Welcome to the Club pick 46 Western Bulldogs Caleb Daniel

Was hoping we got him somewhere in the draft.

This warrants another post. He isn't similar to Diesel, Nelly, he IS Diesel:


It's actually scary; it's like they're like carbon copies of each-other.

Really hope you are right GB - good observation too - there is more than a bit of Deisel Williams in him. I see more Sam Mitchell in Caleb though.

That video was very good hey?

As confirmed they are not highlights but every single bit of vision of him from the championships that was televised. Watched a couple of SANFL games too and he's a terrier.

Sure was good. Thanks for that. Will be a cult player in no time. And get lots of frees for high tackles...

How tall was Williams?

Placed $2 on Caleb at $81 for the 2014 Rising Star.

expect Zain to get the award or at least go close.

How tall was Williams?

Williams was around 176cm, 10cm or so more than Caleb. In the video, there's actually a contest with Williams and Libba Snr and you can see the difference between those two.

You would have been better off betting on the 2015 rising star.

Diesel was as slow as a wet week, Daniel's has far more toe, and will be able to traverse the wings, as well as do the in and under stuff. Can you imagine him roving a ball - up in the forward fifty, as soon as he grabs the ball he'll be tackled high, free goals!!! Need him to start practising the Selwood shrug.

Just watched the involvements video on Youtube, Wow. Impressed. Whether he can transfer that against blokes with an average of 20-25cm and 20kg's on him, I don't know. If he can? Watch out.

Won't take any marks in the AFL, but I feel as though if we groom him as a half forward flanker (Don't wan't him deep, as he can't mark and his footy smarts and ball use will be bloody wasted in a pocket), we will have a weapon on our hands. Imagine Sandilands trying to tackle him.. 44cm, 53kg's difference. High tackle machine, anyone?

He won't need the Selwood shrug, He'll need to practise a little jump to ensure the tackler actually reaches his head.

Or he can just run under the tackler.

ThAts a very brave bet

ThAts a very brave bet

$20 isn't really that much of an outlay. Four beers

 

[Dav1d]

ThAts a very brave bet

I've known supporters to say at games from previous years in the previous very proudly admit they've backed Jones for the Coleman

there is an even braver bet

 

[Hank93]

Basically you guys have got the midget version of Ablett.

Every game I've seen him play its just jaw dropping stuff.

I'm so rapt he got a chance in the national draft, hopefully his game can still stand up in the AFL. Will be interesting.

If he was 180cm+ i would have thought he'd have gone pick 1.

Even though I don't drink these days id rather the 4 beers , not saying Daniel isn't any good though

I was very close to backing Bonts at 70s this year for the rising star am now glad I didnt I would have lost my s**t as he was robbed anyone else who doesn't agree is kidding themselves

Welcome Caleb to the Dogs AA premiership squad:
Liber, Dalh
Stringer , Macrae
Boyd , Bonti
And now Caleb Daniel

Just need that back line beast
And we ready

 

[hazard]

Biggest steal of the draft IMO, bar none. How the * did you get him at 46??

 

[Beasley]

This bloke looks fantastic.

 

[bontshow]

There isn't a weakness in his game, just a vague notion that he's too small for AFL level. He could end up our best mid.
