Were you blindfolded when you spent time with him? Because that would explain a lot.
No actually he was fine. Played outstanding footy after his return.

Having a drink isn’t the main concern with him.Elite by foot and exceptional reader of the play.
First kid to have a drink which obviously is a huge concern

Then he will be lucky to play 10 gamesHave actually.
It depends. I actually think he's a 200 gamer if he pulls his head in. If not, it'll be a very short career and embarrassing for the Saints and himself.
St Kilda had to delete comments on their social media posts last night because they were not all welcoming.

G'day Arie!Yeah nah. More than fine.
If Curtin was still on the board at your pick, would you have taken Caddy or Curtin?Glad we traded up to grab Caddy.
Really did not want to add another KPD in O'Sullivan to our list.

Rather than take Caddy in this draft?I would have traded Curtin to West Coast for their future first.
Me too. That seems a golden opportunity.I would have traded Curtin to West Coast for their future first.

It still seems odd the wce couldn’t get a taker for that F1Probably. I reckon that future first is likely a top 3 pick.
Having said that I am not unhappy with Caddy.

Honestly, Curtin seems to have not put a foot wrong in preseason so far and he is a mountain of a man - doing the wrestling drills paired with Darcy Fogarty who is a big unit himself. Sidesteps in traffic will be a feature as he does it regularly in the drills to date (and his draft highlight reel shows it off too). Left peg is excellent and he reads the play very well.I agree. Curtin as a flight risk made it even stranger.
Next year's draft is midfield heavy as well so would have suited a team like Adelaide to have another dip.
Probably. I reckon that future first is likely a top 3 pick.

I thought Caddy was bit of a reach/taken higher than originally projected ?
Mind you said the same thing last year about Tsatas and I think Essendon made the right call there (think he will have a breakout season in 2024)
It'll be interesting to see how those 3 key position players (Caddy, O'Sullivan and Curtin) end up. Most of the discussion predraft had Curtin clearly the best of the 3 and then toss up Caddy and O'Sullivan.I reckon Caddy went where I expected (8-12) depending on who had what picks.
He fit our need so I did not expect him to get past us (and in the end we traded up 1 to get him)
I suspect the key difference comes down to flexibility. Caddy is a key forward and that is where he is most likely to develop. O'Sullivan was always a KPD. Curtin can play forward, back AND in the middle. From a crows perspective, we are keeping our fingers crossed we have nabbed ourselves a taller Jordan Dawson type player.It'll be interesting to see how those 3 key position players (Caddy, O'Sullivan and Curtin) end up.

Adelaide clearly agreed with public opinion. But the fact they didn't have to break the bank to trade up suggests it wasn't that clear cut and there wasn't a massive bidding war for Curtin.
GWS clearly weren't sold on Curtin and mentioned O'Sullivan as one they were interested in on their draft video but traded back to get Gotthard and Leake instead which were the other 2 they liked.
Essendon clearly rated Caddy well higher than O'Sullivan hence the trade. Geelong clearly preferred O'Sullivan hence the trade.
From the outside it looks like there were pretty significant disagreements in how teams rated those 3.
