Josh Caddy

[beelzebub 23,342]

This is like swapping footy cards with your friends.

This is what Ive been on about for ages. Some seem to think its a swap card game. They like keeping special ones for years too !!! lol

Its Scanlens mentality !!

I am not too bothered about picking up Caddy and think that taking someone like Oliver Wines with Viney would be a good move. Josh Toy is a guy that I actually taught and I really rate his character and skill. He is quite versatile and can play in the middle as well as down back. He has not gone well at Gold Coast mostly because he is homesick and because he has been dealing with the aftermath of coming to terms with the loss of his father. I think that he is a solid player, with a great 60 metre pinpoint kick who is much tougher than he has so far let on. He is also very mature and would not rock the boat in terms of the club culture.

We need people who are going to rock the boat culture wise at the mfc.

Josh Toy is obviously not mentaly tough enough for the sport if he gets homesick living on the gc...what happens when we have to play in WA? Does he only make himself available for home games?

Josh Caddy...PSD or hope we get a 2nd round FAcompo pick otherwise no dice

Scott Thompson left the Dees for similar reasons and is fine upstairs.

I am not saying Toy will become what Thompson has become, but let's not leap of a cliff into the Gorge of Specious Conclusions.

Pretty harsh when it was spelt out in the post above he's been coming to terms with the aftermath of losing his father. Pretty rough on a kid forced to move interstate at the age of 17 and leave his grieving family behind.

Your an idiot, homesickness is not based around one week of interstate travel but rather living away from family for 2 years, he only gets to see them every so often! A weekend away playing doesn't make him homesick.

It's pretty hard to deal with your dads death while away from family basically 24/7

What a down right stupid comment!

Why compare living permanently away from friends and family to 4 days away.

Don't rush to re-post.

I think Thompson had shown more than both Toy and Caddy when he left. I was very disappointed as a younger fan to see him go. Even back then i could see how good he was.

Irrelevant to the point I was making.

Noticed a picture on Nathan Jones instagram of him and Petterd, the latter not being in his MFC blazer but in a plain suit, maybe he has been told that he is being let go? Maybe traded to the GC with pick 13 ?

If it were for Caddy that would be a shocking deal

Not if it came with certain caveats...

[Bossdog 2,002]

Will Caddy be the next Morton?????

[Little Richard 6,262]

I agree, I meant if it were for only Caddy. What extras would you think are likely?

[jurrahcane 70]

Josh Caddy and Suns pick 42 TRADE FOR Demons pick 13 and Ricky Petterd. Get the deal done early.

Caddy is a 20yo, strong bodied mid, with good pace,long kick & loves a goal and with another pre season will be able to step up our midfield.

Add Viney & Caddy & pick 3 and 4 say Toumpas + Mayes or Wines and we have a midfield ... Jones, Trengove, Grimes, Mckenzie, Sylvia, Viney, Caddy, Toumpas, Mayes. Now we are heading in the right direction. Add one or two free agents and bang, we are looking very competitive and on the up.

Yet he does very little on game day. That trade would be a loss for us - how about we use pick 13 on one of Kennedy, Stringer or Wines?

[Jonesbag 487]

Your a shocking deal

[olisik 4,060]

Kennedy , Wines, Garlett or Stringer will all end up better players then Caddy

Please dont use pick 13 on him

[Bossdog 2,002]

Sorry.....I just don't get the love for Caddy on this thread......I think we are better off going for Wines(strong ...head over the ball midfielder)....I have only seen Caddy a few times and he has not impressed me at all....

[Little Richard 6,262]

Your a shocking deal

So you think trading pick 13 and Petterd to Gold Coast for Caddy would be beneficial to us?

If we snag a free agent like Monfries for example then yes. Petterd is finished at the dees and Caddy will become a star

Tell me why you think a guy with two seasons in the system, who at one stage this year picked up 3 disposals in a full game of footy, will be a star. Pick 13 alone would be overs for him and will be much better spent on one of the kids this year, or in a trade involving someone like Wellingham.

No offence - If Gold Coast took that I would be laughing all the way to London. If they didnt take it - I would 100% guarantee you would not have pick 3 in the draft & you would have no Caddy. oh - and you still would have Petterd.

Viney in the second round.

Viney in the second round.

Do you think Caddy is worth it in that deal?
