Josh Caddy

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

assuming we make finals would have him in the side in a second.We will need his bustling.IMO he reminds me of bustling Billy Barrot,shame he cant do drop kicks.
 
Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

My seat was right next to the cameramen directly behind the punt road goals on level 2. Straight after the resulting goal from Caddy's blunder, he looked at me & said in 30years of filming I have never seen that happen, I told him it will probably happen again before the game is over. Apart from that he has been consistently solid. Using his size & strength well & certainly playing his role

Lol he attempted on yesterday :hihi
 
Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

Seems a very solid contributer to me, most weeks it's 20 touches and a goal, probally another player who'd benifit from a second key forward .
 
Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

Unlike Kane Lablett this guy is just a role player.

Watch the replay does a stack of inside grunt work. With all our outside runners his grunt work is really needed

Grunt work is close. Just replace the "gr" with a "c"

Ceiling is Jackson.

He's already a better player than Jackson. Not that I rate Caddy super highly.

Better than Dan?
Will never win a B&F. Never.
Over 22 odd games Jackson played better than any other team mate. Can you say Caddy will do that? If not he's not a better player than Jackson and the history books will show that

Dan was a superior athlete with great fitness but one of the dumbest decision makers going around.

He had an out of the box season in a mediocre career. Really it's a toss up. Not a high bar.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

true Jimmy, but the point is that Caddy is doing something with his bulk that not many on our list can.

Caddy can only hope to be half the player that Lablett is
 
Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

I watched the replay last night. Apart from the scrubbed kick Caddy had an excellent first half in particular. Did a lot of work in close and won a lot of contests.

Was very important in what was difficult conditions and a very contested game
 
Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

Everyone seems to be judging Caddy on the basis tat he's a mid not getting 30 possessions a game.

He's playing a role, and imo playing it pretty well.
 
Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

As Scoop said in the Castagna thread, Caddy is playing as a key forward and a midfielder and even played ruck on the weekend. He is shouldering a manful load. A medium playing as a big man.

If Aldi sold footballers (they're down the middle aisle, in between the cast iron ware and dutch profiteroles), they would be like Josh Caddy.

Caddy is like those New Zealand slabs of beer you get for $32 at Aldi. They taste alright and you'll drink em at home by yourself, but youre kinda embarrassed when your mates pop round for a beer and thats all you have.

Re: Welcome to Tigerland - Josh Caddy

About 50/50 for and against.

A better basher and crasher than Arnot...??

Agree, I've just watched the first half again (first time watching the replay after attending the match). He was excellent. He does so much of physical work of footy: bumps, shepherds, smothers, spoils - as does McIntosh.

You need big strong footballers who own their space. There's two.
