Josh Caddy

Going by the Cadds article in 'that' website, it looks like Dimma primed his role to be a LMID for Friday's game but without the run towards the goal.

More of a sweeper role. Interesting.....just hope everything we try works against the Scum.

It's not an if with Caddy. It's when. The role is there being trailed right now.

Reckon Short goes out Caddy comes in and plays the same role but more as an interceptor.

Some Jeremy Howe/James Sicily hybrid. The manic handball makes the pace we have.

I think Caddy is at a really interesting juncture. The limited preseason has not helped.

Agree with those who say he can't be a full time mid. However I think he can be impactful in bursts in the middle.

Definitely a more dangerous forward, but how does he fit in with Lynch? And is Jack, Tom and Caddy robbing us off our pace? And has Bolton taken his midfield minutes? It's up to the coaching staff to answer these questions, and at the moment it's hard to argue for him to be in the best 22.

The only way I see Caddy playing up front is as a permanant mid marking playing in the 50 as a second option to Lynch.

Jackmond to go further up the ground and play HB through HF and becomes our Tom Lynch (Crows) roving forward target man.

The two rucks then change with each other off the bench.

Caddy pinch hits through the middle with Dusty / Edwards etc and swaps forward.

this idea is the only way forward with Caddy. he's no Mid, and the forward line is complete..
use his grunt in the back half.

I’d agree with giving Caddy the spot that Short has........for now.

Shorty is a bit lost with Houli in the team. They are both one trick ponies who glide past looking to receive and distribute. Problem is, Houli does it so much more often, which leaves Short without enough opportunities. He is even less defensive than Houli is, making him a risk in a more defensive role.

Put them both in the team and we don’t have enough lockdown defenders. Caddy can take a good mark and play a defensive role as well as assisting Houli and Vlastuin to distribute the ball. Worth a shot.

It will be interesting if Pickett steps up. He sounds like exactly the player missing in our backline. If he comes good, we could really be in business. Unfortunately, he may run out of time.

Experimenting with Caddy makes sense. He can always swap with Siddy if neither is having an impact.

Can’t see how Vlastuin and Caddy can co exist in the same backline, especially in today’s need for manic forward pressure

I would like to use his grunt in a trade for another midfielder.

Bailey Dale hasnt got a game nearly all year till yesterday

Doggies could probably use Caddy up forward.

The doggies give us a 2nd rounder

Vlastuin has been playing great. Good pressure, gained over 499 metres on weekend. What's the issue with his backline play?

Howe/Sicily have a huge athletic advantage Caddy does not. No thanks.

I would expect caddy to play loose , his defensive pressure ratings are always right up there and he tackles to , don’t worry about that . I’ve always thought his midfield work was a little underrated , ball use pretty good , curious to see how this unfolds , I agree shorty spot is anything but sure in the side, reckon kmac comes in first though

 

[Tigers of Old]

Caddy to the backline? Hmm seems pretty late to be experimenting with the best backline in the competition. Not convinced.

 

[craig]

Caddy wont be going to the backline.

Nothing, Vlastuin’s playing well. Having Vlastuin and Caddy who obviously is far inferior as a defender inside the defensive 50 is far too slow

 

[eddazol]

he was working hard yesterday

don't know that he's a forward or a mid either. ..
