AFL Player 30: Nate Caddy - Reports of groin tightness, restricted training loads for a few weeks - 20/11

i think he’s relishing the opportunity to play infront of crowds like this, iirc he was touted as having “some” attitude, right?

I would hope 'confidence' has its own checkbox on the recruiting team forms, but they're probably just the Dodoro template that was on the thumbdrive given to RFK and Rosa, so who knows?

Funny, Dodoro may not have even handed something like that over, citing intellectual property rights. Funnier, the club itself probably maintains that right. And here we are.

But yeah, Caddy's attitude.

 

[Groundhog Day]

Nah, not at all. Caddy has a heap of ability and good hands. Draper was just a big clueless lump who looked like he had great size and athleticism and not much else.

Caddy looks like a footballer.

We say that now about Draper but at the time everyone was excited about our next ruckman for the next decade.
And yes, it was a sh1t/silly post but I guess I’m just a little bit burned by Draper, Daniher being our next Lloyd/Lucas, Aaron Francis 10 year Jack of all trades utility, Reid a 10 year CHB, Cox a game changing 200cm wing who can kick it 60m on both feet, Perkins the Mark Mecuri half forward/mid hybrid, Tsatas the big body burst midfielder etc.
FWIW, I think he’s going to be a gun (pending the traditional Essendon KPP career threatening injury).

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Is looking good so far. Get one more crumber around him and drop Stringer and we will see a potent forward fifty.

Kako.

Game is cooked if Caddy is suspended

He runs into caddy and causes the high contact. Collingwood 0 weeks. Essendon tax 3 weeks.
It reminds me of weiderman and we kknow how that ended

Cleared at MRO.

was always going to happen, there's no way you could say what happened was even remotely his fault

You missed the Weideman incident then.

You missed the Weideman incident then.

Are you new to Bigfooty?

was?

 

[Efc1robbo]

This kid is such a joy to watch

 

[Schnitzengruben]

It's funny how much more enjoyable the game becomes to watch when you, for the first time in a millennia, use a top end draft pick on a forward.

 

[horj89]

First time seeing him live last night and he was really impressive. Kicked his 3 but could have had a real bag if he clunked a few more. Gets up and down the ground really well, good at ground level and also applies reasonable pressure.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Please don't ruin this kid Essington. He's got superstar written all over him.

Did they have to include this zinger at the end of the article?

"The Bombers slipped to an 11-1-9 record after their after-the-siren loss to Gold Coast.

 

[MattyB3150]

I was really dissapointed with the loss on the weekend but after the game the one thing that gave me a little bit of positivity was watching Caddy’s game.

Haven’t been this excited about a draft pick since Joey D. He has ‘it’.

 

[Blind Turn]

Hadn’t considered it before, but I’m genuinely concerned we’ll lose this kid to another club. That’s how dire our direction has become.

As dire as the direction of some of his shots on goal?
