Player Watch Mitch Podhajski

[Snapper was right]

I come in peace - I used to see Mitch as my podiatrist a few years back. An awesome fella, and clearly a gun forward. I'll be watching and wishing him well!

Great for Pod but what about the Swad?

 

[TradeDraft]

O'Bree was right saying he pretty much straight in the AFL Side

Though I guess that Means West Misses Out

So was manic

Can’t wait for him to kick the opening goal.

Go well, Pods!

Too young

You're lucky I don't give you an uppercut for talking in the 3rd person. But go well Pod.

 

[Chunky Steak]

Let's go Pods!

Enjoyed his game from limited supply in the VFL. He hunted for different ways to get involved and has a really good sense of where the goals are - a bit like Ginnivan had back before he became a fully fledged penis.

I really love seeing some of these older players finally getting a chance to live their dream.

Me too. He deserves it, been a good player for long enough now.

 

[Peters_Nuts]

I’m so happy for him but holy moly what a great response to Fly’s question.

“Rightly or wrongly if you pick me this week I’ll come in feeling confident”.

 

[Bianconeri]

Not a shock he’s given a quick debut, we’re desperate up forward and we were pretty up front he was picked to give us an immediate goal kicking option.

I reckon he’ll kick 4.

This is great news, made my day. Go well young Pods.

Surprised nobody took him in last year's msd.

 

[JoinDate]

Just saw the short pop up on my YouTube feed. Congratulations to the Pod, go get it mate!

I call it the pigeon hole effect. Some players just get pigeon holed by recruiters. Manah from Geelong is another one.

"Remember the name".....after he bags 3 or 4.... Great story

 

[Vicky Park]

We’re having a few debut this year. Who knows if they’ll all become regulars, but it’s fun to see.

And Pods is a ‘proper’ forward. The kind who kicks goals. Hoo-bloody-ray!

 

[Daicosian silk]

Well done M Pod. Up the Pod and up the Pies!

 

[Exambolor]

Last time we grabbed a mature aged key forward with an European surname he turned out to be pretty alright.

MPod could be our new Checkers

 

[Daicosian silk]

He’s come in as a Jamie Elliot replacement. Different sort of player but Jamie plays tall. Hope he kicks a bag!

“Rightly or wrongly if you pick me this week I’ll come in feeling confident”.

Quite refreshing to hear a new player come in and speak like an intelligent adult with some life experience, isn't it? Which is clearly what he is.

Gee I want him to make it. These are my absolute favourite stories in footy.
