Merrett is aiming to play up to ten more years
Interestingly the club just posted a video on FB of a goalkicking challenge between Caddy and Langford, and Caddy shanks a few more than I'd like to see off the side of his boot on some pretty regulation shotsThere are shit kicks and then there are players with flaws in their action.
Anyway Caddy does not have a flaw in his action so we do not have to discuss it in this thread![]()
He was up until his turnover on the weekend.Ridley must be close
Yeah I was surprised they posted thatInterestingly the club just posted a video on FB of a goalkicking challenge between Caddy and Langford, and Caddy shanks a few more than I'd like to see off the side of his boot on some pretty regulation shots
all of the players you've named are capable of drilling the ball 50+. doesn't matter if they miss a target, the point is they the ball there very quickly. their kicking actions are clearly good. tsatas's is clearly not (he can't kick it more than 30).Most of the best mids in the game over the past 20 years are shit kicks. The exceptions being Ablett and Bont. Fyfe, Martin, Judd, Danger are all very poor kicks. It's not the be all and end all. Tsatas hasn't had a full pre season yet. He's still a teenager and working on his flaws.
I personally would not be happy if he worked out to be a skinny Sheil.all of the players you've named are capable of drilling the ball 50+. doesn't matter if they miss a target, the point is they the ball there very quickly. their kicking actions are clearly good. tsatas's is clearly not (he can't kick it more than 30).
it's also irrelavant to tsatas because he has demonstrated none of the inside power game that made fyfe and judd such guns without kicking. also dangerfield is one of the most explosive athletes the game has seen.
why do people keep inserting all these amazing players into the tsatas thread lol? at this stage wouldnt we be happy if he worked out to be err, i dunno, a skinny shiel?
**** me, this is ridiculous.all of the players you've named are capable of drilling the ball 50+. doesn't matter if they miss a target, the point is they the ball there very quickly. their kicking actions are clearly good. tsatas's is clearly not (he can't kick it more than 30).

great but those are not the kind of attributes you can only find at pick 5. we already have parish and shiel who do the same thing.**** me, this is ridiculous.
He's shown that he has extremely good hands (both in retrieving the ball and dishing to advantage) and the ability to break out the front of stoppage unlike anybody on our list apart from Shiel.
He's 19 ****ing years old.
Durham gets through the front of the stoppage pretty regularly.**** me, this is ridiculous.

Genuine question, how many VFL games do you watch? Because he does it regularly at that level.Durham gets through the front of the stoppage pretty regularly.
Have never seen Tsatas get through the front of a stoppage. Keep hearing people talk about it, never seen it.
You can be forgiven for thinking it's the Tsatas thread. Great post though.why do people keep inserting all these amazing players into the tsatas thread lol? at this stage wouldnt we be happy if he worked out to be err, i dunno, a skinny shiel?
Looks like I voted for Humphrey. I don’t think I would’ve been staunchly against Tsatas though. If I knew his kicking was so poor it would’ve been a different story.
Hopefully he can find a place in the AFL, but it’s bloody hard to make it with poor foot skills.
It amazes me so many people here didn't know he was a poor kick pre draft.
…because Dodo is the master of trading up.i’m no draft whiz but it boggles the mind how he fell to us.
I aimed for the Tsatas thread but it landed in the Caddy thread. I'm not sure how...This is the Caddy thread. Let's keep the Tsatas stuff out of here. Thanks.
Don't put too much expectation on this guy. doubt he'll make a huge difference this year or even next. As long as he keeps competing, he'll be fine. Young tall. Get excited but he won't set the world on fire for a while.
