I dont know anything about him at all really. If you could compare him to any player in the AFL who would it be?
I'm not saying that he will be as good as him, but he reminded me of Sam Mitchell when I saw him playing against the Cats last year. We can only hope!
Heaps. Used to live at Watsonia barracks
Gee that just brought back some memories. Bought my first stereo at Brashs Greensborough Plaza.
$2,000 was a fair bit of coin in 88

Just got back from the Plaza.
Didn't see anybody there that looked like Cadds, though.
Combine Sam Mitchell and Lenny Hayes and I reckon
reserves or main army? that would have been before the government sold the land off that became viewbank.
brash's, oh the memories of the plaza.
did ya look hard enough? its like the aryan neighbourhood out that way.

Saturday morning mate, the 20-year olds were all still in bed, the place was absolutely chocka with mum and dad shoppers, couldn't move in the supermarket.
Don't know about the aryan neighbourhood these days, its pretty diverse now compared with what it used to be.
Mind you, I was born and raised in the Borough and went to school here in the '50s, so I'm looking back a fair way. Way, way pre-Plaza; in fact, even before the first supermarket.

I remember that store, last time I heard of Brash's was heading into Melbourne about 1997 and getting Steve Vai to sign my piece of shit Ibanez RG guitar.
He looked at me, looked at my guitar, smiled then processed to make it sing (literally)....happy days
I didn't wanna touch that guitar ever again.
the aryan comment was said in jest, no offence meant.
i grew up in monty myself, the area has changed quite a bit since i was a young'un in the early 90's.

Mate, I never even thought of taking offence.
It certainly used to be a very homogenous area. I don't recall even meeting any non-anglos until I moved to secondary school out of the area in the 1960s (there were a couple of part-koorie kids at Greensborough State School, but we didn't "know" they were, we just knew they were good footballers).
But the area is certainly much more diverse now.
As is Monty, of course.

I think most people rate him a tough inside getter of the footy, someone like Selwood but has better aerial ability, Suns supporters would know much better but watching some of his games on AFL.com, so stoked we got him.

The Simpson Barracks are still well and truly there, with lots of land still attached.
But they did sell off huge swags of it on the City side and around the Yallambie boundaries, all now covered with housing (some of it Army).
Saw GCS v Pies the other day.
Caddy looked OK without any Cotchin or Selwood moments. They played him on the wing for a fair bit and he did a lot of running for little reward (Collingwood were doing a job on the suns though).
In looks (ONLY) he was a dead ringer for Nathan Buckley. When he grimaced in a head shot it was uncanny.
