Think whoever gets him will get a player. He did miss two games leading up to the Championships because of illness and his highlight reel may have suffered accordingly. What I like about him is his preparedness to get stuck in, earn the contested ball, tackle, shepherd, etc. Maybe he won't be a forward but could run through the midfield like Cripps? That's an enticing prospect.

I take it back about Caddy.  His first 60 seconds are particularly special.

 

Jeez that's one of the worst video packages ever assembled. He dropped more uncontested marks than Chris Dawes! Kick fell short from 40 metre set shot again too. He's got aggression at the man, but he's got some serious work ahead of him to make it IMO.

It does however show than young Kynan Brown is a goer and could be a steal as a late father son pickup.

O'Sullivan looks good - is he good enough for our pick 6? I reckon Adelaide may take him at 10.

Perfect. During interviews we’ll get the idea in his head about coming home and then get him to request a trade home when Petty submits his Crom request.

Yes and I don't concur with those who think he's athletic.

He's a lumberer with poor pace, i.e. slow.

I was with you at the start of your post about Curnow, but this last part is very different to my observations of Caddy. 

Curnow slipped and I think you're right that it was very little to do with the drink driving and almost entirely about questions regarding whether he could play key forward at AFL level with his size ("only" 192cm) or whether he'd have to be a midfielder/flanker. Ironically, the exact issues people are discussing with Caddy. 

As for talking about Caddy's athleticism, I think you're completely wrong. Caddy is a very athletic and powerful player, which are some of his real strengths. He jumps at the ball, is strong at ground level and strong defensively. He is a powerful kick over distance and wins contests that are very difficult to win. Like Curnow he plays taller because he's got long arms. I think you've misjudged his ability because you've started at the wrong spot with his power and athleticism. 

Boy I hope we get something in between these two assessments if we get Caddy.

I want Curtin but Caddy if not.

Didn't take a solid grab in the first 60 seconds

Might have been some irony in there

10. Nate Caddy

Geelong

Northern Knights, 193cm Forward
The Cats have also been linked to hard-running wingman Darcy Wilson, but marking forward Caddy would be hard to pass up if he’s still on the board. Melbourne also has interest in Caddy, but if it takes Leake then there’s every chance Caddy gets through to the Cats. Given Geelong’s ageing key forward stocks – Jeremy Cameron is 30 and Tom Hawkins is 35 – it makes sense to bring in some new blood. Recruiters believe Caddy has the potential to be a Charlie Curnow-type in time given his aerial abilities, power and strength.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
