AFL Player #30: Nate Caddy - reunited with best mate Kako

Glad we have drafted Tsatas and Caddy that both have match changing qualities like stoppage burst and excitement up forward. The last piece i think we are missing is a livewire small forward that can kick bags of snags and apply pressure. Gresh is a good upgrade and stop gap but potentially need a little more juice.

Love the upside both Caddy and Tsatas have. Contrast the safer pick in Hobbs nicely. I want to see Tsatas improve his tank before I get too excited though. If that’s a slow burn it will be sometime before he can be trusted following the ball around without being a defensive liability

Aren't they Davey's x 2 to fill that need?

Jayden is meant to be that kind of player, Alwyn Jnr more a high-half forward / outside midfield type than a true small forward.

That's exactly what Collingwood fans were like with Moore and Daicos. Changed absolutely nothing.

We've been hyping up Bewick since he was 13

Was about to post the same.

Haven't heard much on how Jayden tracking but Alwyn a bit disappointing.

“Essendon was eyeing forward Nate Caddy, who the Bombers ranked in their top five players, and the Cats knew they could take O'Sullivan a spot back as well. So the first ever live trade for a top-10 pick (the Giants and Crows deal) was quickly followed by the second as Essendon executed the move up, choosing Caddy ahead of Tasmanian James Leake, O'Sullivan and Koltyn Tholstrup.”

"West Coast had a final dip by using its future first-round pick to tempt clubs while Caddy was on the board, also knowing his tight relationship with Reid."

Operation Harley underway. Offer him 1.5 million next year and the premierships will role in.

Interesting article. So Hawks could’ve slid back a couple of spots for a future first and picked Curtin. I’m surprised they didn’t take Curtin ahead of Watson

not surprised, Hawks have had some very poor delisting, trade and draft decisions in recent times

‘Wow’: Bombers’ top pick cleans up veteran, leaves teammates ‘nervous’ to send Rd 1 message

TLDR; Lloyd won’t be our all time leading goalkicker by 2030

What are their disappointing draft decisions in recent times?

Getting Ty Vickery from Richmond. Trading a top ten draft pick and a future second round pick for Jaeger O’Meara.

With Merrett glowing praise I like the kid already! We needed more mongrel at the club.

if Nate is putting people on edge, im all for it. This kid sounds like he's one of those rare ones who will change the culture of a club by doing. Something we haven't had for a VERY long time.

eDPS what was caddy like defensively? runs, chases, harrasses, tackles? that's probably going to be what holds him back from playing a dozen games in 2024.

 

[DERO]

the kid has been on the list for 5 minutes.

Yeah

But what a five?

Pretty good I feel he has some presence physically at ground level, his attack is honestly better with tackling than it is with his marking.

They’re trades… not draft decisions
