In 2009, James Podsiadly was a man with a football career barely alive. But Bomber Thompson said just before the 2010 draft, "We can rebuild him." This guy didnt wait to seize his second chance - he grabbed it by the throat. Along with Michael Barlow, Pods is the fairytale of 2010. The story of how a good 28-year-old VFL player can become one of the great power forwards in the AFL in 2010 says there’s still something great about this game we love.
As a fantasy bargain, he’s up there with the all time steals. At basement rookie prices at the start of the season, it just doent get any better than this.
Watch this guy play and he just circles the goalside 50% of the ground like a shark. His marks inside 50 stats are awesome. His contested mark stats are unbelievable. And he’s a great kick. He has shown up the kids running around that kicking long goals has become a lost artform, and Pods is doing his best to start a renaissance of accountable, long distance goal kicking.
He is the total package, a brute of a man. I saw him lay four tackles in 10 minutes against Richmond this year at Kardinia Park. Of these four tackles, three Richmond players needed to be benched after being caught by the most determined player playing football this year. Dont mess with the Pod.
