[edit] Career

Gardiner was recruited from the Sandringham Zebras and was pick no. 23 by Geelong in the 2001 National Draft draft.

Gardiner was in the TAC Cup Team of the Year and Under-18 All-Australian Team in 2001. Gardiner was also runners up in Sandringham's best & fairest and Under-18 Victoria Metro representative in 2001. In 2002 Gardiner debuted for Geelong's senior side later the same year.

Gardiner was traded to St Kilda Football Club during trade week 2007, along with fellow Cat's player Steven King for St Kilda's draft selection 90. He has impressed so much to have Fraser Gehrig dropped for his inclusion in Round 5.
