Defensively doing K-Mac’s role, but with offensive upside. Building nicely!

Not sure he has the endurance necessary to play that role against high quality wings. The thing about KMac for his limitations is that his primary role is to take out his guy as the available switch.
Yeah... be interesting to see how Josh goes when head to head with Gaff, Cripps and Jetta etc ... be earning his keep this week.
Yet Caddy has been chosen over KMac. I think Tigers have been able to adequately curtail the switch without KMac. If he was a bit more skilled then there wouldn't be an argument. The beauty is, if Caddy doesn't perform adequately KMac is still there as a depth player to slot straight back in. That's the great thing about the Tigers these days, immense depth to cover injuries and poor form and to keep pressure on those who are in the 22.
Caddy is another I'm not completely sold on yet as being part of our best 22. He's a solid footsoldier now but not much else.
Kmac is putting pressure on with a fine game in the VFL last weekend.

Caddy is more creative. He was good in some tight situations. More likely to take a pack mark too. I liked his involvements this week.
Caddy has very sure hands which is needed in high pressure games
Disagree TOO. Although he didnt have a lot of possessions I thought he had a very good game. He is just a smart footballer. His inside work yesterday was good.
Yep.
Get's another game in my opinion.
If it came down to him versus KMac or Markov or Townsend I would pick Caddy.
He will have to have a big pre-season if he wants to stay in the best 22 in 2020.
May have already given the Tigers his best.
Agree he's playing the role well and I didn't think KMac had a great game in the VFL, did little for most of the game as a backman but did well in the last quarter. Caddy stays.
Did a couple of nice things & was ok. Bare minimum IMO.
My main concern is having too many of the same type.

He creates quite a match-up issue when he drifts forward. If Dusty's not giving them headaches there, Caddy can too. He can also play the Townsend 2017 role.
He doesn't need that many possessions to give us a point of difference across the park.

Thought the same. He's got a bit better each week, not in form yet but could provide some important contributions at the right time. Stays in for mine.
I’m not as excited. He has gone past his 2 year expiry date.
Looks all at sea on the wing.
He Got me angry when he had options and had a shot from 50 and where nowhere near it.
He is our next McIntosh. Will be squeezed out of our best 22 by the end of 2020.
