Trying to look at a like for like comparison - I've chosen Justin Westhoff given the way Port use him around the ground - up forward and then also to spare in defence. He rucks sometimes which Pods does not, but overall they have the forward / back thing in common.
Looking at basic stats;
Hoff - 18.2 disp, 7 marks , 1.1 goals
Pods - 14 disp, 5.7 marks , 1.3 goals
I think Hoff is generally more active around the ground than Pods and also has played 1 more game. Clearly he has had a better season.
But I don't think Pods looks too bad in comparison
