The Josh Caddy Thread

Featured Replies

I think we should have a real crack, very explosive player, we have Viney coming, i reckon its a no brainer..

 

Warming to this Kid after doing some research last night. Sees himself as a more inside mid who wants to really work on his outside skills. Tall enough and will soon have the body to match it. For our lesser compo pick whatever that is dictated to be then have a dip.

Not for 2 compo picks though. Not only would we lose the compo but GC would gain them which we have to bear in mind as well. Could we get 2 players next year at around pick 15 in addition to Viney that would be a better gain than getting Caddy?

 

 

Compo plus Petterd?

I like Petterd but I'd probably take that trade. Gotta make sure you dont unsettle the playing group when using players like commodities for sale though.

Brisbane are in mediation with the Bombers and Gold Coast. If we are in the ear of Brisbane saying that we are keen, they will go in to bat for us if the Mombers can't agree to things.

Big hour and a bit to go...


Caddy's future is currently the subject f mediation, with a third-party trying to broker a deal between the Dons and the Suns. Craig Hutchison reported on Trade Week Radio that Melbourne is in there pitching as well.

Does this mean we are part of the mediation or are we dealing with this matter independantly?

Schwabby has entered the building!!

i got no idea how all this works, Terry Wallace suggesting Caddy would be top 5 in this years draft,

Which is nice but he went 7 last year so any natural improvement would do this

Shows that it WILL take a good offer you would imagine

I love that we're just screwing everything up for everyone with last minute deals. Good one Melbourne! :)

Is a smart tactic, come in with a better bid late, make the other team look unreasonable, give them little time to work out a response to our offer. WIN


This in from "Trades as they happen" on the AFL website http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/125176/default.aspx

"UPDATE, 12.20pm: Melbourne defender Matthew Warnock has joined Gold Coast as part of a three-way trade deal that also involved the Brisbane Lions.

The deal saw the Lions give pick No.52 in the NAB AFL National Draft to the Demons.

In return, the Lions gained Queensland zone player Dayne Zorko (he was the captain of QAFL team Broadbeach in 2011) and pick No.47 from the Suns.

Gold Coast gained the Lions' second round pick (No.34).

Warnock will strengthen Gold Coast's defence in the club's second AFL season.

The 27-year-old has played 55 games for Melbourne since making his debut in 2006."

I had hoped that we'd use him to get Caddy, and I admit to my heart jumping once reading the word Gold Coast and Warnock in the same sentence but it seems he's gone now for pick 52. Should we throw that pick back at them? or maybe we need to get rid of someone who we don't really want to lose. Depends how badly we want Caddy. Maric and Bater are still on the table and Pencil is as good as gone.

Melbourne finally throwing some weight around during trade week. Love it. Not enough to throw two first round picks at Caddy though. They can have our second compo pick and Maric if they want. Bate too.

I love that we're just screwing everything up for everyone with last minute deals. Good one Melbourne! :)

Even if it just forces Essendon to up their offer for him, it's win. Hate that club.

Someone above mentioned a compo + Petterd. I'd do that deal as much as I like Rickybobby.

I know...its beautiful isnt it. Might jsut have more than a chance at landing him too. We can trump Essendon. , that would be satisfying in itself :)

Even if we don't get Caddy we can still make Essendon up the ante in terms of what they offer.

But it would almost be worth getting Caddy just to see Bomberblitz go in to an absolute meltdown.


I hope melbourne screw bombers into paying more...will make clark look cheap at pick 12.

I hope we get him..lol even better

Right now, it appears that Essendon and Melbourne are working hard at securing the services of Caddy, we'll keep you updated! #tradeweek

After the public kicking we received over Scully, Schwab and Co must be loving getting back in the ring and throwing some weight around.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
