He was dropped to the club's VFL-affiliate Williamstown on a number of occasions, and at the end of the season, was delisted. Post-AFL career Woewodin hoped to be picked up in the pre-season draft to extend his career beyond 2006 (he expressed interest in re-joining Melbourne), but was eventually overlooked by all clubs in the draft. He gave a candid interview on SEN 1116 revealing his disbelief and frustration at not being picked up when, realistically, he could have played for another three or four seasons.
