Needs to fix his hands if he’s ever going to become superstar.

I thought the media commentary today on him was extremely harsh. Literally the kicking to him is absolutely dogs**t never to his advantage or straight over his head. He needed to mark a few chances that he dropped today, but for Lyon etc to be questioning his competitiveness and willingness to get to contest, he obviously doesn’t watch caddy much.

And his kicking. That one in the last was 'mucking around with mates on the school oval' bad

 

[Bombers36]

I wouldn't mind seeing him tried down back for a couple of games. It cant hurt - we can play the mid-season guys McMahon & May in the forward line with 2MP and Caddy at CHB

 

[NAB777]

Looking forward to reading this thread in two years. I reckon there's going to be a lot of frustration.

Brown hair , Black boots and have a crack

hit positioning too

he is always running under the ball so makes marking it that one bit harder.

He must have been dirty about losing some contests to O’Sullivan. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t put in a better showing in 6 weeks time. Ffs. Only 6 weeks before we have to play those ****ers again.

Even I would look good playing in that backline defending the absolute garbage F50 delivery we serve up.

 

[Darealrath]

His timing in the air comes and goes

Im hoping that improves as he gets stronger, but some weeks he just doesn’t hold his ground and gets under the ball all night

Something to work on but I love that he always wants to play in front.

He will be a superstar one day. Reminds me a tonne of Charlie Curnow

with the field kicking. Needs to improve his set shots and clunk a few more of those "almost" marks (although credit, he's had amazing hands today) and the sky is the limit.

 

[Vander18]

Gee his ceiling is looking high. Some of his stuff tonight has been outrageous for a second year key forward. Making difficult things look easy.

Great mover - like Buddy, it’s exciting to watch when he gets the ball in space and really floors it.

 

[naraku]

He will be the games most exciting and possibly best forward soon.

Look Sam Darcy does exist

 

[quotemokc]

Responsible for most of our goals even if not credited with direct goal assists

 

[Doss]

This kid is going to be very good.

 

[Beerfish]

Please stay away essington. Don't poison this lad's soul!

 

[rioli brownlow]

Looks so much better when he is playing up the ground and not stuck in the forward line

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Feels weird having a first round pick live up to the hype. Cant believe the stuff he is capable of at 19, imagine when hes 24/25.

Sam Darcy has a Nate Caddy poster on his wall

I know the club thought he could eventually play some midfield minutes when they drafted him.

At best getting high and working back. He’s a brilliant runner.

He almost runs harder that Curnow. May the perfect partner IMO.

That barrel off one step was something else, Fletcher like.

Will win a few games off his boot like Blight IMO.

So is he a genuine CHF or a Hird like half forward?

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Hird was a midfielder masquerading like a half forward so can't compare the two.

But Caddy's ability to pick the ball up cleanly off the deck is freakish and something I don't see many half forwards do, and he's still a teen.
