Richmond’s mature-age, midfield recruit Josh Caddy was a member of an exclusive group of players last year.

Caddy, in what was to be his final season at Geelong, averaged more than 20 disposals and a goal a game.

He finished with 21 goals from 18 appearances – an average of 1.2 per game.  And, he averaged 20.2 disposals per match.

There were only 10 players throughout the entire competition, who achieved the choice 20-plus disposals and one goal or more average in the 2016 season (based on a minimum of five games played).
