Thought he reminded me of Macrae actually, was probably the one I was least excited about but definitely coming round on him.

A lot of potential but a bit of a risk I reckon. Hope he makes it.

Hartlett's more of a griffen style power athlete. Hamilton looks more like a glider.
Love how a guy does something nice by gathering vision based on limited TV time of players and then because of that it's assumed as highlights and when a guy doesn't go at 100% in this vision of a swirly Geelong day or two that we ce to conclusions about his kicking.
If only some of his kicking at the start of the champs was in the vision we'd all be frothing.
I like some of his inside work on skippos video and love how he moves

Seeing Hamilton is related to the Jarman brothers if even 20%
of the genes rub off that will be a win. My middle name is
Hamilton, but you don't want my genes.

Might be a biased opinion, but I reckon he could end up a very good pick. Going to be following the career very closely, hope he succeeds 
Have to remember he has only really gotten into the elite set-up this year and that was on the back of good SANFL reserves performances.

Just commenting on the Declans disposal in the vid - great work by Skippos putting it together.
Bfore 24 hours ago, most of us didnt know he existed - fingers crssed the vid isnt representative of his usual skill level.
I was commenting based on people using the " this is supposed to be highlights?" Rhetoric
least favoured, but thinking thats because I think the talents pretty good amongst them all.
Im happy with our drafts overall. Maybe a ruckman was needed but hoping that can be filled by others. Looking forward to footy over the next few years.
We have the potential if it all comes together.
I think the macartney darymple and co have done a pretty good job last few years. Hope it all starts to come together..... with the new coaching crew.

Skippos said that next year he won't be calling it a highlights, its all the footage he can find of him from the two televised games
and like you said, one of those days was real swirly
I wonder where he will end up playing, because he has played multiple positions
which is something Dalrymple said we wanted

Just a point on excuses being made for the dodgy skills on show from Hamilton in that compilation from the games against both Vic teams:
Those are the same games that the super impressive highlights in the 9 min Caleb Daniel video come from, he didn't seem to have too much trouble maintaining his high disposal efficiency in those conditions.
So it is a bit of a worry, but I'm not going to write the kid off before he's even started. Should have plenty of chance to work on his kicking in windy conditions at Whitten Oval, anyway!

Caleb Daniel is a jet, that is why
if you have the game and you watch it, a lot of kicks were going out on the full when the players tried to kick the ball to the wing
Daniel must just be better at handling the conditions which is good to know

Yeah I did watch the games at the time and a lot of the players were struggling with it.Caleb Daniel is a jet, that is why

As you suggest it just serves to paint little Caleb as even more of a gun, and even he did misplace a couple of longer kicks to the wing.

Just watched back the review footage from skippos. Really surprised at the negativity. He socks one well toward goal which the wind clearly grabs, just doesn't make the distance with one from 50 (even wright couldn't that day), misses a set shot (the least important thing to consider in the video), hits a long ball to a one on one which his opponent wins(took the right options), and gets two handbills cut off but the video shows plenty of inside class by hand in traffic.
And the big one, where he picks it up and kicks the Hail Mary from the boundary OOF, he was performing an extremely athletic action, it reflects well on his movement he could scoop it up and get boot to ball in one action

I think cleveland meant that he looks like him physically I.e., similar facial features. Not as a player.
I agree with you Harold. Daniels and Dale look like a couple of beauties though.
