I see Caddy has the staggering total of 3 possessions to half-time. He virtually never gets any of the ball.

    It looks like that was his dominant half of the game too!

    Maybe his mind is in different place at the moment. He seems to get a lot of raps, I just don't see it. Has the emperor got no clothes or can he really play?

    The love for him on here is really surprising, hes probably had 2 or 3 good games this season and people are calling for us to give up pick 13 for him.

    Call me blind but I just don't see what's so good about him.

    would rather get Kennedy at pick 13 (if he's still there) than give it up for Caddy. Kennedy has just as big a kick, is a hell of a lot quicker, has much greater goal nous and can find the ball a lot easier than Caddy. The only area Caddy is supreme is in the guts, but given his current form, i'm starting to doubt that too.

    Kennedy all the way

    Yeah, I'd be really happy with Kennedy or Stringer at 13 to be honest, I think both can be great players.

    Exactly I don't get everyone wanting to give up pick 13 for Caddy?

    Port got Brad Ebert for pick 20 something last year and he's much better than

    Caddy at the moment. Seriously does everyone want us to do crap deals and

    screw ourselves up even more?

    Glad you guys aren't in our FD.

    Goldcoast would be pretty happy to take a 4-5 place drop on him from what they paid and get back into a strong draft imo.....lots of good players going around at about pick 13 this year.

    I'm saying Martin for Caddy straight swap, not pick 13 + Martin.

    Martin to the Pies for they're Pick around 18.

    Pick 18 + Bail to GCSuns for Caddy. Or Pick 13 + Petterd.

    With Boak seemingly off the table, does anyone else think we should make Caddy a priority?

    I'm a big fan. A hard, tough, skillful mid who can kick goals. Has an apprenticeship working with Bluey McKenna and Gary Jnr under his belt and should be primed as he enters his third season of footy.

    I reckon we should go hard at him and trump whatever the Bomber and other clubs can offer the Suns (bar our picks 3 and 4 of course).

    3,4, Caddy, Viney ... Now THAT would be a game-changing draft result for the MFC.

    Giving overs to GC for Caddy certainly wouldn't be a "game changer" for the MFC and if it was it'd be for the worse.

    For the past season with all the hype Caddy has been getting I'd rate him as being 'serviceable' at best and the MFC already has an abundance of 'serviceable' on the list.

    But after yesterday I'm convinced he is worse than that, bad days are bad days I get that... but 3 disposals from a full game is woeful.

    Essendon went really hard for this guy last year. That's the only reason why his name is so well known.

    If anyone said lets trade pick 13 for Luke Russell you would all say "Who the hell is that?"

    http://www.footywire...A&fid1=S&fid2=S

    OK? I'll bite, is this Luke Russell wanting to return to Melbourne then, I'm assuming you've mentioned him because he is?

  • Quote

    Russell is a GUN, if he wanted to come home, he'd have many sides keen.

    That kid can play, he'd buy and sell Josh Caddy.

    I'd be surprised if GC let Russell go, haven't heard nothing.

    Me too I have taken the time to watch him a few times this year on TV and checked the CGS game reports every week.

    IMO he is average on a good weekend.

    I have also been following him and remain underwhelmed.

    Caddy was one of only 3 players to play all 22 games this year for the Suns yet finished 17th in their B&F last night.

    Khunt finished 12th.

    I wouldn't read TOO much into B&F results - Scully finished fourth in the GWS count which, as we all know, is completely wrong when looking at the season he had.

    Caddy can play.

    I've seen him play one ripper game against Geelong and plenty of ordinary games. He was terrible against us at the G. But as I said elsewhere, I accept he played injured for much of the year and also had little support, as Rischitelli, Prestia, and Swallow for various reasons didn't have the expected output.

    Do I salivate at the prospect of getting him ? No. Would I be happy to get him ? Yes.

    I'm in the same boat in terms of getting him, and I think he would probably cost too much to get. Let the Bombers throw the kitchen sink at him.

    I don't know if I want Caddy if we lose Pick 13.

    But who knows what the stakes are...

    Isn't Luke Russell from Burnie? Melbourne is a long way from home.

    considering this years draft prospects pick 13 is massive overs...

    2nd round FA compo pick+ davis (decent bodied defender) for caddy could be be worth looking at

    but if west coast are willing to take that pick+ jetta (quick small fwd) for koby stevens i would probably take the latter

    Caddy is young and there is more to him than people are seeing. Still a gamble but if his brother is anything to go buy he, Toumpas and Viney in a midfield in two years time makes me dribble.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
