Timeline
Podsiadly announced his retirement at the end of the 2015 AFL season, during which he failed to play a senior game for the Crows.
Podsiadly started well at his new club in 2014, missing only one game for the season. He took 41 contested marks, ranked fourth in the AFL, and kicked 26 goals in 21 games, swinging between attack and defence. In round 18, Podsiadly played his 100th AFL game against Collingwood at the MCG.
At the end of the 2013 season, Geelong delisted Podsiadly, who thereby became an unrestricted free agent. He indicated that he was interested in playing with another club in 2014. On the last day of the 2013 free agency period, Podsiadly was traded for draft pick number 64 to Adelaide (rather than as a free agent), and signed a two-year contract.
During the 2011 season, Podsiadly kicked 52 goals and averaged over 12 disposals per game. Podsiadly played in the 2011 AFL Grand Final, where Geelong beat Collingwood. He was substituted out of the game in the second quarter after suffering a shoulder injury. He went on to play 18 and 16 games in the 2012 and 2013 seasons respectively.
Before being recruited to the AFL, Podsiadly played seven seasons in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He qualified for VFL life membership in 2009, represented the VFL in three state games and was named in the VFL's team of the year in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009.
After six seasons with Werribee, Podsiadly left the club to take up a dual role as a player and fitness coach at the Geelong VFL club. He captained the side in the 2009 VFL season, won the club's best & fairest award and was their leading goal-kicker, with 68 goals.
Podsiadly was selected as a mature aged rookie by Geelong in the 2009 AFL rookie draft at the age of 28 and played his first AFL game against Fremantle in round three of 2010. He was awarded 13 Brownlow Medal votes in his first year of AFL football.
During the 2008 VFL season, Podsiadly played his 100th game for Werribee and won his second best and fairest at the club. He also won the 2008 J. J. Liston Trophy.
Podsiadly was recruited by the VFL club, Werribee for the 2003 season. He won the club's best & fairest award and the Frosty Miller medal as the VFL's leading goal kicker in 2005, breaking Nick Sautner's six-year winning streak. During the 2005 AFL pre-season he trained with Werribee's former AFL affiliate, the Western Bulldogs and then in 2006 with Richmond.
Podsiadly played three games for Collingwood in the AFL Pre-Season competition of 2002. However, he did not play during the regular season and was delisted at the end of the year.
Originally playing for the Yarraville Football Club and the Western Jets, Podsiadly was recruited by Essendon in the 1999 AFL Rookie Draft with pick 58.
