News PODS Retires

[geelong_boy]

What a great effort to come from where he was in the VFL to become a fan favorite and key forward in a superteam.

Some of my favorite memories will be Pods crashing packs and giving that prancing pony Gibson a schooling whenever we played the arch enemy.

Way to go Pods. Anyone would be happy to have a career like his. 100 games almost 200 goals and a flag.

 

[THE CAT WRANGLER]

Bring him back as physio

100 games, premiership player, loved watching him play. Great footy story and he could play bloody well.

 

[you pick one]

No PO it's bloody un Australian.Well done big fella.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Well done Pods had a good career at the top level after years and years in the VFL.Then finally getting a crack at the AFL when most would of given up.
Highlight monstering JGibson.

He should have been getting a game late in the year for the Crows, he was kicking bags of 9 and 10 in the twos.

I read that he kicked 20 in his last two WAFL games.


EDIT- OK, thanks rocker_oz33 SANFL ^^^

I read that he kicked 20 in his last two WAFL games.

That's a bloody good effort since he was on the Crows list and their reserves play in the SANFL.

Well done to Pods on showing the footy world that he was good enough to play top line football after being passed over on a number of occasions.

It has been reported he is staying on in Adelaide, as a few mentioned, taking up a role with the South Australian government as a mental health ambassador.

Congrats to Pods on his career with both us and the Crows - played an important role and had a big impact for us in his few years at the club.

Also congrats to him for the recognition he received tonight at the Crows b&f, it does show what sort of team player he is:

Retiring Crow James Podsiadly is the recipient of the 2015 Phil Walsh Best Team Man Award.
The honour is a reflection of the influence Podsiadly, who didn’t play an AFL game this season, has on the Adelaide playing group.

Yes, well done rocker_oz33 on that fine pick up. Keep up the good work.

[Severe]

Well one. Without sounding over the top, his path was inspirational.

 

[ATSAM]

Watched some good footy last night , our 2011 PF against West Coast. Pods was massive in that game, areal influence on the forward line -strong marks, great goals- and led at everything.
We should have kept him just for what he can bring to a club.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Get Pure_Ownage a crash cart and someone stabilise him….

Or at the very least give him the day off work and a bottle of his favourite vice….

GO Catters

LOL Very thoughtful of you daz

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Thankyou Pods

Top pic - one former Cat, one *fingers crossed* future Cat!

Look at jPod's beautiful kick!

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Pity he was playing very well towards the end of the year for them in the seconds.

Hope he can find a rewarding career going forward was a big part of the team for 2011 he should be very proud of his AFL journey.

Best of lucks pods

jPod was a fitness trainer + was working at the Cats when he was discovered, so it would seem that's what he'd do +/or coaching.

Yes, well done rocker_oz33 on that fine pick up. Keep up the good work.

Boy Oh Boy!!! Wowee!!! This mighty fine work must make you guys feel like mighty clever guys, does it?

Obviously, neither of you have ever made a mistake? Nor let an opportunity slip by Keep up the good work!

 

[Zouz Kitty]

What I just love about the jPod is his enthusiasm, just a full on team player, hard at the ball + his tenacity!

jPod was a player who was respected + loved by his team mates + he just slotted straight into the team. Definitely made a massive contribution to our 11 flag.

 

[jim boy]

On the subject of former Geelong players at Adelaide, Milburn is apparently moving on, any chance of a return to KP?
