| LEADING VFL forward James Podsiadly is set to join Geelong's VFL side next season. This year's VFL Liston Trophy winner is headed to Skilled Stadium after stunning Werribee with the news that he was quitting the club. Geelong VFL operations manager Ben Waller said while Podsiadly had not officially signed with the Cats yet, he was expected to do by Monday. Waller added that Podsiadly was also joining the club's fitness and conditioning department, where he would work closely with Geelong's young AFL-listed players in the VFL side. ``It's great that one of the best players in the competition has agreed to join us and we think that James is someone that will really help our young playing group next year,'' Waller said. With the retirement of long-serving captain James Byrne, the addition of Podsiadly to their line-up would be a welcome boost to the inexperienced VFL Cats, who slipped to 10th in the 2008 season after winning the premiership the previous year. Werribee president John Nicol said Podsiadly, the VFL's leading goalkicker in 2005, had rejected the club's new contract offer. Nicol added that the club had given Podsiadly their ``full support'' during his attempts to earn a spot at AFL level. He did pre-season training with Richmond and the Western Bulldogs two summers ago. The 27-year-old, a former Essendon and Collingwood rookie, has played more than 150 VFL games and captained Werribee for the last two seasons. He represented the VFL four times. He booted 86 goals in the 2008 season to lead Werribee to the preliminary final. |

| I'm not worried about him - I post here now just to keep his name off from appearing as the last poster on the sports message board page. Since all he says is cr@p, why give him credit to have his name on that page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| *FORMER South Barwon superstar Dale Amos has been appointed coach of Geelong's VFL team. The triple GFL premiership coach will take the reins tonight when the Cats reserves begin pre-season training at Eastern Gardens. Amos, 31, takes over from Leigh Tudor, who accepted an assistant coaching position at St Kilda earlier this week. He said he was thrilled to join the Cats' coaching panel. "This is a great opportunity and I am excited to be joining such a great club and to be working with such well-regarded coaches, players and staff,'' Amos said. "The club's efforts over the past couple of seasons are well-known and I am looking forward to playing my role in ensuring we develop our young players so that they realise their potential and give themselves the best opportunity to be good AFL players. "Geelong general manager of football operations Neil Balme said Amos came to the club with fantastic credentials, having led South Barwon to premierships in 2005, 2006 and 2007 during his five year tenure with the Swans. "He has an excellent track record and is a quality person. We think with the structure that we have in place he is an ideal person to coach our VFL team,'' Balme said. Amos played 216 matches with the Swans and was a member of the club's 2001, 2005 and 2007 premiership sides, having missed the 2006 triumph with a season ending knee injury. He also played 36 games for St Arnaud in the North Central League and was a VFL listed player with St Kilda in 2000, playing 12 matches.* Good on the Cats for sticking with local talent when selecting a new coach rather then go for someone outside the area. It will be a test for Amos in his 1st season coaching at VFL level but he has a good group of people around him to help him out. |
