Good on him. Always had potential to be this good and is fulfilling it at Richmond. Probably would have ended up in as good form with Geelong but certainly the tigers suit him. Nice when a player gets the best out of himself.

Caddy is in good form, but the article in the HS today proves we weren't wrong. Caddy didn't want to play for us, and he proved it by getting his brother to drop his name to Gale. He was never going to have this season if we kept him.

Not the type of guy you want in your club.
Good luck to him. We're better off without him

Here's my red hot take: trading Josh Caddy was (probably unintentionally) a really smart bit of moneyball-esque list management. They had a player whose production they were able to replace with a player on (almost certainly) a much lower salary and they were able to get a decent asset in return. If that sounds crazy, consider this: the last six weeks of footy have been the best, easily, in Caddy's career. If you look at his numbers last year they were worse than his previous two years for the Cats, and even with his recent burst of form, his two year average AFL Player Rating is lower than that of the player who replaced him in the side, Sam Menegola (who incidentally is also having an amazing year). From a more qualitative point of view I think in acquiring Parfitt they've also picked up a player who will be really good over the long term but, maybe more importantly, adds a different dimension to stoppages compared to the straight lines guys we've already got.
Having written this Caddy will probably average 30 and 5 goals for the rest of the season and win the Brownlow but that's my take and I'm sticking to it.

The entire tigers team played themselves back to their actual level. They really have been playing above themselves, working for each other and believing that they are destined. Jack Reiwoldts half time interview where he almost guaranteed that they’d win (his attitude not exactly his words) personified that.
They may have good form, but they seem to actually believe that they are Hawthorn or Sydney or Geelong (from all our dominant years) already.
Port took on the pressure, they were not afraid of it at all. They were bigger and stronger and had ridiculous timing with their passing and execution. Their gameplan to create stoppages for Ryder to dominate was really well thought out. They really showed that the Tigers are just a good, not great, team.

Hard to stay at the top these days where skill or tactical nouse only gets you so far. Player hunger much harder to sustain and such a factor now in our ugly maul infested game. Also, as you say, some smugness creeping into tigerland Interesting to see whether they head down the Bulldogs pathway or not.
Yeah, he looks like a down hill skier.
I think he told his team mates to call him "King Caddy" this season, lol. Tickets.

Wouldn't mind this Caddy guy in our forwardline... Wonder what we would need to draft him?

ENOUGH SAID. Wells you have been embarrassed.
For a team lacking forwards you traded him and a pick
Seriously.
This deserves its own thread, as we are too often in lala land, and not acknowldging our errors.
I understand that in 3 years Parfitt might be ok, and Cockatoo might get on the field

Couldn't care less about Caddy - he was happy to go to a team that promised him midfield time and clearly couldn't less about playing for Geelong any longer & earning his run in the midfield.
The fact he no longer wanted to play in the blue & white is enough for me to say to get rid of the player - no point keeping someone who doesn't want to stay.
I'm happy to see the development of Parfitt & Narkle - two players we received from the draft picks in the Caddy trade

Decisions on existing players would come more under the coaches remit IMO. Scott plus whoever does Balme's job these days, Lloyd?

Not our beloved pick 56! Say it aint so!
Nah, Mitch Brown anyday
Richmond would accept pick 24 for Caddy surely if we offered it?
