It’s called a 3 year contract clawski
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

What you mean hes got one more after this year? FMD if there is no intention to pick a 29 yr old in the seniors why the hell did we keep him.

He signed a 2 year contract extension in the pre-season of 2020. He was 28 at the time and had come off playing in 62 of a possible 74 games included 2 premierships. Hardly the worst list management decision ever made. He is out of contract at the end of the season.

Dual premiership Tiger Josh Caddy has today announced his retirement from AFL football effective immediately.

Caddy, a 2017 and 2019 premiership player, played 174 games and booted 164 goals across his 12-year AFL career.

Richmond General Manager- Football Talent Blair Hartley said that Caddy had made a considerable contribution to the Tigers.

“Josh can walk away from his AFL career with his head held high and proud of what he has achieved,” he added.

“His skillset made us a better team throughout a successful time for our Club and we value the connections and memories made along the way.

“We wish Josh all the best for the future, he will always be a Richmond man.”

Thank you Josh. Good luck in whatever life throws at you.

Dual premiership player. Not many can say that.

Thanks Cads  :clapping. All the best in your post-footy career.

His bigger body and physicality was a key part to our 2017 flag and his adaptability allowed him to play wing in our 2019 flag.

Thanks Caddy. Sadly his body slowed down but his physicality and also ability to put goals on the board is something I’ll remember. Thanks for your part in the dynasty

According to Dimma, Caddy has done a Grigg. Selflessly retired for the betterment of the Club and to give someone else a chance to play AFL  :clapping. Also joked that Caddy wants to select the player we now pick up in the MSD  ;D

If they had any guts or brains they would ask him to retire.But lets face it i have the gut feel it has never been about anyone but Josh so it will not happen.

Why the hell we kept a bloke we were not going to play is mind boggling

Somebody is wrong here. My guess is not somebody that has inside knowledge of the club.

Well done Josh both on what you gave to the club when playing and what you are giving in retiring. Another one of the more unsung hero's of our flag years.

Well done Josh and thanks

Not just for helping us win 2 flags but also the work you've put in helping develop the cubs at VFL level
