games.
Waite also played in defense during the season as well.
J Pod is less injury prone than Waite but is definitely not a class above.
Yeah it's a move from 1974 back to about 1957
Never been a huge Waite fan but * me he tore us a new one this year.
What might have been with a bit of durability eh

Good to see a GWS fan put the boots in, but i suppose that's how them foothills role.
if his body held up he could have been anything.

And half a brain. Whenever he's not getting injured he seems to be getting suspended for silly snaps.
That too.. While not in the class of "What could have been? miracle talent", I think injuries & the occasional brain snap have robbed him of what could have been a very good Carlton career.
That's a bit of a furphy, he has been suspended once in 3 years for a minor headbutt which cost him 1 week.
