AFL Player # 6: Jye Caldwell

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2028
My Boy Draft 2025: Pick 4, Lore

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Has some brain fades like young Langford. Doesn't mean he won't mature through it though. Had a great game overall.

[Learntopray]

Almost all his clangers are left foot accross his body. Gets no power through the ball and has limited control of direction on them. That should be fixable.

 

[frodos gardener]

That bullet pass to Weideman was sensational.

 

[Darealrath]

Not sure if it was all game but I noticed he was minding Prestia at a few stoppages. Did anyone notice if he was running with him all game? Prestia was very quiet with only 11 touches so if he's contained him like that on top of what else he did that's a massive performance.

I would be surprised.

Didn’t notice, I’ll be honest, but Prestia has been a bit of a non factor for a lot of the year. In a game where we didn’t have Parish, setterfield or Shiel, and pretty much only had merrett, Caldwell and Hobbs, I doubt we were assigning him to someone like Prestia. Would imagine that is simply Caldwell’s natural way of playing midfield, to seek out body contact and positioning with opponents.

 

[BrunoV]

Midfielder plays midfield and gets 30 possessions...

Looked like he really wanted to hit Taranto

there was a frustrating yet awesome play in the 3rd i think, where he was streaming at the fwd 50 and instead of trying to stop and sidestep the richmond player(s?), he opted to try go through them at pace.
They held him up, but i did lol. Don't coach that out of him.

 

[Zach Package]

I can't be the only one that didn't think he was capable of going out and getting 30+ as a midfielder

Not to say he can't have a big impact, but I was pretty skeptical of him being able to accumulate at volume.

 

[Happyskeret]

Taken pick right before

Well there you go I did not know that.

Well you thought that becuase there was no afl evidence that he could accumulate up until last weekend.
You could put it down to him finally overcoming his hamstring issues and it actually looks like he’s a very good runner now. So happy with his performance. Even the muck up in the back half that resulted in a goal. He shrugged it off and got on with it. Love love

 

[Keystone agony]

Is also probably one of the only times or very few where he has had been onball and not doing a run with role

Also we were possession heavy, still very impressed to see the amount of disposals

One word, Package.

System.

That midfielders get a lot of the ball because they play midfield?

Including Elliot Kavanagh?

Doesn't everybody?

Nick O’Brien managed to accumulate stats……

 

[dank420_]

Yes I know, Yes I know.

 

[Maxabillions]

They should put me in the midfield. I’d get 30 touches a game obviously cos I’d be in the midfield. And I’d do it for only $150k.

If you are one of, what I estimate at, 200 amateur players who played underage rep footy as a midfielder between 2012 and 2020, and is still fit, but who is not currently on an AFL list you almost certainly would (get 30 possessions).
