Josh Caddy has retired [merged]

Have a look at the stats, highest possession winner
12 marks on a wing -Good game

[pmac21]

Other than a few brain farts I thought we was pretty good

[Andyy]

Played well but I find him slow between the ears and in the body. Skills decent.

Favourite attribute is that he has a go physically and is prepared to get into a scuffle.

Still think the game has passed him. He's not beyond serviceability but is really now a depth player. Amazed he wasn't playing earlier with Cotch and Prestia out.

I can't find the footage of it online but on 7news tonight they showed while spending time with Cotch and Dusty, Caddy slipped on a rock by a rock-pool and went for a sixer falling down and bouncing into the water lol. Luckily, he only ended up with some bruising around his derriere.

Papers stamped you'd presume. A senior player who can't get a game in our depleted midfield after 39 possies in the ressies is clearly on the outer.

Should have played him 2-3 weeks ago when the season was on the line.

No point now.

Trade or whatever.

With one year still on the table at Punt Rd, a dual-premiership Tiger could request a trade away from Tigerland in search for greener pastures.

Edit: Here's the full article:

Richmond dual-premiership player Josh Caddy is weighing up whether to explore a move to a fourth club in this year’s trade period. The versatile half forward-wing was in and out of the Tigers’ team this season and has no guarantees he will be a regular in the best 22 next year.

He averaged 13 possessions across nine matches this season and booted two goals for the year.

Caddy has one more year remaining on his contract at Punt Rd, but the former Gold Coast and Geelong forward is aware Richmond would facilitate a trade if it suited both parties.

Richmond, which has a suite of first and second-round draft picks (No.s 7, 16, 26 and 28), wants to inject more youth into the squad in the off-season as part of a post-premiership dynasty refresh.

Sources believe Caddy still has plenty of good footy left in him but while he may be best suited to a position in the forward line the Tigers are well-stocked with Tom lynch, Jack Riewoldt and electric goal kicker Shai Bolton in attack.

Caddy, who turns 29 next month, has been a key player at times for Richmond throughout its premiership run, earning selection in the All-Australian squad of 40 in 2018.

He finished 10th in the Tigers’ best and fairest that season as Collingwood upset the Tigers in the preliminary final. But it remains unclear which club would be his best fit for next year as list manages balance tight salary caps.

At least one interstate club has been raised as a genuine option for Caddy but any deal would most likely involve a late pick.

Suggest he’d leave if a 2/3 deal is tabled to him given it will likely be his final multi year deal of his career. Dunno what they mean by late pick but surely he is worth atleast a third rounder.

I was halfway through a jumbo pack of twisties when i read this article then stopped eating….. will throw them in as a steak knives

[Rampsation]

Its just a salary cap dump imho.

[pmac21]

I dint think we played this well at all.  If Josh was played a bit more he might have some trade currency but now he will leave for virtually zero.

I’ve never understood the logic of playing a fringe player in the seniors for trade value. If we want someone who’s a fringe player in our senior, it should be a kid with upside.

The reality these day’s is that you get what you pay for.

"If Josh Caddy had a suitor and a club was willing to take him on their books I don't think Richmond would stand in his way, but I can't see clubs coming for him."
