im taking the long straw with this one. Caddy looked gassed at times with repeat efforts needed he was simply unable to provide.

Hes still a puppy needing to play a mans role. If he ends up in the twos for prolonged periods this year, so be it. If hes still in the twos in year 3 then we should be worried

Yep - goals and a couple of grabs show the talent.

Barass would have enjoyed his time on Caddy though.

May sound silly but a huge positive for mine is he actually physically looks like a KPF out there. Sometimes guys get drafted and when you see them on an AFL field it becomes quite clear that its unlikely they'll ever be a genuine KPF due to lack of size/athleticism.

Funny that they had him on the socials practising that exact same flat footed snap from the same spot on the same side and then he goes and pulls it out in a game and nails it.

Wait, are you trying to tell me that practice makes perfect?!

Dermott Brereton discusses Nate on SEN today.

Why Brereton thinks Essendon got a draft steal in Caddy after breakout game

“He's going to cause some serious headaches.”

Wouldn't be surprised if Jhye Clark got it

Barrass is also a gun key defender caddy is a kid

I’d say archer likely

he’s a lock for the most stupid name nom

 

[eth-dog]

I’d say archer likely

After 8 touches? I'll admit I didn't see the game but that's low for a RS nom

Absolutely bathed Bailey fritsch, he’s a lock down defender. People are talking up caddy who also only had 8 touches

Fair enough. Also Caddy had 11 and 2 goals. I still think Clark gets it

Not as good as 9 disposals and 2 goals

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Fair enough. Also Caddy had 11 and 2 goals. I still think Clark gets it

Clark had 20 possessions and 5 clearances but went at 40% and had as many clangers as effective disposals (8).

Logan Morris - bris is the RS nom for round 15

 

[MattF185]

Hope he keeps his spot in the side for this week. Bringing Goldstein back will send the wrong message.

Yep.

Caddy will be a gun, but I'm just saying despite the highlights he will take a while to meaningfully contribute across a game.

You wouldn't think so on stats, but he played a very good game. Fritsch didn't get near it.

Hye I don't like it either.

 

[Agronomus]

If he did not injure his back and miss 4 weeks and then knock his teeth out and then miss some more VFL with illness.
It is not like he has been shooting the lights out every week in the VFL to gain some consistent week in and week out form.
The reason he has not kicked the door down is he has had several interruptions.
Name the other first year KPF who have just stepped up and played for most of the year ?

Wayne Carey?

 

[Nifft]

Wayne Carey?

Wayne Carey was a freak. One of the best players to have played in the last few decades.

Wayne Carey?

Jesus you must be young. Guy was a freak
