Josh Caddy

[Tigermad2005]

I’m hearing Caddy is struggling with personal stuff, won’t be at the club next season. I hope it’s not true

Not the white stuff?

 

[toothless]

How many years does he have left on his contract?

Not the white stuff?

Been hanging around Al too much.

 

[Don’t Argue]

Not the white stuff?

Last year Josh was so focussed on football that he had a year off from alcohol. He is the last person that should be linked to that stuff.
Let’s not jump to silly conclusions

 

[tigerlove]

Maybe he's struggling psychologically with not getting back into the side. May have thought after his first VFL game back where he dominated that he'd be an automatic in.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

He has a speed issue, but not the pharmaceutical kind.

 

[French Tiger]

How many years does he have left on his contract?

I think when he came across it was a 4 year deal. So i would assume at the end of 2020 he would be out of contract.

Correct OOC 2020

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

He'll be 28 when he starts his next contract, so he should still have some good footy ahead of him. Leadership and grunt for a developing side if he can't win his spot back with us.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Can he reinvent himself again if not playing forward? He’s never really proven himself as an effective midfielder at AFL level. Definitely at the crossroads given what some of our youngsters are showing. Especially on the dollars I expect he’s on. His best work has been awesome for us but a 4th club wouldn’t surprise if his usage has expired.

Yeah, if youre being firm you'd try and move him on. Think we got what we wanted out of him.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Not playing VFL, but also not an emergency?

 

[TigerPort]

The Suns could do with someone of Caddy's bulk and aggression.

Rather he stayed with us though.

 

[saigon tiger]

Im surprised with the trade Caddy talk. He has been a bit off this year but is a very good, tough and reliable contributer when he is up and about. Still best 22 for me no doubts what so ever. Hopefully back soon!

 

[tigerlove]

Correct, he's not playing any level of footy this week.

Conditioning phase? Mini preseason? Suggests he’s in our best 22 - obviously just getting his body right.

Someone said he may be having personal issues, if so hopefully nothing too serious. Otherwise he must be struggling with an injury as he's only just back from injury so it would be unusual not to be playing at least VFL as he has done the last two weeks.

I think the penny is starting to drop that this is the case.
All this talk of re-tooling as a mid or half-back is simply coaches trying to get some late career flexibility into a guy that has cruised around the high half forward line for a living, purely for our own short term 2019 flag purposes.
He's now back-up for our taller forwards, and about third in line should another position open up mid or back.
Josh has been superceded by Tom.
These things happen.

Way too early to put him out to pasture IMO.Will be needed to win the flag this year.

In for Cotch next week?
