Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
I really struggle with Caddy. Would have preferred trying to land Jack Steele or just use the pick on a young bloke. I find him extremely overrated and struggles when the chips are down.
He is here now so hopefully he can live up to the hype but I won't hold my breath

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
I'd like to see him get a bit more of the ball, but he has been playing forward a lot which can be a bit of a graveyard.
He is a really good team player though, he put on two really good blocks in the third quarter against Collingwood which allowed Jack to take two marks and kick two goals. Without that awareness to block it's doubtful whether Jack takes those two marks. I reckon those two blocks were crucial to us winning as they were momentum turning.
I also thought he was very good in the last quarter against the Eagles when he spent a bit more time in the midfield.

I think Caddy has played his role crashes in lays tackles allows Dusty flexability to rotate forward and mid always kicks the ball forward and generally to a dangerous spot.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
No I really don't believe that is the only reason. Before Dangerfield arrived he was getting much more midfield time. I really think he's not getting midfield time now as he is more valuable atm as a strong bodied forward which includes making pathways for other forwards. Whether it ends up working well is another question, but it me it is reasonably clear why he isn't getting more midfield time.

I think he's been great for our midfield balance
Does some quality things

This. I watched the West coast replay today. I agree he wasn't as offensively damaging as he could be but he was still important at crashing packs, nice dishes and popped up to do something when required (the pick up at the death on the wing is an example).

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
not sure why people are so down on him? Caddy allows guys like Martin, Cotchin and others more flexibility and space and that is evident by their performances. I'm not saying it's all because of Caddy - and yes he could improve - but he's playing his role in a team that is showing some balance.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
clearly the opposition are worried about him, so are letting Martin and Cotch run free.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy
Have to laugh, we pay a pick in the mid 20's for someone who gets 18-20 touches and a goal game. Terrible.
We draft someone at six and they have one good week of 20 touches and there is bouquets of platitude thrown around.
Stay crazy PRE, stay crazy.
