AFL Player # 6: Jye Caldwell - Such an attacking weapon

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 2, eth-dog

I really hope they don’t reduce his midfield minutes once Parish comes back.

You mean when Parish earns his place back via the vfl don't you?

fitting in Parish and Setterfield (and hopefully Hayes) into Last Weeks side while not becoming too small is going to be a real challenge.

Hopefully Jye's okay. Keays only pinned one arm but didn't control the tackle. Had knocked the ball away before he held the tackle as well, so it could be suggested he didn't need to grab Jye at all.

Anyway, who knows? I don't.
Fingers crossed it's not too serious.

I liked how richo spent the next 15 minutes talking about how the tackler couldn't have done anything better - that was quality commentating

 

[Megabattimus]

Hope he's okay. Losing him was massive and swung the game to the Crows.

Cute Adelaide player gets off dangerous tackke

If that's the only action he could have taken then what was Wiedemann meant to do.
Firstly he could have taken him with the ball. His intent was to hurt him and it worked to our detriment

The AFL stinks and the mrp stinks. Never seen such a mess in 50 years of watching afl
Game is now unwatchable
I reckon we are going to end up with a game of Aus tag on ****ing steroids in a few years

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Jye had a quiet start last night but worked through that, and by the time he was injured he was motoring. So was the team. It was so unfortunate him going down and that's when we lost our momentum. We could not get going after that and looked pretty ordinary from that point.

I find it difficult to separate my team allegiance from the sensible notion of doing everything to protect player welfare. It’s the right thing to do, having him properly assessed, but the reality is that he was our most influential player in the last qtr and he was taken out of the game despite being fine. The vagaries of how to strategise this also worked against us. 20 minutes off essentially meant 25 minutes because the club had to make a choice between being a player down or having a fresh player in. Technically, Caldwell was able to come back on with around 5 minutes to play if he wasn’t subbed out. So instead we had Goldy rather than Caldwell for the climax of the game and we lose at the death.

We’ve had a perfectly fit player taken from us at the most important part of the game just to be sure to be sure. If it happened like this in a GF it’d ruin me. But it’s the right thing to do…

This is why the sub rule sucks.

6 on the bench he might have still played last 5 minutes.

Get rid of the sub, worst thing ever.

Totally agree with your sentiments. This is why they need independent doctors assessing. Some teams are turning a blind eye to their players getting a head knock and getting a competitive advantage from it. Dawson copped a savage but accidental shoulder to the head from Caddy and kept playing for a bit and even set up a goal with his elite kicking. He should have been straight off - he was senseless for a fair bit on the ground, anyone could see that was a fierce blow copping the point of a shoulder straight to the head.

Fingers crossed that Jye is ok and won't miss a game.
