Wow, Geelong have done it again, found a guy who in only his second game, kicks 5 goals. If only we had the talent spotters that they have at the Cats. Just imagine if we had guys like Podsiadly and Barlow playing for us. Oh well, thats the luck of the draw I guess. Thank goodness these guys were never on our list or training with us, imagine how embarassing that would be
Don't forget that he is getting A+ delivery. If he played for us, he would be struggling. Having said that, he was a very good pickup for Geelong.
Barlow was just one of those that got away. As I have mentioned, If we had taken Barlow, Freo would have taken Hardingham. The club were hoping to grab him with the second selection.

Yes he was on both our rookie list for a year then Collingwoods for a year.... he wasnt a very good forward back then. It took him quite a few years in the VFL before he started becoming a dangerous forward.
I dont think we need a 28 year old key forward clogging the space when we have so many young KPP wanting to get a game (Hurley, Gumby, Neagle, Daniher, Carlisle and Still being a few).
That Podsiadly is supposed to be "ONLY 28??" Does anyone else on here think as I do that he looks about 10 years older than that. I have a 41 year old son who looks way younger than him..... poses the question in my mind I wonder how well they check these things or could it be a bit like the blokes who signed up to fight in the world wars... lying about their age (only the other way around)
I got the impression our Bruce might have been thinking along the same lines on 7 during the commantary on Sunday when the Pods came back to the bench after kicking his 5th during the last quarter...."Gee" Brucie said "He looks every bit of 28 doesn't he"

Sportsmen always look older than they really are. However I agree that Pods definintley looks like he is a Country Footy League vet who has played 549 games for Swan Hill and also runs the social club

I guess the main problem is what does sarcasm look like? Also, if you go without one, some people might not realise you are taking the urine and that can often be humorous.
