The non-handball and subsequent miss to Perkins in the last quarter was probably the worst decision he’s made so far in his career. His drop-punt shots for goal are still an issue.
Aside from that, he was still the only exciting aspect of our play today.
He fell over with a mark spilt it
He walked into a goal sprayed it
He complains the ball doesn’t come to him
I must have missed the part where I even hinted that you weren’t allowed to share your opinion?
In the same way I’m allowed to comment that I think that opinion is nonsense.
He may sign, he may not, but using language that implies something so far away is a virtual certainty is just silly. In my opinion.
You’re absolutely entitled to your own opinion, but to somehow draw a conclusion that I was panicking and make a snide comment about panic dollars was also in my opinion “silly”.
We don’t have to agree and my post may have been extreme in its tone, but hey it happens on here. I think it is unlikely Caddy will stay- you don’t - that’s fine - but there is zero reason to patronise just because an opinion doesn’t match yours.
Better up the ground
His work rate when we don’t have the ball worries me more than his set shot kicking, it’s reaching Parish levels of intensity
Despite him playing in the worst club in the league he actually has had the chance to kick 4 or 5 goals a week. But doesn’t.
So does this make him elite? Or a disappointment?
He could have should have 6 tonight.
So much talent.
Working with Lloyd so he clearly wants to be better.
Extend his contract if / when he’s willing.
Do it.
He’s the least of the problems.
Weird take. There were at least a couple of occasions where he kicked it out of defence, and by the time it went inside 50 he was already there to contest the ball.
Agree with all of that but until he learns to kick he will never be an elite player. He’s got talent for sure - but that first kick today inside 50, he kicked it like a drunk donkey and hit the point post on the full. Elite players nail those kicks and lift their teams - his was OOBOTF with a nana shank.
I don’t think he’s noticeably worse than other key forwards in that regard nor really any others in the side, though I admit I’m not looking critically at him in that regard.
Nick Reiwoldt wasn’t a great kick but still an all-time great
I just think he will be playing further up the ground in a year or two.
I think we want Walter & May as our towers and Caddy to move up more.
Yes. May’s injury really hasn’t helped
More shots at goal than the coleman medal leaders, in the worst team in the league.
At age 20 no less.
Is 16th in the Coleman in the worst Essendon side any of us have seen in our lifetimes.
Glad the club are actively trying to re-sign him, he is one of our key pillars and with Lloyd working with him has the perfect forward craft development support.
The timing of Lloyd entering makes me wonder if Scott previously didnt allow it.
His work rate when we have the ball is fine, he doesn’t work hard enough when we don’t have it.
Right. So when he’s getting the ball in our defensive half, i guess the game is just pausing while he runs back there?
