Agree that he is not fast and is better as a forward. Never seen him as lazy though.

Yep. And we have lost so much two way running with Brando's departure. So many were confident he could be replaced, but elite gut runners are worth their weight in gold in Richmond's style of play.
Agree
With the shorter quarters there's more speed across the whole ground. He's not suited by that and is struggling with, it's too easy for quicker opponents to run off him.
Caddy is a dilemma.
In 2018 he was almost AA Up forward pre Lynch. Does he go forward again at the the expense of a struggling Riewoldt? Or is there no place for him in the side given he’s already been reinvented a couple of times before?
Doesn’t look right with that calf. I’d probably leave him out & pick younger legs on the wing in his place.

Caddy has been in this position before and he found a way through it - he is a big game / finals type of players that copes when young smaller bodied players tend to struggl.
Our challenge is to get enough game time into him so if we are there at the pointy end of the season, he is fit and available to be selected if form warrants.
cant see him playing this week though

On the forward line. He blocks for Jack and uses his body to break packs. Nice aggro too. Valuable finals player. (Not a winger)
If a coach cant find a place find a player as good as Caddy, then he's no good at coaching.
i reckon people are writing off a premiership wingman a little too quickly.
maybe he has lost a little pace over the summer, but i reckon he will struggle while the rest of the team is playing rubbish, and will probably again prove to be valuable when we can start winning the ball again, and pressuring the opposition when they have it to cause loose kicks that he can mop up.
of course if we continue to play the way we have been then he may not get the chance to show his value.

but yet we are 4 wins 2 losses with a draw against the pies since 2017.
Absolutely.
Very strong overhead, pretty good kick for goal (most of the time), very smart footballer and has a good dose of mongrel about him.
He's never been quick, and I'm not convinced he's the answer on the wing, but he's a good footballer fwd/mid.
Needs to be remembered he went for scans. Nobody is writing him off but he hasn't looked right.
No!
don't tell me we are playing players carrying injuries.
Can't believe it mate
Doesn't mean he can't also influence play between the arcs. Start him high half forward, then he drifts back or forward depending on where he's needed most, as play unfolds.
Was bloody good today...best game for a while. If watching the replay have a look how many times he saves us late in the game when Melbourne were starting to get on a roll.
