Seemed like half the team would need to be injured for him to get a game in the past couple seasons. Him being on the outer + his recent injury history probably forced his hand.

Good luck Cads, always enjoyed seeing you play for the RFC  :cheers

Thanks Josh for making Richmond a better place and being a great team player.
 I hope he gets a development role if that’s what he wants to do.

Caddy hit a rich vein of form just as we started our charge to the 2017 grand final . A valuable piece of the puzzle.

He was sensational in 2018 too - a real weapon .

Then there was 3 years of meh which must of been frustrating for all .

I'll look back and think of Caddy kicking the second goal of the prelim and the first goal of the grand final.

Thanks for your service Josh .

The blokes done the right thing and retired. Remains for me at least a very  disappointing player and will leave it at that.

Congratulations to him. Very selfless decision. He served the club well. I was really pleased when we drafted him and he played a very important part in our success between 2017 and 2019. Injuries plagued him at the end unfortunately. His coolness in kicking the first goal for us in 2017 GF was a really confidence building moment.

Exactly what I had hoped for. Retirement and a VFL gig. What a bloke, very selfless.

You weak prick
Not only can’t you admit you got your character assessment wrong, you take a potshot at him as a player

Played plenty of good footy for us and was instrumental in the 17 flag.

“Disappointing” is laughable.

Purely as a footballer I think he had 1 A grade year in 2018. 2017 and 2019 probably B grade. After that he has been quite non-existent despite hot VFL form and a slew of injuries in 2021 which probably tells you he wasn't in a good place mentally or the coaching panel probably thought he wasn't up to it at AFL level.

So in the pure playing sense I probably agree with claw. This is his 6th year on the list and only half of them have been worthwhile as a player.


Aside from that, as a bloke, a team mate, from a VFL development perspective, as a leader etc he has been excellent. One thing I really enjoyed about Caddy was his reputation as a bit of a campaigner. The 50m penalties he conceded were a pain but there's few things I hate more than seeing a Tiger get roughed up and no team mates go in for a scuffle. You could always bank on Caddy getting involved and looking after his mates and that is a big part of the culture that has made this dynasty happen.

Thanks Josh and GL.

Was elite for kicking the ball 60m long through the goals from one metre out

Interesting, could argue Richmond changed its game plan and made his role as a forward pinch hitting in the midfield redundant after we played 3 chase down small forwards. I always thought it killed his confidence but to show his true character he never gave up on and off the field
Everyone has bad games but to bring them up as he goes out the door lacks a bit of respect for a great clubman.
Very happy he is helping out in a development role.
