“It’s not working”: Position of two-time premiership Tiger questioned

2020-07-03T09:25+10:00

Where should Richmond deploy dual premiership player Josh Caddy?

Caddy played on the wing during last week’s loss to St Kilda and was badly beaten by star Saints wingman Brad Hill.

Former Tigers coach Terry Wallace says Damien Hardwick must utilise Caddy in a different position after Matthew Lloyd said the former Cat and Sun shouldn't play on the wing at senior level ever again.

“He came into the side two weeks ago underdone. I’ve got no doubt that he was underdone,” Wallace told SEN's The Match Committee.

“I thought it was a real struggle for him last week. Even his physicality has gone down a notch.

“There were times last week where he allowed Hill – and we know Hill is such a great runner – you’re not going to catch Hill when he gets goal-side of you.

“A big bloke like Caddy should never be allowing Hill to pass him by in the first place. The physicality of his game wasn’t quite where it should be.

“I thought he was off the week before in his first game back. Better after half-time but certainly very, very quiet.

“It’s not working for the position thar he is playing. He used to sit alongside of (Jack) Riewoldt, but can he sit alongside (Tom) Lynch and Riewoldt?”

Caddy performed the defensive wing-back role well in the latter stages of last season and was one of Richmond's key contributors across the finals series.
