Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
A lot more? Doubt it, especially considering Tom Mitchell went for pick 14. Here's a good summary of Rocky's market value.

And I think people are too quick to dismiss the Cats, I've been hoping they would take a tumble but that doesn't seem likely to eventuate. Should knock off Hawthorn next week and be 4-0.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
I do play Supercoach but I also realise that Sam Mitchell & Jordan Lewis should have cost a lot more than they did. It was Rocky's public profile that saw his value diminish and Brisbane were very open to shunting him off to the highest bidder, problem being that there wasn't even the slightest bit of interest. A combination of money, ill timed tweets and a bad reputation is enough to lower anyone's trade value.
Would I approach him now? Absolutely, but the problem is we are already paying a bloke 400k to fill the same position. At least if we had Barlow on the books we could push him back to reserves level with mimimal fuss. We are stuck with Caddy for the next 4 years unfortunately, that means little wriggle room to upgrade the mid/HFF role.

Bullus' posts say it all.
Were many comments at trade time that Lions would trade Rocky for mid 20 pick.
Plenty of reports about him from Brisbane: excessive partying, mean to kids, arrogant, over-priced
Pick 25 for one of the best mids in the comp playing in one of the worst teams.
Instead we paid overs for Caddy cos Geelong said they wanted to keep him.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
For the "Bull" he's made out to be by players and media, I'm yet to see any of it. Haven't seen him back into a pack - only likes contact when he can see it coming. Needs to look at Vlas's game - and play like him.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
Already contributing more than Caddy, he was about as plug and play as any rookie in the draft.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
If we'd thought this through logically we could have taken Parfitt with pick 24, picked up Barlow on minimum wages and then targeted Rockliff as a free agent. Money wise we haven't over spent but we are still making some good progress with our personnel.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
Merely a place holder on minimum wages. Would offer some temporary relief whilst we scout around for a viable free agent. The problem with Caddy types is they chew up far too much cap space relative to their output. Two Caddy's will never equal one Rockliff. Unfortunately, this has been the Richmond way for as long as I can remember.

Very good work Leysy to put that link back to last year.
That thread covers it all re Rockliff.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
Tom Rockliff for a 20s pick is a no brainer. So it had the be the money that was the sticking point. And that will become the sticking point when he comes up as an RFA. We still want him.
As for Caddy, he has to lift. He is not running hard enough. He was a liability last week.
As for whether we'd prefer the pick or Caddy right now, Bully holds all the cards IMO.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
If we got him to be a forward it'll be the worst trading since Biddiscombe! Averages .80 goals a game.
If we got him to be a mid who goes forward why isn't he spending time in the midfield?
I've just read his pre 2010 draft write up. Says he hits the packs with a burst of speed.....
