"I want to be that inside midfielder that plays 200 games and a couple of flags"

I like him.

 

[fairbump_playon]

When asked what do you want to be known for, I fully expected him to say “I wanna be known as a hard nut”

 

[Old Campaigner]

He has the nose of a hard nut. I bet that got spread over his face on a few occasions while he was boxing

Hey all, I'm sure you've seen plenty of Caldwell vision by now but here's my 2019//2020 highlight video, if you're interested

Nice.

Good hands in close, kicking seems fine, good decision maker, decent overhead mark.
His acquisition has gone a bit under the radar because we haven't seen much of him, but I'm optimistic about his impact.

 

[doug85]

Looks like he gets a bit of distance in his kicks which is nice.

 

[Keystone agony]

Hes got it all. Watched him closely last year.

Loved him scrapping with Aaran Naughton and winning comfortably and Naughton being taken a back

I did see some photos of the returning players and thought he mightve filled out a bit more but good to see him back early regardless

 

[FlyingV]

Is he a good runner?

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Is he a good runner?

Apparently his rent is paid up till the end of February, so will have to wait a bit to find out

is even when playing forward is that midfielders mindset; quick hands, release to space, always looking to Identify a team mate in a better position.

Impressive

And, now, guernsey wise, he's doubled Parish.

 

[boncer34]

Any word how he's tracking?

 

[VelvetSledge]

Nice little article from Cal Twomey up today. Has done a full pre-season for the first time, and has really gelled with the coaches and the young midfield group we have. Looks like he'll be a good bet for Round 1.

Jye Caldwell on his decision to change clubs and his goals for 2021

www.afl.com.au

"This has been probably my best pre-season I've had I reckon. The last couple of years I haven't been up to scratch with them but now I've done a full pre-season, I've missed probably one or two sessions through a little bit of soreness. But other than that I've done the full pre-season and I'm feeling fit and ready to go. Hopefully these matches coming up will test out how fit you really are," he said.

"I'm very confident in my body now. I used to doubt what I could do beforehand, but now I'm in a really good state to train most days and get the best out of myself. That's what you need to do if you're trying to get better you need to get out there more often, which I'm doing."

Are you there?

Nah, I have sleeper agents on the fence at the Hangar keeping stats for me though.

I'm reading Twitter when I should be working

First full pre season in years. People are sleeping on how good this kid could be.

Never had a full AFL pre season and showed up at GWS injured. You can understand them being a little dirty after spending 2 years getting his body right. Good for us though if he gets a good run at it.

Same thing happened to us with Daniher though. Swings and roundabouts

Joey and Fantasia are flying for their respective clubs too. It happens.

Yep, swings and roundabouts. Great for us though if he gets a good run at it.

Big get this guy

Sorry they've gone but, hope they both get a good run at it.
Football needs class players on the ground playing.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

From the limited vision I've seen; this kid can play. Strongly considering him for my Fantasy team which is just about the highest honour one could receive, only second to a Brownlow.
