“Entitled to his opinion”: Caddy addresses old man’s slip of the tongue
Nate Caddy has extended his stay with Essendon, re-signing for a further three years to take his tenure through to 2031.

The three-year extention will reportedly see Caddy earning around $1.5 million per year over the duration of the contract; a sum that feels relatively tame given his potential stardom within that five-year stretch.
However, Tom Morris has stated that's it's the 21-year-old's loyalty and love for Essendon that renders the finances irrelevant.
“He is fully committed – he is the sort of guy that is just all in and just loves the club, even though since he last re-signed in June of 2025, they’ve won one game and lost 17.
