James Podsiadly

[rizzo]

Surely worth a bit of a look. Ready made and could slot into our 22

I agree with you, rizzo. I have actually thrown his name up before, but Pods has really improved since then. His performances against our VFL side were very strong, even though he didn't show it on the scoreboard. In the first clash, he beat Egan, whilst in the second encounter he spanked Spencer.
He is a powerfully built KPP who is ready made to slot into a side if good enough. I think you may even see further improvement if he is on an AFL list (he will be playing and training professionally).
Pods had a run with the Cats after the 2002 season, but as I said, he has improved greatly since then. I have seen many games of his due to my association with the Werribee Football Club and he was simply fantastic this season, and he won the B&F too!
People expecting him to come in and kick bags would be disappointed. However, any club that takes the punt at drafting this 24-year-old will be rewarded with a bloke who gives his all and would be extremely serviceable.
I understand there may be interest from the Bulldogs and Sydney, so if the Cats were to have a look they would really need to consider where they wanted to draft him.
And if selected, Pods would be re-united with his best mate (DJ) and that too could be a positive.

Would be much better value than McCarthy.

How much would the doggies cry if we took him at 35.

24 years old, 192 cm and 96 kg.

Well according to the collingwood past players website.

Seems a likely type.

Bulldogs well be getting him.

why do you think we got picks 46 and 56.

For him.

 

[Adrian Shelton]

In an ideal world hes a either a Cat or north Adelaide rooster next yr, seeing the Roosters have already got Clinton Alleway i'll be happy with the first option.

 

[patdman]

Yeah, this guy's going to the doggies.
Rodney Eade was saying that he wished you could promote VFL listed players to the AFL list mid season, as Pods' played well all year and the Doggies could have used someone like him, after Darcy & Grant went down.

For him.

Why do you think we traded chambers for 35

The only way you could play Podsiadly would be to dump Kingsley. Very similar players and you couldn't have two of them in the same side.

He'll go to the doggies, but wuld like to c him at skilled
