Josh Caddy

His ability to play midfield is helping us get by when we’re hurt by injuries to other midfielders. It’s important he can do this so Dusty has more freedom once other players are fit. This helps us win premierships. Gun.

Not denying that, talking about the player. Cam Mooney was a premiership player at North, had zero possessions. Being a premiership player does not make you a better footballer IMHO, it is a nice title tho.

Has kicked 40 odd goals and was instrumental in a premiership year. You have always been off the mark with Caddy.

Yep. Caddy is clearly a better forward than a mid but he can pinch hit as a mid, and that's what we've asked him to do while Lambert etc have been out. In our best team he's forward 90% of the time.

You're comparing Caddys performances at Richmond to Cam Mooneys performances at North? Laughable.

I agree with your point, some as misunderstanding what you actually meant.

The difference between Caddy the player at Geelong and Caddy the player at Richmond is, in my opinion, that Richmond has a better culture and is the better club.

That’s why we got more out of him.

I’d say most of our list has fulfilled their potential in ways that other clubs aren’t matching right now. So it’s correct to say he’s got the same weaknesses at Richmond as he did at Geelong and he’s no more talented because of the premiership player label.

Our injury crisis has just meant we’re utilising him differently right now, and maybe the losses have meant the club’s narrative has changed a little in the short-term, I don’t know. Either way, our success has been a result of a culture and system that gets more out of players like Caddy than most other clubs are able to get. So yes, of course he’s still got similar strengths and weaknesses as he did at Geelong, but that’s not what matters.

Was AA squad last year along with Hawkins and Blicavs.

Admittedly not the same multi-faceted player this year after an interrupted prep.

Been disappointing. Not sure how long the "interrupted preseason" excuse can last.
 
His selfishness and lack of comittment *smile* me. That’s why he’s on his 3rd club.
 
this bloke is doing nothing. absent for 7/8ths tonight. no second efforts at all.
