Player Watch #22: Josh Caddy - Retired

[Frustrated Tiger]

Will leave us with this...

 

[Vassp]

always liked Caddy had to offer, Good footballer and made his shots at goal count, really was not favoured by the footy gods. Best of luck to him.

 

[This Is Anfield]

In the early 80’s Richmond went from being a feared, aggressive, skilled and tough team to an introverted, passive and mostly poorly skilled team.
Even our better players had little mongrel in them.

… always be a Richmond man.

 

[Goshka]

Have eaten stigs with him. Great bloke.

 

[Goshka]

Do we now have a war chest

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Great tribute, so true. Forever in your debt Josh.

On SM-J250F using BigFooty.com mobile app

His in your face approach helped our road out of timidity which haunted us during 13-15 finals.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Do we now have a war chest

What about a F/S?!?!

One of my favourite ever Richmond goals 2018 dreamtime. Caddy2Shedda2Caddy

One of the best passages of play in history.

 

[smasha]

Was a big part of our 2017 premiership,enjoy retirement and polish those medals.

Congrats Josh Caddy

on a great tenure of footy.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

One of the best passages of play in history.

Yes...neck and neck with Chimp's goal against the scatters in that PF!!!

 

[tigerfan1961]

Devastated we haven’t seen the best of him these last 2-3 seasons. Was a ripping “in your face” player with tons of ability.
Enjoy your retirement Josh, you've been a star for us.

 

[beema limapep]

Do we now have a war chest

We will.

 

[k31th]

One of my favourite ever Richmond goals 2018 dreamtime. Caddy2Shedda2Caddy

This was so good... but not up to my current standards of quality gifs, so I fixed it up to be 720p goodness and much better editing applied.

 

[Tygrys]

I'll always remember his goal to get us underway in the 17' grand final. The recruitment of Lynch pretty much killed off his career early as it meant he couldn't really play as that undersized key forward anymore. Massive kudos for him to re-invent himself as a stop gap winger for a 2nd premiership. huge respect for him doing a Grigg and pulling the pin early for the better of the club.

The irony of that is that during the battle to secure Lynch one of the aces we had up our sleeve was having his two former Gold Coast teammates Prestia and Caddy. I know Prestia played a role helping to convince Lynch, as for Caddy how much I am not so sure. Just saying if he did play an active role I wonder how much he took into account that Lynch at Tigerland might be compromising his place in the team. Anyhow still grateful for his role in two premierships and wish him all the best in retirement.

 

[Tenacious T]

Loved his hardness and provided that bit of mongrel to piss oppos off.

Highlight has to be going to the Gabba to see him flush an incredible kick outside 50 from two steps in the 19 QF.
Thanks champ.

 

[TigerImposter]

Thanks for everything Josh and I hope life after retirement is just as successful as your AFL career. Unselfish player and person as well to call your retirement early. Hopefully we'll pick up

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Not the retirement I’ve been expecting

Well done Caddy! You’ve been a superb pick up!

Was a great act of selflessness from Cads though, and because of it you would imagine someone will get a shot at their afl dream in the midseason draft

 

[Sir_Loin]

Using it to pay Lynchy’s back ended contract

He had an unbelievable boot on him. This kick and the Dreamtime goal looked completely effortless.

On his talent and stage of career I’m kind of shocked he’s retiring. He’d get a game at north

 

[Sir_Loin]

Congrats Josh Caddy on a great tenure of footy.

Love the fact he’s a life member too

 

[cairo tiger]

Do we get a player onto our list extra?

 

[captain blood 17]

Tony Jewell

Ahhhh bang on. Correct.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Loved the way Cads played the game. Leaves as a 2 time premiership player and let's not forget he kicked the first goal in the 2017 drought breaker.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Yes. Best wishes to Josh.
First goal of 2017 Grand Final.
A premiership champion immortal.
Jack Riewoldt had missed a couple of goals early, and if that scoring trend had continued, we would have lost.
