based on current form Id have to agree but I think he will get there.

    Caddy is a big bodied midfielder who has decent pace and a decent tank with good disposal and can hit the scoreboard. Would definitely take him for Martin or pick 13 & Bail. If we baulk at getting him because we don't want to get rid of Bail I would be extremely [censored] off with the club it would be another massive blunder.

    I think people overrate draft picks, a lesson I would have thought we'd have learnt of recent times. Caddy went pick 7 two years ago and has had a couple of good games - there is nothing to indicate pick 13 this year is going to be a vastly better player and Caddy already has two years in the system.

    If its one thing our club is crying out for it is midfielders who can kick goals. Jones is currently our only one (but not multiple goals a game) and hopefully Trengove will get there too. Caddy can kick multiple goals a game which is something we could sorely use.

    If picks are over rated then dont use them to argue a players worth. Fact is Caddy had an average year/career at GC. Had "a few" good games. Not worth pick 13 in thsi market. maybe our second rounder IF Viney is pushed at pick 3

    But that's what I'm saying. If he was rated a pick 7 two years ago then how can we make the assumption the player rated as pick 13 this year is going to be a much better prospect. Caddy hasn't dominated games but he has had a couple of very good games playing in a very poor side. He is also the exact type of player we need and has a couple of years in the system something a potential pick 13 would not. Would I rather get Bennell or Swallow from GC? Of course but theyre not on the market and if they were it would cost much more than pick 13.

    Cats are now interested in Caddy. Says they also have plenty of cash. Bombers also still keen. I think we would be long odds.

    To do the trade you gotta have the picks and the Cats (pick 15+) and Bombers (pick 30+) don't. So who are they sending to GC in exchange for Caddy?

    From memory, Cats have a least one compo pick from Ablett left. GC, who are having to reduce their list substanially and already have O'Meara on the books, may be much more interested in banking a compo pick than having another first round pick.

    Have Geelong activated that pick for this year?

    They may have but I believe clubs had to nominate early in the year (March I think) to activate their compo pick for the draft later in the year. They have until 2014 to use the pick if it was from a GC Suns recruitment from memory.

    Isn't he OOC. So trade may not be on the table.

    He may be OOC but not a FA so he goes where GC trade him to.

    I would think a pick 15-20 would more than suffice

    Not if Melbourne, Richmond, Carlton or St. Kilda are willing to offer their first round picks.

    There is no doubt Essendon want him but they have nothing to trade so it is unlikely they'll get him.

    A hypothetical 3-way trade could occur with Geelong offering up picks, Tippett going to GC and Caddy to Geelong. Still think we should go hard for him though.

    We can offer better picks than Geelong and more probable Adelaide will accept them. We can easily offer the best win-win-win deal.

    Obviously, Kelvin Lawrence will go for a number 2 pick if GWS offer pick 1. I think he is worth no where near pick 12 on current form.

    He had a year remaining on his contract last year.

    Bombers can only trade for him - their first pick will be used for Daniher and Hird said he wanted to keep as many players as possible.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
