We are a far better team when Caddy is in the team. You can’t judge him off last weeks performance considering it was his first game back from injury. Needed another run.
And you don’t drop a bloke off one brain fade.

Horrible call by the selectors

Couldn’t agree less, on all points.

Caddy is still our best wing option. Bad Hammy so will take a few weeks to find his form again

I think there are a few facets to Josh's dropping:
  • He played *smile*
  • He did stupid
  • He's a good punching bag for the coach to use as an example
  • We're playing again in five days, then five days after that, against the flag faves.

It’s a new rule that asks for unintuitive behaviour.

what? using your intuition to work out when the umpire says 'josh, out of the way' 10 times

that your supposed to get out of the way?

Yeh, and it's only been known and understood by everyone for about 2 years. Reckon Caddy's main motive was to try and get under Rockliff's skin. Selfish and stupid.

Dimma's position would not have need any intuition

His career with us is at the crossroads if you ask me. Guy is getting dropped in the middle of a time when games are being played at a rapid rate and he has sat on the sidelines more than most. This should have been a time when we were rotating players or perhaps using Dusty as a pure fwd to give him a rest. Caddy doesnt seem capable of being any type of midfield depth anymore. Costly brainfarts. Others are catching up fast

Slightly over the top to drop Caddy for one dumb decision.
Specially when we need to get game time into him.
Either we did a Cotchin, gave him one game and then a rest
Or Dimma was really pissed off.

It took him quite a few games in the VFL last year to get fit enough for the wing. He was actually going ok before his hammy - was one of our best against Melbourne. The hammy injury set him back as it takes him a while to get run into his legs.

He'll be back.

He didn't have a great game 50 metre pens notwithstanding, but only Dimma and the gang know the truth. May yet be back before the season is over, in fact I reckon he will be.

Yeah there's surely more to it. Caddy needs games as in form he is very important to us.

I think he may have been rested due to the hammy problems, was just a good way to say he got chopped for the stupidity of the 100

best 22 for me , definitely prefer him forward especially now with his smarts, goal kicking and Ariel ability
