The Josh Caddy Thread

Featured Replies

On AFL Facebook updates:

Essendon CEO Ian Robson & Recruitment manager Adrian Dodoro have walked out of the mediation with Gold Coast into the media room. Are they about to sign off the deal for Josh Caddy? Or are they going to be saying how disappointed they are that they couldn't land him at Essendon?

 
 

Dont' expect GC to have much interest in Essendon's pick 18 - our compo pick is of more interest. There's no point in bundling 36 or 39 from Bate - they just traded away 32 and 34 presumably because they won't use them

I thought you have to use a minimum of 3 selections in the ND or is it just turn over 3 players?

Their list becomes smaller every year doesn't it?

Tad confusing behaviour.

Watching for Caddy related news in #tradeweek on Twitter is like watching the closing minutes of an Ebay auction... come to think of it, maybe next year the AFL could set up an Ebay store where these trades can be conducted.

According to Barrett, Hooker and Gumbleton were thrown up by Essendon plus draft pick for Caddy but were of no interest to GC.

Gumbleton's stocks have massively nosedived. Big fail for Bombers on that No.2 draft pick.

Just a thought, i never heard it reported if we walked out at the same time?

Yeah, I couldn't find where I heard or read that - and I've clearly got it wrong - looks like they want 2 picks at least but seem to have traded all their later picks away:

1.41pm - Adelaide has received picks 27, 31 and 68 from Gold Coast for pick 24. The Suns look keen to have fewer, better draft picks, having now exchanged five picks (27,31,32, 34 and 68) for picks 24 and 26 in the past hour.

If that's the case you would think our compo pick for next year would be very attractive to them with a player or two. 5 minutes to go looks like we missed him.


God, I'm sick of not being able to atttract decent players to this Club. What has Harrington been doing all week?

(Nb. joking)

BomberBlitz is making for most amusing reading!

Haha from Astro Bomber:

"positive is those dirty lunch cutters Melbourne didn't get Caddy either."

Bwahahaha. This has made my day.

The Scum have missed their man.

Just great.

Anyone got a Bomberblitz link for that Caddy thread?


Caddy and many of his GC colleagues will be OOC at the end of next year. We've still got the 2 x 1st round compo picks.

Indeed. Essendon being too tightarsed could work in our favour - we're in the box seat if he still wants to go next year. I'm loving this business of cleaning up because of other clubs' poor strategies.

It's a great sign alone that Caddy wanted to come home. Expect he won't be the only one by the end of next year and we'll be in the box seat!

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
