AFL career
Vardy is a mobile ruckman at 1.99 metres (6.5 ft) tall and weighing 101 kilograms (220 lb), with good skills and a fierce competitive drive. He was drafted by the Geelong Football Club with their fourth selection, and the forty-second overall draft pick in the 2009 National Draft. He played four games for Vic Country at the 2009 AFL National Under 18 Championships and finished equal fourth overall for hit-outs to advantage (13) and fifth for total hit-outs (59). He was selected to make his debut in round 9, 2011 against the Carlton. He injured his hip against Adelaide Crows in round 21 in 2011, and was out for a calendar year. He made his return on the 1 September against Sydney Swans after proving his fitness in the reserves.
At the conclusion of the 2016 season, Vardy was traded to West Coast. In 2017, with Nic Naitanui and Scott Lycett injured, Vardy had to take charge as West Coast's number one ruckman and played almost every game.
