These parts put him on par with Jake Stringer last week. Lucky Jake has runs on the board.

Did Jake run out of puff as well ?

I thought Jake was a bit absent.

He was but it was the SCG and they went to Wright and Langford more.

It's probably also messing with me subconsciously because I'm used to seeing him at CBAs. Setterfield, Durham and Perkins playing through there instead has dealt that. Still, good to see we're developing them on ball. On Stringer though, I wasn't paying him a lot of attention but I don't recall him making repeat leads all night. Not sure how hard he's working.

Re: Caddy, I'd seen it written somewhere that he'd played midfield. I don't think we're likely to see him used there, but have you seen that?

No I have not seen him play midfield as such. Saw him take a couple of center bounces in the match sim once but he has been 99.9% forward.

On Stringer have you watched it a few times ? He was working hard enough offensively. He was just stuck in the congestion and Langford got the cream. Round 1 it was the other way around.
Hard to see what was wrong with an okay game where Jake kicked 3 goals from 14 possessions. The only thing I would chip him on was no tackles which was not good enough.

Watched live and replay. Two of those goals were late which is partly why it felt like he was making up the numbers. I take your point about the congestion though. Swans were very good at getting back quickly in numbers all night. Gee they're fit. I hope we're that fit next year.

Was what Jake did this week any worse then Langford for 3/4 against the Hawks ? Sometimes the other bloke shines.

Back to Caddy. 9 possession . 2 marks. 2 goals. 1 tackle. As much as I did not mind it if they gave him a go I also would like to see a bit more on the form front.

Maybe not, but I was talking about Jake this week. I agree re: Caddy, he needs to be more impactful at VFL level before he can run out a game in the seniors. When he can do that I'm happy to see him in. Keen to get senior games into him with Wright taking the best defender. Logan McDonald has been really lucky to be able to develop alongside Buddy and appears to be flourishing now.

McDonald also only played 7 games in his first year although he did play early and was out after round 5.

I could refer yo to Harry Jones who after a good beginning got senior games in his third year when his form was not great and now he is struggling to do what he was good at.

Yeah if Caddy's fitness picks up and he gets 7, even 5, games this year, I'd be stoked with that.

Have to check with the AFL what days we can bring weed in and not get caught.

Very funny yodellinhank … feel this is a “medical issue” not a PED one.

That's why you wear mouthguards, kids.

Remembered when Fletch had his front teeth knocked out at Subi one night - a West Coast fan a dental surgeon was at the game and put them back in afterward. Didn't see what happened but Caddy might have to look after himself a little bit more.

Weideman backed into him, they collided in midair and Caddy essentially took a bite out of Weid’s head.

It always surprises me at the amount of players that roll sans mouthguard

Wasnt sure whether to do a laughing or angry emoji.

From memory Timmy didn't have too many teeth.

I only really see one player in the AFL without a mouthguard these days and it's Dusty.

Back in the day, Daniel Chick never wore one.
